Wonder what's going happen
next. Science is playing smash.
Early in March n surgeon stood with
the beating heart of a live man held
in his hand, lie took in
the organ, put it back in the right
place, and the mad lived on. The
operation was one of a series of
marvels of the last two or three
years through which the heart has
ceased to be the one part of the body
sacred from the daring knife and
needle. And now there is news of
the heart, massage. The vital or-
is exposed and subjected to gen-
manipulations which restore its
beating. So life returns to persons
who have seemed to die. Nor do
the newest marvels of surgery stop
with operations upon tho heart.
Within a week there has been an-
at a Philadelphia hospital
the miracle of splicing nerves. An
interrupted telegraphic circuit of
the body was remedied, just as a
Western Union line is restored to
service by the piecing of two wires.
The world moves on, and tho doc-
tors with it. The one point
for science to go is to demonstrate
