New Medical Marvel.

Of all the remarkable medical innovations, probably the most marvelous Is a new antiseptic solution perfected after ten years’ work by Dr. Wilfred Fralick of New York; Dr. Oscar Eckstein of |he University of Berlin, and Dr. A. C. Allen of the University of Chicago. It is superior to the famous CarrelDakin solution because, in addition to everything that preparation can do, it can be used on the brain and in the abdominal cavity and can be injected directly into the blood without danger. The last named quality makes it of startling significance in the treatment of blood poisoning. While to put the Carrel-Dakin solution into the veins of a patient would mean certain death, the new preparation, a chlorinated solution of permanganate of-potash, can be run directly into the blood stream without disturbing anything there except the evil elements meant to be attacked.
