THE OREGONIAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE: DIRECTED BY PROF-SEYMOUR EATON COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF TWO CENTURIES BT OSCAR H. ALLIS. VII. In an attempt to trace the advance made in surgery through a period of 100 years it will be assumed that the general reader Is unfamiliar with the work al ready accomplished at the beginning of the century, and therefore at the outset it will be necessary to review briefly the achievements of earlier times. No por tion of history is more closely identified with religion than that of medicine, and as the priestly office exerted a dominant influence the latter was permitted to take no steps for Its advancement that had not the sanction of the prevailing relig ion. Hence the early progress of medi cine was slow slow, up to the time of Galen and then it stopped and stood still lor 32 centuries, light, however, at last broke through the dense fog in the 26th century; a century memorable for the lives of Copernicus and Vesalius. The former put the earth in motion and gave laws to the planets and overthrew the Ptolemaic philosophy that had op pressed the world for 20 centuries the latter created a new world by revealing to man a knowledge of himself, and thus broke the Galenic spell that had held unbroken sway for 1200 years. Vesalius In the year 1543, at the age of 2S, brought out his work on human anatomy and thus laid the foundation for rational med icine and surgery. From him we learn that Galen's nearest approximation to a knowledge of human anatomy was through his dissection of apes. The works of Vesalius, made available by "the inventions of printing and engraving, soon became accessible to students in all parts of the world and gave additional fame to the already renowned "University of Padua, in which Vesalius was a pro fessor. It was here That . lam Har vey, a pupil of Fauricius, caught his in spiration for the study of. the circula tion of the blood, which finally resulted in a discovery that has been of incalcu lable benefit to man and has placed the name of Harvey among the immortals. And now an impetus was to be given to the practice of surgery from a wholly unlooked-for quarter, for who would have thought that the invention of gunpowder would be instrumental in bringing about one of the greatest advances in surgery? It occurred in the following manner. The advantage of firearms over the ear lier modes of warfare was readily appar ent, but the wounds produced by the leaden ball were Immeasurably more dis astrous than those from the sword, spear and arrow. The natural inference was that the swelling and fatality due to bullet wounds were owing to the lead, and to counteract this poison boiling oil was poured into and along the track of the wound This was no new treatment, for the efficiency of boiling oil and the cautery in stanching blood had long been the authorized practice. So well-founded was this procedure that Ambrose Pare at the close of a day among the wound ed in battle, finding that his stock of oil had failed and that he was obliged to dross some wounds without it, could not sleep from sheer anxiety, and when on the following day he found that the wounds that had not been subjected to the boiling oil were looking better than those treated by the established plan his astonishment was very great. It was in deed fortunate that this exigency fell to the lot of so earnest, tnoughtful and courageous a man, for it led to the abandonment of the cautery in bleeding wounds and to the substitution therefor of the ligature. To those who have be come accustomed to seeing a ligature ap plied to a bleeding artery .-.is may not appeal as a notably courageous act; but when It is considered that he made the venture alone and against the seined practice of the profession, against it may be the positive protests of his profes sional brethren, and under me conscious ness of the fact that n the ligature failed to control the hemorrhage and the pa tient's life was lost his own mign.. pay the forfeit, his act becomes one of tne vio-t heroic of hlstorj deed, that it succeeded, for had it failed relief from the torture of the burning oil might hav- oern ! c.nitelv post poned. Truly this formed an epoch in surgery. It gave to that branch of the healing art an uplift that placed it at once beyond the asplracon Oa the igno- of the reigning powers, and under the genius of Larrey soon carried operative burgery to the limits of human skill. The beginning of the present century found the surgeon in possession of the perfected tourniquet of Petit, the ligation of arteries, immediate approximation of wounds bv suture and carpful dressing of the cut surfaces, chartered medical colleges, able corps of professors, well equipped hospitals, where the students had ex'ery facility for the study of all branches of the healing art, libraries furnished with the best medical thought of the ages, with periodicals from all parts of the world and a course of study that rix'alod that of any of the learned professions, and were I called upon to reproduce the valedictory of a professor of surgery to his class at the clos-e of the last century I would put words like the following in his mouth "Gentlemen, I congratulate you that you are going forth into no new field of ac tion Surgery today rests upon well-tried and established laws, its triumphs chal lenpe the admiration of the world, and it is questionable whether the surgeon of coming days will do more than repeat the surgery of the present. Finer instru ments will no doubt be made, more In genious appliances, and new operations cevised, but the science and art of our noble profession in our day will scarcely be eclipsed in the future progress of the world ' Would such a speech seem pre posterous' Put these words to the test and examine them by the 'light of the medical history of recent wars. In the battles of Xapoleon the same general appliances and rules of procedure pre vailed that were employed in the Amer ican Revolution, and these were scarcely improved upon in the late war between the states. In every campaign mothers and sisters at home nave picked lint, wound bandages And sent old. worn-out handkerchiefs and garments for dress ings to the wounded. The surgeons un der Grant and lee amputated as they did under Napoleon and "Washington tied the arteries and brought the liga tures out of the wound and in their re ports stated the day when the ligatures came away. In glancing over the surgical progress of the century, if every modification or im provement In instrument, appliance, tech nique, were to be mentioned it would re quired library. Thousands of devices are now employed by the surgeon that con tribute to the welfare of the afflicted whose Inventors will never be remem bered Of the memorable discoveries that have advanced surgery during the century that of anaesthetics stands first without a rival The necessary mitigation of the agonies of a surgical operation had been attained In a moderate degree by means of drtrgs, such as opium and alcoholic preparations, but no one ever imagined tb&t it would be possible for a sufferer to be rendered insensible to pain by the in halation of a vapor, and to awaken there from as from a dream. Such a discov ery in the middle of the present century eoon spread throughout the entire world and gave an impetus to surgery that was destined to result in its taking the high est laurels in the gift of man. Under the inspiration of the new discovery surgical teaching became not simply a possibil ity, but a most attractive reality. Medical colleges and hospitals multiplied, and L would be no fissPSTaripn 1 iVt j more medical colleges have sprung up within the last 50 years in the United States than existed prior to that date throughout the entire world. One of the notable effects of anaesthetics is that it completely relaxes ihe muscular system. Prior to their introduction the patient with a dislocated thigh was first bled almost to fainting, then still further re laxed by emetics, and finally subjected to the compound pulleys. Now the sur geon, with his patient relaxed by an anaesthetic, accomplishes with unaided manual skill in a few seconds that which often took hours to accomplish before its discovery. Anaesthetics have removed hurry and precipitancy from surgical pro cedure. Formerly it was of the highest importance to the -surgeon to minimize the moments of torture from the knife. Hence the bystander often took out his watch to count the seconds required in the removal of a limb. Anaesthetics have added to surgical exploratlorjs and opera tions a sense of dignity, composure and cautiousness in procedure that was wholly unknown to surgeons of an earlier date. A quarter of a century ago a dis tinguished surgeon remarked to a by standei' 'What would the surgeons of a former generation say if they could see the work that we are now doing?" I have often thought of that remark. Would Larrey wonder at the skill of his amputations or Fergusson at his work upon the lips and mouth or Chesselden at his collection of vesical calculi? No, but that which would have surprised them would be that a spell could be thrown over the sufferer and during an unconscious sleep the surgeon could de liberately perform his work. Truly anaes thetics must stand alone as a boon to suffering humanity, and in the coming ages history will treasure few discoveries more memorable than that which renders glorious the middle of the present cen tury. Another matter worthy of record is the rendering of a part bloodless befoi-o an operation and keeping it so for an hour or more, during which the operation can be performed without the loss of blood or the obscuration of the field of action by its flow. This contribution by Esmarch consisted In applying an elastic bandage to the extremity of a limb and gradually enveloping it. Finally an elastic belt or tube was wound around the limb near its junction with the body, when the bandage was removed and the limb found to be bloodless. Such a help when search ing for a bullet or needle was very great. Still another contribution to the glory of the century is that of Roentgen in rendering all parts of the human body luminous when subjected to the X-ray. This at first had an exaggerated and greatly overestimated position in medicine and surgery. Its value, were it merely to locate foreign bodies in the brain, eye and elsewhere, would be incalculable. Its possibilities in throwing light upon in ternal medicine the future must decide. A quarter of a century has passed since the illustrious surgeon asked the ques tion above referred to, and were he to come back and revisit the scene of his former activities that which would aston ish him most would be that the volumes upon surgery that represented his life work and which he believed to be im mortal had within a few short years fol lowed him to the grave. The works of Galen outlived their author for 12 cen turies, but of the standard works on sur gery that were up to date a quarter of a century ago not one, as it then existed, could be given away today. What a marvel The literary monuments of a lifetime swept away almost in a moment as by the devastating fire of the prairie! Twenty-five years are not far to go back, and recall as it were yesterday surgical clinics that possibly rivaled any in the known world. Small wonder that the surgeon's breast dilated with pride as he entered the amphitheater to re ceive the homage of 500 admiring stu dents' Small wonder that he felt, "What would the surgeons of a former genera tion think if they could see what we are doing?" The patient who has sought the advantages of the clinic is a young man with enlarged glands of the neck. The surgeon feels the glands and the pa tient is then conducted around the clini cal inclosure to permit the score or more of students within reach to handle the neck for themselves. This over, and while the patient Is taking the anaesthetic, the surgeon describes the nature and treat ment proper'for such conditions. Once the patient is unconscious the surgeon begins. With the first incision blood flows, but this is wiped away by means of sponges. Does nn artery spirt it Is caught and tied. Finally the tumors are removed and down deep in the wound the physician who brought the case to the clinic is asked to put his finger and feel the deep pulsating artery And the result? Pus and this is shown to the class at the following clinic as the much hoped-for result, but It never once occurred to any one present that contamination could oc cur from that score of student hands or from sponges that had been used for months, it may be, and that, too. on every variety of case, or from ligatures that had hung for weeks In the dust. No; so deeply Impressed were the surgeons then with the Importance of recognizing the efficacy of laudable pus that when none was to be shown in the clinic it was obtained from a neighboring hospital, to illustrate a lecture. I have spoken of the military surgery at the time of Napoleon and said that it would comparo favorably with that in our own war between the states, but how about our late war with Spain? Does any one recall a request from The surgeon in the field for scraped lint? What, it may be asked, placed all the or ders for surgical dressing In the hands of a few large concerns, and that, too, at great expense, when it would have been provided by loyal mothers and sis ters for asking' The answer to this and similar questions that pertain to modern surgical methods introduces the crowning discovery of the century viz , the source and nature of wound infection. It has remulin-a for the last quarter of the century to demonstrate that floating in the air we breathe, lodged upon and in the -wviw,es of the skin, upon the clothing and everything about us is life, plant or animal, of microscopic dimen sions which, under the favoring Influence" of warmth, moisture and congenial nour ishment, mu'iiplles with a rapidity that baffles human conception. The study -jC these micro-organisms, their source, un der what conditions they thrive, -the ex act nature of their food, how they can be excluded trom wounds, how they can be uesnoyr-d. how, when they have en tered a wound, their Influence can be minimized or .'.iFpellod. are the problems that crowded close upon their discovery. This discovery and Its developments has revolutionized medical education, the student now begins his course In the laboratory and with the microscope; it has revolutionized surgical instruments, operating rooms, surgical dressings and the technique of every surgical opera tion It has created a department wholly unknown a quarter of a century age viz., schools for the training of nurses and were the surgeons of a former gen eratlon to visit us now it Is hard to tell whether the anaesthtlc. the X-ray or the retinue of trained nurses with the elab orate surgical technique would astonish them most. But the discovery of pus-producing or ganisms has done something more; it has created a science. Writers of surgi cal works have hitherto entitled their books "The Science and Art of Surgery," "The Principles of Surgery," etc. etc., but never before the present quarter of a century was there anything in the pathology or treatment of surgical ma ladies that was worthy the name science. The "art of sunrery" has in every age 1 f i-S'- -& f' r!;s of tfcp tJnjeg and subsidized every expedient that could benefit the sufferer. NoEtso with the so-called "science." Its teachings have varied from age to age, from year to year. No two authors thought, taught or practiced alike, and In the babble of the schools "science" blushed and held down her head. Not bo today. The "science of surgery" has ascended her throne and sways a scepter more abso lute than the Caesars'. A little over a quarter of a century ago a renowned surgeon, standing by the bedside of ft patient whose malady was obscure, re marked: 'Td give $KX if I dare cut into that abdomen." Had he dona so that patient would have died;, had he done so it would have been manslaught er. Today it would be deemed man slaughter to let such a case perish, without relief- Glorious nineteenth cen tury, the past will ever pay thee hom age! Will the future produce thy peer? Philadelphia. .

Wlmaer Sold la the Auction Pools at $300 to $20 Against the Field. COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 2. The free-for-all trot for stallions was the principal ovent on the card today, and It attracted a crowd of fully 8000 people. The weather was fair and the track fast. There'were four starters in the big trot, Croesus, Gratton Boy, Charley Herr and .Dare Devit Croesus sold In the auction pools at $200 to $20 against the field, and, with Croesus barred, Dare Devil was sold even with the field. In the first heaA, Dare Devil threw a shoe before he reached the first quarter and was distanced. Gratton Boy hd& a bad start, and Croesus won the heat easily In 2:07. In the second heat, how ever, Gratton Boy gave Croesu3 a sharp brush In the last quarter, and forced Ketcham to drive the chestnut horee out. The last quarter was made in0:31, and the mile in 2:06 flat. In the third, Grat ton Boy forced Croesus to the quarter in 0:31 and to the half in 1:01, and it looked as If all trotting records were about to be smashed, but the pace had been too hot for Gratton Boy, and he weakened per ceptibly. "Croesus went under the wire In a drive, however, making the mile in 2:05 flat. These are the three fastest heats ever trotted by a stallibn In a race. Pussy Willow was almost a prohibitive favorite in the 2:22 pace, ahd won easily. There were seven' starters in the 2:24 pace. It was practically the same field that started in the M. & M. stake at Detroit, Including Lady Geraldine, the winner of that event. Helen Simmons sold favorite in the auction pools, but Lady Gerladlne was backed heavily. The favorite took the first heat, but broke badly in the second, and that went to Lady Gerladlne. Helen Simmons showed lame, when she scored for the third heat, and many of her backers hedged, but the lameness did not seem to have any ap parent effect on her speed, and she won the third and fourth heats and the race. The results were: 2:22 class pace, purse $2000 Pussy Wil low won second, third and fourth heats; time, 2:12, 2:13, 2:13. Corbett won first heat in 2:11 and was second; Hugely third. Mt.

The Northern Pacific has a novel method of destroying weeds along Its track. It is a machine known as a "weed burner," consisting of several tanks containing gasoline, which are placed upon an ordinary flat car, and with additional tanks and pipes connected with a heavy iron frame in front of the :ar, much like the pikit on an engine, except that it is wider, extending clear across the track to the ends of the ties. In this frame are many pipes, holes and valves, through which the burning gas 13 forced. This generates an intense heat and as the machine is pushed slowly along in front of a train it scorches and kills all weeds between the rails and on either side as far as the ends of the ties.

A Yakima correspondent reports that the "Yakima Valley will harvest fully 200, 000 tons of alfalfa hay this Summer. The product brings $4 per ton in the stack, and $6 per ton, baled, on board the cars. If these prices hold up, the Yakima Val ley will receive more than $1,000,000 this year from that single product, not to speak of Its Income from sales of fruit, hops, livestock, dairy products, grain and other farm products. Many farmers in the Yakima country will receive this year an income of $40 per acre from their alfalfa crop. The yield runs from 8 to 10 tons per acre, and the average Is said to be about nine tons. That comes pretty close to bonanza farming. Perhaps these values for alfalfa hay will not be maintained, but the farmer there has al ways the opportunity, when he can not ship his hay at a satisfactory profit, to feed It to dairy herds and livestock. In a few years the Yakima country alone ought to be able to supply the entire state with butter. "What Is Her Name? Walla Walla Statesman.
