ADVANCE IN SURGERY
MOW IT DIFFERS NOW FROM WHAT IT
WAS FIFTY YEARS AGO.
The Horror of the Knife V>> to the Dis
covery of Anxr-kotUa—Danger as Well
aa Pain In the Operation -I'lret Use of
Ether by Dr. William T. G. Alorton.
One of the most i merest lug paper*
read nt the celebration in Boston of the
fiftieth anniversary of the first adminis
tration of ether in a surgical operation,
says the Philadelphia Record, was that
by Dr. John Ashhurst of this city ot.
“Surgery Before the Days of Anoesthet
ics. ” It vividly recalls the horrors o!
those days when the surgeon’s knifo wat
an object of far greater terror than now
and inflicted untold tortures upon the
conscious patient.
“A study of the condition of surgery
before the days of aiMOSthcsia,” said Dr.
Ashhurst, “reveals on the one hand a
picture of heroic boldness and masterly
self control on thO part of the surgeon,
and on the other a ghastly panorama,
sometimes of stoic ffiriitude and endur
ance, sometimes of abject terror and hu
miliation—but always of agonizing
wretchedness and pain—on the part of
tl:e unhappy victim who required the
surgeon’s aid.
“The ‘pitilessness’ which Ceicns urged
as an essential trait in the operative sur
geon was, before the days of anaesthesia,
a feature in the surgeon’s career which
impressed very strongly the public gen
erally as well as those immediately con
nected with the operation. It is inter
c.'.'.rp io recall that Sir James Simpson
ct Edinburgh, shortly after beginning
his professional studies, -was so affected
by ‘seeing the terrible agony of a poor
Highland woman under amputation of
the breast’ that he resolved to abandon
a medical career and seek other occupa
tion. Happily his intention was recon
sidered, ani. he returned to his studies,
; king himself, ‘Can anything be done
to make operations less painful?’ and,
as every one knows, in loss than 90
years lie became a high priest of anaes
thesia and the introducer into surgical
and obstetrical practice cf ether's great
rival, chloroform.
“No braver or more gallant gentle
man ever lived than Admiral Viscount
NJsoi), and after bis right elbow had
been shattered by a French bullet in the
assault at Tenerife he manifested the
uni c t courage, refusing to lie taken to
Ihe nearest ship left the sight of Lis in
jnrv should ali.r n the wife of a fellow
c.l" ,:r whose own fate was uncertain,
and when his own chip was reached he
slit;tied up its side without assistance,
saying: ‘Tell the surgeon tomake haste
«ud get his instruments. I know I must
lose my right arm, so the sooner it. is elf
the better.’ ‘He underwent the amputa
tion, ’ we learn from a private letter of
eno of his midshipmen, ‘with the same
firmness and courage that have always
marked 1/c character. ’ And yet so pain
fully was I. effected by the eoldmss of
she operate: s knife that when nest go
ing into action at the famous battle of
the Nile he gave standing orders to bis
surgeons t...:. hot water should always
be kept in readiness.during an engage
ment, so that if another operation should
bo required he might at least have the
poor comfort of being cut with warm
instruments.
“On the side of the surgeon we fin 1
throughout the ages a constant effort to
diminish the terrors of operations and a
continuous reprobation of tiie distress
ful, not to say cruel, modes of prac
tice adopted by preceding generations.
And yet the time is not very far distant
from ours when they lopped off a limb
by striking it violently with a heavy
knife; that time when they knew nei
ther how to stop nor how to prevent
hemorrhage but by burning the part
whence the blood jetted with boiling oil
or the redhet iron; that time when sur
geons armed themselves at every mo
ment with pinchers, with burning cau
teries and with instruments the repre
sentations even of which cause terror.
“But the presence of pain was not the
only evil dreaded by our predecessors in
attempting important operations. The
great risk of fatal accident from some in
voluntary movement of the patient was
constantly present to the mind of the
conscientious surgeon. ‘How often, ’ says
Dr. Valentine Mott, ‘when operating in
some deep, dark wound, along the course
cf some great vein, with thin walls al
ternately distended and flaccid with the
vital current—how often have I dreaded

Rings on Her Fingers
and Bells on Her Toes.
Every one remembers the
eld nursery rhyme that goes th it way.
Women nowadays do not wear bells on
their toes, but tbev do wear rings on
their fingers and ears, and we have the
finest line of rings of every description
that money can procure. Wedding
rings-, engagement rings, mourning
rings, souvenir rings and everyday
rings. Rings with diamonds and pearls
and rubies and sapphires and every
known gem. All sizes and prices. Come
and look at the beauties.

tnat some uuiortunate struggle or tne
patient would deviate the knife a little
from iti proper course and that I, who
fain would be the deliverer, should in
voluntarily become the executioner, see
ing my patient perish in my hands by
the most appalling form of death! Had
he been insensible I should have felt no
alarm. ’
“Coming down to the days more im
mediately preceding the date of the
great discovery, we find that opium and
alcohol were the only agents which con
tinued to be regarded as of practical
value in diminishing the pain of opera
tions, though the attendant disadvan
tages of their employment were of course
recognized. Meanwhile facts were accu
mulating the significance of which we
now plainly recognize, but which ex
cited no attention.
“Sir Humphry Davy, in the early
days of the nineteenth century, suggest
ed the use of nitrous oxide gas as an
anaesthetic in minor operations, and it
was the custom at some of our medical
schools—at the University of Pennsyl
vania, for one—for students to breathe
‘laughing gas,’as it was then called,
for diversion. Ift yet—and yet—sur
geons'Went on, in every country, cutting
and burning, and patients went on
writhing and screaming, until on the
16th day cf October, in the year 1845,
in the Massachusetts General hospital,
Dr. John C. Warren painlessly removed
a tumor from a man who had previously
been etherized by Dr. William T. G.
Morton, and surgical anaesthesia be
came the priceless heritage of the civi
lized world.”
NINE MONTHS IN BSD. CURED
24 HOURS.
T, J. Blackmore, of Haller & Blackmore
Pittsburg, Pa., says: “A short time since I
procured a bottle of “Mystic Cure.” It got
me out of the house in twenty-four hours.
I took to my bed with Rheumatism nine
months ago aud the “Mystic Cure” is the
only medicine that did any good. I had
five of the best physicians in the city, but
received very little relie. irom them. I
ktio-v that Mystic Cure to be what it is rep
resented and take pleasure n racomending
it to ether sufferers.”
