THE SHOCK FACTOR IN DEATHS
Seeking Cause and Remedy RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS ENCOURAGING By Telegraph. Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received January 25. 7.10 p.m.) London, January 24. The “Daily Telegraph” says that the Royal College of Surgeons is engaged in seeking the cause of and remedy for shock which causes so many deaths following road, factory and other accidents though the actual bodily injuries are not necessarily fatal. The college is testing lumbar injections which, by an advancing series of injections, make a patient temporarily dead to the neck, leaving the brain untouched. The theory is that the treatment will enable a patient to tide over the first three days in which there is a tendency to collapse. Results of experiments are already encouraging.
