MM I No discovery of science is attracting as much attention now as liquid air. It is receiving as much attention from the . press as did the X rays. The time is u,.t far distant when with Inn"" air a house , will be cooled iu summer to the com fort of the occupants as it is heated to j suit them in winter. Besides, this won derful discovery, it is predicted, will render the tropics as inhabitable to the white race as the north temperate zone. Liquid air is seemingly destined to revolutionize the world. But liquid air is beginning to be used in medical and surgical science. In a recent number of the Medical Record Dr. A. Campbell While shows that liquid air possesses remarkable anaesthetic and specific powers, ami by a series of ex periments he proves that its advent in medicine and surgery will solve manj problems of long standing. "I am confirmed in my belief tiiill liquid air is a specific for neuralgia, ml atica ami such neurotic lesions, by exo-'-riments in which I have used the Muni and tested its results. In one case ! sciatica the patient was suffering intense pain the whole length of the leg. 'Ill physician, who had been using tin- or dinary cauterizing treatment to no ef fect, permitted the application of liquid air. This was done by dipping a swan in the fluid and touching the nerve at its spinal extremity. Instantly the pam left the leg. Other applications were made along the nerve to sure reli -f. and although a mouth has elapsed since the operation, there has been no recur rence of any trouble." Dr. White showed a culture tube in which a colony of the bacteria of diph theria had been planted in blood serum. He then told of an experiment which these bacilli had been put in capillary tubes with sealed ends and subjected to liquid air for an hour. At the end of the time the gernis appeared lifeless, but on being placed in an incubator anil brought back to a normal temperature they were as lively as ever. "It is impossible to kill germs by freezing," he went on to say, ' but this experiment reveal? a use or liquid nir which I believe will prove effectual in many cases of bacterial diseases. In the normal body there are germs of all kinds, but their virulence is met and ov erpowered by antitoxins which the sys tem produces to combat them. At times, however, because of lack of vital ity, the antagonists, and as a conse quence a man conies down' with typhoid, or diphtheria, or consumption. At such times an injection of foreign antitoxins into the blood often will sufficiently re-enforce the system and overcome the invading bacilli. This is the method em ployed at present. Now, the use of liquid air in such cases is based on the same hypothesis. When the fluid is ap plied to the part affected the bacteria are for the time being rendered inactive, and thus give the antitoxins of the sys tem an opportunity to rally and repair the breach." When asked in regard to the use of liquid air as an anaesthetic. Dr. White told of an experiment in which it was employed. "A boy had received a blank cartridge wound in the hand, and in order to per form rlie operation the part was fro'.-n by a spray of liquid air. Too much was applied, and at first the surgeon was no more able to cut the flesh than if it hud been so much stone. After a moment's waiting the knife cut in easily, inflicting ' no pain, the foreign particles were re moved and the wound carefully dressed. A few days later the boy returned. The ' hand had healed nicely, and was soon entirely Well. ' "There is no pain in the application," be continued, "except a slight tingling at the very beginning. If he part froa, n ' is surrounded by. healthy tissue it re - turns to its normal condition as soon as the cold is removed. It has not the Inebriating effects of such anaesthet ics as cocaine and ether, and where moisture is not present the freeing ne- er results in mortification."
