MIRACLES OF MODERN SURGERY.
How tho Human Body Is Illuminated
Like a Cliineso Lnntcrn--Sowlng
Up n Wounded IIenrt--Searc!ilng
tho Living lirnin.
Writing from Washington to the
Providence Journal Rene Bache says:
The wonders talked about in the Medi
cal congress, which has lately been in
session here, would furnish material
for a new volume of Arabian Nights,
published ns a scientific appendix.
From what they said one might get
a notion as to why the average dura
tion of human life In civilized coun
trleb has been lengthened since the
middle of this century by more than
ten years. All sorts of feats of sur
gery, which were deemed Impossible
only a generation ago, are now per
formed without great danger to the
patient, and the physician lr. able to
cplcro with an electric light the In
most recesses of the body, looking for
whatever may be wrong. He does not
hf-sllate even to Invade the temple of
the mind, prying amid the grey
thought-substance for causes of mis
chief. This, Indeed, Is one of the greatest
of new surgical marvels. The exact
situation of a tumor on the brain is
located by observation of bodily symp
toms, and then the skull Is opened
and the morbid growth Is temoved. It
may be that the sufferer loses the
hearing of one ear, and the physician
looks for the cause In the auditory
area of the cerebral cortex. Or an In
flammation of the ear will bring about
an abscess on the brain, through the
introduction of disease germs bred in
the pus, and the simple thing to do
is to open the skull and empty the
abscess. Of late the surgeons have
been trying to cure epilepsy by trephin
ing operations, to remove the pressure
on the brain which, according to ac
cepted theory nowadays, is tho cause
of that dreaded disease.
SEWED UP THE HEART.
From time Immemorial It has been
considered that a wound of the heart
In a physical and not sentimental
sense was necessarily and immellate
ly fatal. Nevertheless, only the other
day Dr. Rehm, of Frankfort-on-the-Mnin,
sewed uo a man's heart, which
had been stabbed through with a knife,
and the patient Is alive and well now.
Of course, this could not have been
accomplished without tho aid of those
antiseptic methods which' have fairly
revolutionized surgery within the last
twenty years. Boiled lnstruments.germ
kllllng solutions, and absolute cleanli
ness form the whole sum and sub
stance of this new departure In medi
cal treatment. All germ being killed,
no blood poisoning or Intlarnmatlon
follows the operation, and the wound
made by the surgeon's knife heals Im
mediately. In old times it would have
been out of the question to sew up a
man's liver, which had been cut almost
to pieces, a was clone recently in
Washington by Dr. James Kerr. That
man Is In flrst-iate health at present,
by the way.
The Illumination of the human body
for the purpose of studying Its Inside
works li one of the most Interesting
of latter-dav achievements for thera
peutic purposes. Some time ago a
French scientist named Trouve made
experiments with a view to contemplat
ing the Internal anatomy of living
fishes. He would cause a fish In an
aquarium to swallow a small electric
light bulb, which was mistaken for a
dainty, on the end of a wire. Thus, by
illumination from within, every bone In
the fish could be seen distinctly. This
Idea, was taken up by an Ingenious phy
sician, who persuaded dyspeptic- pa
tients to swallow a similar apparatus.
The result, in a dark room, was that the
stomach was lighted up with sufficient
clearness to enable the observer to see
If anything serious was wrong with It.
If there was an opacity, It signified dis
ease. In this way tho cancer was found
In the stomach of the fJomte de Paris.
The doctors thought oi removing the
organ and substituting the stomach of
a lamb, but the operation was deemed
too hazardous.
The tissues of the body become trans
lucent to a considerable extent when
placed between the eye and a brilliant
light. Thus, by the aid of the bulb
aforesaid, It was practicable not to Bee
into tho stomach exactly, but to find
out If anything was wrong. This plan
has been adopted In cases where per
sons have swallowed false teeth or oth
er objects hopeless of digestion. In such
an event the foreign body would make
its presence palpable by a distinct
opacity, as observed from the front
outside. There is a contrivance, con
sltlng of a sort of box, In which a man
stands, with a very bright light behind
him, the result being that his entire
body Is rendered translucent. Under
such condftlons the state of his Inward
parts can bo ascertained with a good
deal of accurafcy, something abnormal
being Indicated by an opuque spot
where there "'jj no bone.
ILLUMINATING THE BLADDER.
Nothing Is thought nowadays of ex
amining tho interior of tlw bladder
with an electric light, actually looking
Into It to find out If anything Is amiss
with that important organ. In like
fashion the throat is inspected, the
sperator throwing a searchlight Into
th'o windpipe and monkeying with the
Vocal cords as he pleases, seeing mean
while Just what he la doing. Thus he
Is enabled to remove from tho cords
any abnormal growth, such as might
occasion the greatest distress and even
death If It were permitted to remain.
The Instruments used for this sort of
purpose are necessarily of the utmost
delicacy, one of them, for cutting, be
In? like a little guillotine on tho end of
a long arm. Hut, to the layman, tho
most striking use of tcctrlclly in tho
Illumination of the body, Is for discov
ering If aught Is wrong with' th'o phar
ynx or other cavities behind tho face.
An electric bulb Is Introduced In such
a manner as to illuminate tho wholo
mask of the face, so to speak, the ef
fect being more ghastly than thut of
nny death's head.
Physicians In ordinary practice con
sider dentists as Inferiors profession
ally; yet it Is a fact that dental sci
ence has progressed more than any
other brunch of surgery within tho
last quarter of a century, If that which
pertains to tho eyo be excepted. Fialee
teeth are now made to such perfection
that, while deceiving the eye to admi
ration, they are almost as good as real
ones for chewing. But th'e most won
derful thing accomplished by tho den
tal surgeon is the transplatlon of
teeth. He can actually take a good
fresh drawn tooth from the mouth of
one person and plant It in the Jaw of
another, fo thai It will grow and bo to
all Intents and purposta as good as
If It had sprouted originally In Its new
situation. A satisfactory connects
with the old nerve Is established, the
fortunate act being that nothing in the
body unites more readily than nerve
tlE-we.
TRANSPLANTING BONES.
The transplantation of bones is an
other triumph of the new surgery.
Where a human bone has become dis
eased or otherwise damaged beyond re
pair, It can be replaced under reason
ably favorable conditions by a bone
taken from an animal. Only the other
day tho leg bone of a child In New
York city was made good In this way
by a bone from the leg of a dog. Rough
on the dog, one may say, but that point
Is not considered seriously In questions
of human life and health. Tho nose Is
an organ liable to damage, and va
rious diseases attack It and Impair Its
beauty. Where the bridge of that or
gan has fallen In, or has been de
stroyed, It has been found practicable
to put In an artificial bridge of chicken
bone. Sometimes gold or platinum Is
preferred as the material. The proper
antiseptic methods being followed, the
flesh heals over the new bridge with
out Irritation, and thus life Is made
worth living once more.
The eye being one of the most Impor
tant organs of the body, It Is lucky
that medical science knows so much
about It. In fact, knowledge of the
eye comes extremely near to being an
exact science. The conditions of civil
ized life do not seem to suit the eye,
and the consequence Is that compara
tively few people go through life with
out some trouble with their sight.
Nearsightedness becomes more preval
ent with every generation; It Is a dis
ease producing change of structure and
an abnormal shape of the eye. Nobody
knows Just what the nature of the dis
ease Is, but optical compensation for
the result Is made by means of concave
lenses. Astigmatism to most people
so mysterious a term Is merely an Ir
regular shape of the cornea, which Is
set on the front of the eye like a watch
glass. Most people have more or less
of It. This likewise Is corrected by
proper glasses. A generation ago peo
ple with sore eyes were very common.
Nowadays, thanks to the fact that
most people who need them wear the
proper glasses, such complaints are
rarely observed.
SWAPPING EYES.
Every now and then one reads In the
newspapers about the transplantation
of an eye from a rabbit or some other
animal to tho empty eyesocket of n
human being. Invariably the result Is
plated to have been a great surgical
triumph. As a matter of fact, how
ever, the person thus, treated gets no
sight; it is all a fake and nonsense.
The thing has been tried over and
over again, but always without suc
cess, because no animal's eye Is Just
like man's in size, shape and structure.
If a human being could bo persuaded
to give up a healthy eye for the benefit
of another Individual, there might be
a success and a renewal of vision,
through a uniting of the old optic
nerve with the new one. But it would
be extremely problematical at the best.
There Is no future ahead In that direc
tion. The development of modern
knowledge respecting tho eye Is due
primarily to th'e ophthalmoscope a
simple disc-shaped mirror with a hole
through the centre, by means of which
tho physician is enabled to look Into
the organ and examine Its Interior. He
can even get a glimpse of tho grey
matter of the brain by gazing through
the little canal through which the op.
tic nerve enters the brain from the eye.
Deformities nowadays are almost un
necessary, so many of them are curable
with the aid of modern surgery. There
Is no reason why anybody should be
cross-eyed; a simple operation cures
that. When a perso'n Is very cross
eyed, It means that he has the sight
of only one eye. But the vision of the
blind eyo can be restored perfectly
under ordinary circumstances, by the
operation aforesaid. No excuse exists
wherefor any one should have a club
foot in these times, or a hand similarly
disabled. It Is nearly always practic
able to remedy such a defect in child
hood by surgical treatment, und there
aro plenty of charitable Institutions to
which even the poorest may apply for
assistance of the kind. Doctors are apt
to be glad enough to have the oppor
tunity of practice. The humpback to
day Is almost an anachronism, inas
much as this dreadful affliction, due to
inherited dis-ease, Is removable by suit
able means. The sufferer from this
trouble, or from lateral curvature of tho
spine, Is wrapped In folds of crinoline
saturated with moist plaster of parls,
hanging by the hands from a bar mean
while, and the Jacket thus formed and
renewed at Intervals makes the back
bone straight.
AURAL ACHIEVEMENTS.
It Is fortunate that the ear Is not
open to Inspection like tho eye, Its
internal arrangements being unap
proachable visually. It is impossible
even to lnvestlcato the organ satis
factorily after death, for the reason
that the- partn collapse at onoe when
the vital spark leaves the body. The
drum In a living person bars the way
to observation, and even though It be
pierced, the winding passages beyond
cannot bo seen through. On'the fur
thor side of tho drum are three little,
bones, the "mallet," "anvil," and "stir
rup," which act on each other as lev
ers. The vibrations of air which strike
the drum are conveyed by these bones
to a spiral shell-shaped chamber Just
lehlnd and above the external open
ing of the oar. The shell Is composed
ot filaments of the auditory nerve,
and they convey the sound Impressions
directly to tho brain. Beautiful artifi
cial ears, flexible and costing 100 each
ate made of vulcanized rubber, paint
ed by hand. Missing ears are mostly
lost In railway disasters and by acci
dents with machinery.
It has been ascertained recently that
superfluous hair on the human body
clan be disposed of most eifectually by
exposing the part to the X rays. The
process should only be attempted by
an expert. Inasmuch as careless use of
tho raya'has done much Injury. Hith
erto the only successful method was
to extirpate the Individual' hdlrs' with
an "electric needle. Another" recent
discovery will do away with that awful
affliction, goitre. This disease Is en
largement of the thyroid gland in the
neck. Injections of an extract obtained
from tho thyroid glands of sheep
quickly reduce tho gland to Its rlor
mal proportions. Yet another dis
covery, only a few months old, is a
means of diagnosing typhoid fever. It
Is learned that tho germs of typhoid
will collect in little balls when Intro
duced Into some drops of the bood of
a patient afflicted with this disease; If
the disease is not present, they will
not gather In this way. Ono of the
most curious of the very new surgical
appllancea Is a little metal box to
which a couple of hearing tubes are at
tached. It Is a.' species of telephone,
and, by noticing the differences In the
sounds that come through It, one may
draw a map on tho surface of the body
of all the Internal organs. This Is Im
portant, as determining, any enlarge
ment, shrinkage, or displacement.
THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Review.
New York, Juno 12.-.3ugar asserted its
leadership of the market quite emphatic
ally today and the tone of the market
was almost whotty dependent upon devel
opmentJn it. Tho dealings in Sugar stock
represented fully one-fifth of the total
transactions. Tho coal stocks were quite
notably strong In the early dealings. The
total sales of stocks today wcro 110,731
shares.
