TRANSPLANTING ORGANS.
The members of the Internation
al Surgical Association agree with
Dr. Alexis Carrel that it is not yet
safe to transplant into human beings
organs from other animals. Organs
have been transplanted from one per
son to another, but they soon ceased
to functionate. When transplanted
from one part of a human body to
another part of the same body,how
ever, organs have continued to dis
charge their functions properly. Tis
sues also may continue to grow when
interchanged between individuals of
different species, as instanced in the
recent engrafting of a pig’s cornea
upon a human eye. Surgically, the
transplanting of organs is ."success
ful” to the extent that the techni
que for attaching them in their new
sites is perfected. The problem to
make them continue to functionate is
purely biological, and methods are
now being learned to prevent the or
ganism reacting against the tissue of
foreign organs.
The quest has been iiumui. ui.
James R. Murphy, working in the
Rockefeller Institute’s laboratories,
has found out why foreign tissue un
dergoes no injurious change if im
planted in the embryo of chicks, and
why it degenerates between the
eighteenth day of incubation and the
first day of life outside the shell. He
noted that the embrycf received the
foreign tissue with complete toler
ance, but suddenly a “refractory con
dition" supervened, quickly attaining
full destructive powers. It was the
development of parts in chicks and
rats, such as the spleen and bone
marrow, that signalized the destruct
ive action. When they were remov
ed or their action overcome by the
use of drugs or X-rays, the period
of toleration of the foreign tissue was
greatly lengthened.
It would he of high consequence to
surgery, of course, if the tissues and
organs of the lower animals could be
made serviceable in the bodily econ
omy of man. For it is the failure of
some organ, like the liver, kidney,
or heart, that often occasions death
when the rest of the body is in work
able condition. A revolution in sur
gical methods has already been ac
complished by the marvelous feats
of autoplasty, whereby the same or
gans have been returned to the body
from which they were taken, bones
transplanted from the leg to mend de
fects of the jaw or spine, and skin,
nerves, and tissue made to serve in
sites where repair was vital. The ad
vantage to be attained by using'live
material from animals for this pur
pose is great and obvious. Progres
sively, by methods which none but
the antivivisectionists decry, this es
sentially humanitarian work is be
ing done.—Ex.

MILLIONS SPENT IN
FIGHTING DISEASE
$29,OOO, OOO Expended In 1913
to Prevent Tuberculosis.
Washington.—The National Associa
tion For the Prevention and Study of
Tuberculosis has prepared a statement
showing that approximately $29,000,
000 was spent in this country last year
in the treatment of persons afflicted
with the disease and in the mainte
nance of preventive measures.
Treatment of tuberculosis patients in
the more than 500 sanitariums and
hospitals of the country and the con
struction of such institutions cost over
$1.8.000,000 of the total expenditures.
Care of patients in dispensaries and
open air schools cost about $825,000.
Anti-tuberculosis associations and com
mittees spent nearly $075,000, while
state and local boards of health and
special tuberculosis commissions spent
over $250,000.
More than $13,800,000. or 09,3 per
cent of tile total expedltures, came
from public funds. The percentage of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work has increased from 53.5 to near
ly 70 per cent since 1909.
New York state spent more money
in tuberculosis work than any other
two states.
MILITIA MUST TOE MARK.
No Federal Aid Unless State Troops
Meet Regular Army Rules.
Washington.—Tlio militia of the sev
eral states will have to conform to the
standards of tha regular army, so far
as organization is concerned, or forfeit
federal aid us provided under the Dick
law. This announcement was made
by the war department in a circular
Issued from the office of the chief of
staff.
The issuance of the circular resulted
from the failure of officers of the Mas
sachusetts state militia to conform
strictly to the standards of the regular
army in organization. Dpon orders
from the war department the officers
were instructed to turn into the adju
tant general of Massachusetts all gov
ernment property, such as rifles and
other pieces of ordnance.

CONGRESS FACES 15,000 BILLS
Expected That Many Thousands More
Will Be Introduced.
Washington.—The almost impossible
task that would confront congress
should it attempt to act upon all bills
that come before it is shown by rec
ords of the clerks’ offices of the houses
since April.
In the bouse the number of bills in
troduced has reached 11,268, while in
the senate they number 3.874.
Except a few that have been passed
all these bills are technically now be
fore congress.
Their number will be increased by
thousands. It is expected, before the
current session ends.
