PATIENTS TALK DURING OPERATIONS.

j One of the most important surgical i discoveries resulting from the v/af j has just been made by Dr. 'Le Filatrc, 1 who has suecodcd in developing a new anaesthetic that! enables every not•sible kind of operation to be performed not only without pain but without necessitating the patient being placed in an unconscious condition. His discovery is the result of three years 7 experience on the French front and in Macedonia, where he and his coD leagues performed over two thousand operations in cases where it waa impossible to remove the patients.. The method ’’ told the Morning Post correspondent) ''is extremely simple, certain and inoffensive. No shocks are felt by the patient either from the operation itself or from the (anaesthetic. Oompiot'p anaesthesia of the lower' part -of the body is almost instahtailCous/'hnd that of tho trunk, the upper limb*** and the head is obtained a few moments later. The new method is Especially valuable for operations on the abdomen and in the case of elderly pcbple.' While he is operating the surgeon may converse with: the patient, who feels absolutely nothing. ”
