Physicians Have Success Curing Pneumonia With Electricity Now Current Pierce* Chest, Heat Breaks Up Lobar Type Infection Washington. — Lobar pneumonia, which causes thousands of deaths annually in this country, has been attacked with an encouraging de-' gree of success, the death rate from bronchial pneumonia greatly re duced. and marked success achieved in 'relieving the suffering from arthritis and cases of muacplar in flammation, according to staff phy sicians, by an electric treatment which has been worked out and ap plied with gratifying results at St. Elisabeth's hospital for the Insane, « government institution which Is headed by Dr. William A. White. The new treatment is an adapta tion and development of methods devised by physiotherapists and used to a limited extent in military Hospitals during the World war. It has been In use at St. Elisabeth's for the last 18 months, according to Dr. Herbert C. Woolley, first assis tant physician,, with the result that out of a total of approximately 200 lobar pneumonia cases, there have been very few deaths. In cases of bronchial pneumonia also the treatments, though less ef fective than with lobar pneumonia, are said to have been remarkably successful. The physicians at St. Elizabeth's,; Dr. Woolley- said, have been work ing on this electrical treatment for several years, but have said very little about it and even now are ad vancing no claims for it. other than Jor your Vacation COACH 45% FARES ** off — T» PO'"1' 1 •• “ #>« Mmww •'XI 5*’"' oi Si t *iM V>d A itv. d d** i»w round m, !»«• Richmond__$13.12 Norfolk . $15.73 Washington _ $16.88 Jacksonville_—- $18.58 Miami -. $33.06 St. Petersburg_$27.88 Any Seaboard Agent f '*,«v f -idw Mh'1 ."d W** f*"» M -od | Aufiat t> 4*v* >*iurp to**- «htWb V* , 4». , hfltt » *VW «• *•**« *»*«*» ****?'

Insist on Thedford a Pi | to state the facts based on theif own experience. i Current Passed Through Chest The treatment is not in general practice, although, according to Dr. Woolley, a few hospitals on the Pa cific Coast and in Tennessee are ’making use of it. A similar method has been used In the Lakeside hos pital at Cleveland by Dr. George W. ( Crile, who applied electrodes to cov er the liver and Ve lungs during serious surgical operations to pre vent the development of post-op erative pneumonia. The method, as described by Dr. Watson W. Eldredge of the hospital staff, is to pass through the chest a high-frequency alternating current at approximately 1,5110,000 alterna tions a second, using two large tin foil plates on the front and back. A voltage of about 70> is used. The object is to get heat inside the body. All other methods of , heat therapy consist of applying I heat; on the outside, which lias very [ little effect on the internal organs, it was explained. The patient feels no skin sensa tion, the two electrodes against the skin remaining cold. .The treatment is applied over a period or from 36 to 40 minutes, and thereafter repeated or discon Unued according to the reaction, of the patient and the seriousness of l the case The electrical heating method is used also, but not with shell notable success, in cases of muscular In flammation and in arthritis. The machine does hot raise the actual temperature of the* patient, but on ly of the local area which It Is de sired to affect. Kapici ( hits Krporira When a case of lobar pheumonia is treated within the first 12 hours the result, it is stated, is only a trifle short of specific that is, cure in every case. Lobar pneumonia Is the type which ordinarily, in five to 11 days, comes to a crisis, when five patient dies or begins to recover almost immediately, it has a very heavy death rate The. electrical heat treatment, according to Dr. Eldrcdge, almost at once breaks down the pneumonia process and ■stops the infection. Under the treat ment. the crisis comes within a few hours, and before the patient's strength- has been depicted by the illness, it was said. Practically the same thing hap pens with eases fust treated after more than 15 hours, but then the breaking down of the pneumonia process is slower. The crisis comes about the third day, instead of waiting, as is ordinaeilv the case, i until the fifth or 11th day. The beginning of lobar pneumonia is so striking, it was explained, that the greater perc'ent ige_ol cases are almost sure to be lp the hands of physicians within 12 hours. One moment the victim is perfectly we'l. Suddenly lie is seined by a chill lasting 20 minutes, after which a high fever develops. Thus the av erage person stricken realize* at the start that he is seriously ill and consults a doctor at once Considerable success has been at - tained in (he treatment of bronchial pneumonia, although leas sinking than with the lobar type, it wax said. This, it was explained, may be due to the fact that it Is more grad ual In its onset and mav continue for two or three days before the patinet realises that he is sick enough to require a physician. While the treatment cannot be de scribed as.a specific, so long as it does not produce exactly the same results—that Is. cures—in every sin gle case, it is about as near a spe cific as. possible without' actually being one, St. Elizabeth's physicians say. The results obtained here are expected eventuaSy to extend the method into general practice and possibly to make an enormous re duction in the death rate caused by one of the greatest scourges of the human race, Displeasing Talks Harry—Why did you quit working for Smith?

Go Trial Marriage Agreement to Separate In Two, Years Becomes. Scrap Taper When Son is Born Philadelphia, The ''experimenta 1 [marriage’' contract signed by Wil liam Kenneth Moyer, radical poet. !ahd the former Ethel Olyette Amelia O'en before Magistrate Ash er M.

Pa last, winter, .stipulating that either might seek a divorce without con sultirig the other unless a chiki was born to them within two years, has just been automatically voided. Arrival o! an eight-and-a-half pound son and heir in the Moyer household has made scrap paper of their unusual pre-nuptial agreement and provided justification for then mutual belief that parenthood Is the true keystone of marital con tentment and that there can be no real "marriage" without it. No! Vet Scrap Taper The contract between the 38 yea r-old father and ’26-year-old mother may be void, but perhaps it is gomg too (nr to call it scrap [paper.

If. at the end of two years, we have failed in our pur pose. it shall he the privilege of either one to apply tor an absolute divorce, without consulting the other.'’ Met in Arkansas The Moyers first met at a dance at Commonwealth college in Arkan sas and fell in love at sight Last year, while Moyer was wooing the muse in company with the Interna tional Rebel Poet's society In Chi cago. he also found time to woo Miss Oen. a lovely blond girl of Scandinavian descent, who was studying journalism at the Univer sity of Chicago. His courtship culminated In the marriage at Souderton, preceded by the signing of the pre-nuptial agreement. Pride in the advanced nature of their union has now given way *tn a more common brand of parental pride. Radical ideas are far from their thoughts at the moment. "Eight and a half pounds," gloat ed the father of the child upon Whose coming the continuance of his marriage was predicated, "and mother and child both doing well." No name lor the baby has not yet been dr ided upon. "Anyway,” said the father today with a proud smile, "we won't quar rel about that.” SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM ANNOUNCES Important Changes in Passenger Train Schedules Effective 12:01 A.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM T How Keeping Time Started And Modern Babylonyian Wise Men Started Time Division By Hours. Shadow Time Thr division of an hour into 60 minutes Is of ancient Bubylonic ori gin and has survived the reforms applied to notation in the course of the world's progress. Along with the decical system in ancient Baby lon there was the sexagesimal sys tem based upon the count by 60 and originating in the discovery that there is no number which has so many divisors as 60. It can be di vided without remainder by 2, 3, 4, 5. 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30. Babylonians divided the sun's path into 24 parasangs, the latter representing about four and one half miles. The astronomers of that day compared the progress of the sun during one hour to the pro gress made by a good walker during the same period of time, each ac complishing one parasang. / The whole course of the sUn was 24 parasangs, or 360 degrees, and each parasang or hour was sub-di vided Into 60 minutes. Hipparchus, the Greek philoso pher, who lived ISO B, CV, intro tluced the Babylonian hour into Eu rope. and. carried along by tradi tional knowledge down through the middle ages, it. survived the French revolution, which endeavored to re duce every measure to decimal sys tem or reckoning, so that the meas ure of time continues sexagesimal or Babylonian. Then came the telling oi time by the shadow of an embankment, something that was still, as the trees were moveable Then came tiie driving of a stake, and when the shadow was at a certain posi tion it was noon time, .the sundial, hour glass, the water clock, the weight clock, the clock with wooden wheels, the dock with brass works, then came the clock with springs, and on up to the present time when the electric docks are being used by thousands to keep correct time. : The hands that rule the world, are the hands of a elotk that is ac curate. Time is the next important factor to the weather, and every body wishes to maintain an accu I rate time piece.
