THE GAZKTTE-T1MK8. HEPPXKK. OKF., THURSDAY, DEC. 31. 1014 r.(;K six "MOTHK.tmOOn WITHOUT KKAK"' A ten months aso McClure's mag a?.inc a.-.nouncoil t; t!m prospective mothers of the country that a re lunrka'.-'.o discovery had been made by which the pangs of childbirth were to be forever abolished. Tilt announcement was made in the form t f an article by two women, appar tntl.v of no medical training. The remarkable discovery was the long discredited seopolaniin-morphin an algesia, first siiKKested in 1902. This sensational article was taken advan tage of by a pharmaceutic firm foi free advertising of a nostrum, basec. on a similar formula; a number ol physicians previously unknown breupht themselves into newspaper prominence with naive statements re parding their ability in the use ol the method and with reports of theii success; a host of "sob-writers" and sisters of the pen. whose work Is test ed by their ability to wring anguish from sympathetic hearts, filled col umns of the daily press and maga zines with pseudo-scientific rubbish. And now, when'thls sensation has about died out, we are supplied with another. This one is furnished by Mr. Vane Thompson, playwright and novelist; the medium is the Cosmo politan magazine. In an editor's ncte the article describing this new method of eliminating the pains of la'jnr is introduced as follows: "The all absorbing events of the last days of July prevented the spread of the most Joyful message ever sent from the scientist's labor atory to w oman. It was that hence forth she will bear children not in pr.in and terror but in gladness. Par is knew of it; the French Acadmy of Medicine had accepted it, but it got no further. Mr. Thompson was ther in the city and to him has fallen tin wonderful opportunity of carryinc the good news to the men and womei of America. Here it is. "Attention must he called to t!v tact that the practice here described nas nothing to do with the morphin scopolamin treatment originated some years ago in Freiburg and which has had some measure of ex ploitation under the popular name of "twilight sleep." This requires special and very expert care on the part of the physician, and has the further disadvantage of drugging the patient into a state of partial in sensibility. It can be administered properly only in hospitals, and its use In general practice should, and prob ably will, be forbidden by law. But detoxicated morpUin, without the slightest danger to the mother, caus es neither check nor delay, does not interfere with the necessary ryth mic muscular contractions and make.1 painless childbirth a scientific cer tainty." As a composition, The Journal of the American Medical Association re gards Mr. Thompson's article as fair ly comparable with that of the two ladies who reintroduced "twilight sleep" to American women; but for sentimental rot, for pseudoscientific rubbish, and for downright "sob writing" Mr. Vance Thompson must be given the palm. As to the facts, in one place it is stated: "I do not write of this discovery as being in an experimental stage. It has been accepted by the French Academy of Medicine the date was the third week in July. Surgeons, gynecologists, chemists, doctors of all degrees have examined, tested, ap proved. For once scientific men have been unanimous." There is no excuse for such false statements; even Mr. Thompson could easily have learned the truth What are the facts? What is thif "detoxicated morphin" which, we are told, eliminates the pains of child birth? Last July, Ribemont-Des-saignes reported to the Academy of Medicine of Paris a number of cases of childbirth in which he had used, for the relief of pain, a preparation "discovered" by a chemist named Paulin. The nature of the prepara tion was not disclosed to the acad emy. September 1, presumably as a result of the suggestion of Paulin, a request tame to the academy from the Minister of War asking the opin ion of the academy as to the advis Bbility of using this remedy, present ed under the name "Tocanalgine" and "Antalgine" in military hospitals as a substitute for morphin. By unanimous vote the academy de clared that, the formula and compo sition of these meuicines being un known, it could give no opinion. Since it was stated, however, that the new drug was produced by the ac tion of enzymes on morphin, the academy appointed a committee to Investigate oxydi-morphin, a chemi cal substance which it was known could be produced by the action of enzymes on morphin. Under the di rection of the committee, two chem ists examined samples of the new- preparation obtained directly from the discoverer. The examination showed that these samples were va riable and that they did not contain any oxydimorphin. The only active Ingredient found by these chemists was morphin hydroclorid, and this In quantities varying from 0.05 to 4 per ceot. The conclusions of these two chemists were latr emphasized by Uertrand who.fter careful chem ical and biologic tests of samples sub mitted to Mm, found that the solid residue ' was exclusively formed of hydrochloric! of morphin, and that is was fully as toxic and dangerous as morphin, as might be expected the symptoms of poisoning were ex actly the same as those of morphin hvdrochlorid, and death occurred af ter the same Interval. A dose of the 'reparation would give about H .rain of morphin. In other words, udging from the reports which ap cared in the Journal de parmacie ct le eliim-o fer November 16, and the lullelin de l'Academie de medeciue rom July 21 to November 17, this o-called "detoxicated morphin" is ssentially a solution of morphin in impules. It will kill just as quick y as morphin, it will relieve pain ust as quickly as morphin because is morphiu. Naturally, the Acad .uy of Medicine of Faris has not ac .pied the preparation. We presume it is useless to protest .,ainst this shameless exploitatiou . the fears of the prospective moth- s of the country. But if magazines .ust have articles on this subject, '. them at least confine themselves i the facts. The article in the Cos .opolltan is cruel, sensational and a sgrace even to yellow journalism. OLD TIME BASEBALL' When the Athletic Averaged Thirty eight Runs a Game. The present Athletics are supposed to be the strongest attacking machine ever seut to the Held. Before awarding them the laurel suppose we turn to the Athletics of lStiO-1871. In excavating into the dope George Moreland has discovered that this old machine in its 405 match games aver aged 38.30 runs to the battle that it averaged fifty runs to the game uo less than eighty-nine times; that it piled up more than 100 runs on ten oc casions and that in its 405 champion ship g:imcs it scored 1D.353 to 6,34'J for Its opponents. The record of that club was 351 vic tories and 54 defeats. What we can't (jr.ite understand Is the fifty-four de fect part of it. But, Judging from these statistics, hitting the baseball Is something of n Philadelphia institution. The habit seems to hare become fixed.

Just outside the Syrian port of Trip oli, lying alongside the railway track, is a famous old fort, known as the Tower of the Lions, from the tradition that it was built by Richard the Lion Hearted of England. As a matter of fact, it Is one of six such forts built ;y the crusaders to protect the coast. only one other of which exists, and this one is in a poor condition. Now the Tower of Lions is to be demolished to make room for the railway, much to the discomfort of archaeologists, who would like to see this old tower pre served as a relic of antiquity.

A pretty story comes from France tif a contest in compliments between Miie. Sural) Ueruliurdt and Edmund Rostand, the poet. In which the Alfonse and (iaston stunt Is put to shame. Mme. Bernhardt telegraphed to a Paris uowspuper that she had entered suit against Rostand because a poster of a cincimitograpb peifoi iniince of his pl;iy "L'Aiglou" had been stuck up right o posite her Paris theater and would hurt her business. Mine. Sarah was most put out by the use of the title I.'Aigloti." which she claims belongs to her so far as concerns the stage. The brilliant author of "L'Alglon" seems to have been distressed at the anger which had been aroused against him in the bosom of the "divine Sarah," and he telegraphed her: "I know nothing about the case, but 1 would rather cut my haud off than engage a lawyer against Mine. Hern- hardt. No human force could make me defend myself against her. What ever she wishes Is right, and 1 grant her all the profits arising from films of my work. I kiss ber hand, gracious as a lily." This tribute from the poet evidently touched Mec. Bemrmrdt deeply, as It is stilted that he promptly wired to the Paris presa declaring her purpose to refuse to accept P.ostand's moving picture profits, which are estimated ut $40,(100. This is an interesting and signal In stance of a soft answer t.. ruing away wrath. Colombia Recoid. FRANCE MAY TAX DUELS. One of the New Deputies Has a Bril liant Scheme to Propose. One of the newly elected Parisian deputies says he Intends to propose in the French chamber the Imposition of a tax ou duels. His argument will be that duels are a form of advertise ment and as such are as liable to tax ation as posters and prospectuses. He suggests that duels shall be divided Into three classes third, second and Brst. In ascending order of taxable magnitude. For a third class duel, with the ordinary four seconds, a cou ple of general practitioners and a scratch In the forearm, the tux will be 50 francs. The proces-verbaux. or olB- cial accounts of the duel, must be written on paper stamped with a six penny stamp. For a second class duel, giving a right to decorated seconds that is. sec onds with orders In their button boles- hospital doctors and descriptive report ers, the tax will be 100 francs. There will be an additional charge of 2i francs per camera and 00 francs per cinematograph apparatus. Those who desire n first class duel must be prepared to .pay 2.000 francs-fSO- to the Bsc. But for that they are entitled to have umpires, a Jury of honor, a famous swordsman as direc tor of combat and a reconciliation on the Held of honor to the accompani ment of a brass band or stringed or chestra. The sanguine deputy esti mates that such a tax, loyally impos ed and exacted, will bring over 1. OoO.OOO a year to the exchequer-London Globe. Shot Dead by a Corpse. On the road between Aaran and Wild egg the body of a young Swiss, aged twentv. who had committed suicide by shooting himself through the head, was found by peasants, who nt once Informed the police, as it is prohibited by the Swiss law in such cases to touch a corpse. A gendarme named Bodmer arrived on the scene and found the young man still holding the revolver with his lifeless finger on the trigger. Hardly had the gendarme touched the hand of the corpse to re move the revolver when a shot was heard, and Bodmer fell mortally Injur ed, ne was found to have been shot through the alidomen and died In the hospital a few hours later.
