New Use of the Telephone

, -*. The war m South Africa hsa led to a> novel and singular use of the telephone m feurgeiy. The telephone makes possibla the oi»rtain Ibcatlfin of projectiles within the human body, and furthermore, en ables their removal with the least possible danger to tfce patient. I The description of a few eases which an Army surgeon treated with the application of the " telephone probe" serves bests to showthe great value of that instrument. A Mauser bullet had entered a soldier's back, pierced the stomach, and lodged right m front) of the latter. When breath ing deeply the patient suffered great pain, and it was found that the remrval to tne projecti'e offered great difficulty. As the operation pincers had to be ! employed, the telephone probe was I setf cted for that purpose, the special v ility of that instrument being based on the fact that when the pincer like ends of the probe close over a metal body a noise is heard m the telephone. The aurgeon soon got hold of what he thought was (he bullet, but; it- resisted hia attempts to draw it out His assistant, whn held the telephone, could hear no noise m it, and it was therefore clear that the bullet had not yet been reached. Then the picbe was pushed m further, the telephone gave its note of warning, and the removal of the pr< jee'ile was easily effected. If thi& new apparatus had not been employed the patient would probably have suffered severe internal i jury before the surgeon's discovery o* his mistake. *

ICE FACTORY WORK

ITS POSSIBLE DANGERS Mr Phillip Magnus, 87 Harmswcrth Street, ColSingwood (Vie) whose Urge knowledge of ice manufacture is rendered all the more valuable by his practical ex* perience, tells m a convincing way how dangerous this wcnk may he. Some time ?go, said he, my special duties at an be factory rendered it necessary for me to be daring working honrs, between two ice tanks, where the temperature was below freezing point. In the heat of the sum* mer my friends envied me, bat the dan* serous nature of my calling was visible ia its Injurious effects upon my health, which gradually became so undermined that I had to temporarily abandon my position. The cold brought on liver and kidney troubles, stomach disorders and indigestion 1 My appetite deserted me, and day by day my blood became thinner The pains due to the kidney troubles were agonising, and my constitution seemed to be breaking up. At last I was so weak and low that 1 could hardly hold my head up, and I almost thought the end had come. Several doctors who treated me said ray whole system was deranged, but despite every attention I did not recover. Then a friend brought me a box of Dp Williams' piak pills for pale people. To my great joy a slight improvement was noticeable after finishing the box. I then purchased a further supply*.and as I used it I found myself gradually regaining health and strength. Now my entire system is built upj kidney and H?er troubles aftVefc me no more; I have an excellent appetite and digea!) my food properly." . Doubtless Mr Magnus' illne* s was dne. primarily t> thin and Impute blood.
