To Stop Bleeding.
Air. Lawson Tait has invented an
electric haemostat, an instrument
whereby the electric current fs applied
for the arrest of bleeding, The prinei-
ple of the instrument is the generation
of heat by the resistance to the current
offered by certain metals, and the coag-
uation of all albuminous tissues by
temperatures at or above 180 degrees
A platingm wire is In-
closed in the blades of a pair of steel
ment, the wire being isolated by a bed
of burned pipe clay. A current of suit
able voltage is turned oun, the artery
seized and compressed, and in a few
seconds ita tissues are so coagulated
and Ha walle agglatinated that furthe?

thus removed, and a new and come
