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.
