NEW CURE FOR LOCKJAW IS FOUND IN BALTIMORE BALTIMORE. July 17. The survival of Bernard Myeriy. nine years old, a victim of lockjaw resulting from a stonebruise, lias increased interest in the method of treatment used in the case by Dr. Pearce Kintzing. This is the ninth of a series of lockjaw cases in which Dr. Kintzing and his assistants at the Franklin Square hos pital have used a new plan of treatment with success. The remedy is a solution of phenol of 10 per cent strength, diluted to suit the cases and administered by hypodermic injections deep into the muscles. The in jections are made at Intervals of about three hours at the start, with longer in tervals as the patients rallied. The full adult dose used is equivalent to about one grain of pure crystalline phenol, ten drops of the 10 per cent solution. To avoid soreness, in some cases one-half of the solution diluted is injected and then the other half injected in another place. COURT HOLDS SURGEON MAY CUT AS HE WILLS TRENTON, N. J.. July 17.—That a sur geon instructed to perform a certain op eration upon a patient may exceed his in structions while the patient is under ether and operate more extensively than directed if he finds it necessary, is the gist of an opinion just rendered by Jus tice Garrison, of the supreme court.
