Modern philosophy has #rom the lieart of man his dream Ris aspirations and his ideals, Rev. Ignatius Wiley Cox, 8. I. professor of logic at Fordham, declared in his baccalaureate sermon yesterday morning to the senfors of George- town University. “Man once had faith in the family ideal, and that faith is faltering,” he Baid. “Women once had hope in chil- | dren, and that hope is being blight- ed. Men and women once belleved and hoped in holy overlasting love, and license is bemng worshiped in its stead.” “Worla Hntes Georgetown Code. The teachings of modern philoso- Phy, Dr. Cox stressed, are “filling the air with vile propaganda. Men Georgetown,” he admonished, “you ®o forth to a world that hates the triple code of Georgetown as bitterly @8 the soviet hates Christianity.” Do you know that your code of conduct, your code of philosophy, your <ode of religion is contrary to the code of the world?” he asked. “Georgetown has taught you this code and the world teaches the contrary.” Which you .choose, Georget or wil o Georgetown or the Europe is damned today because it has lost practical faith in & Christian code of conduct, in a_Christian philos- ophy of life and Christian- religion eode,” Dr. Cox said.

Is it the story of Joffre at the first Marne or of Foch at the second? Or the story “They shall not pass” at Verdun? S A&l Or of the Zeebrugge Expedition? Or is 1t the story of Sergeant York or of the lost Battalion? These are all great stories of achievement over insurmountable obstacles for the glory of one’s country. And yet there is a greater war story than any of these. It is the story of a victory over terrific odds; a story which judged from the benefit it brought to all mankind relegates other stories to positions of lesser importance. It is the story of the “Little Surgeon”. They called him “Little Surgeon” for the same reason that they called Napoleon, that other colossus, “Little Corporal”, EFORE the war thé “Littlé Surgeon” had been working away in the laboratories of a famous institute for medical research in New York City. Experimenting on cells and tissues, with microbes and guinea pigs, he was making one discovery after another and presenting them to the scientific world. In 1912 he received the Nobel Prize for Medi- cine as hawving made the greatest contribution of the year to the benefit of mankind. And then the Great War came! The “Little Surgeon” left his laboratory, his microbes and guinea pigs and went over to do his bit. Science Was Confident Medical science in 1914 entered the war with a confident smile on its lips. Medical men had accepted the long disputed theories—knew all about bacteria. They had every little bug catalogued and classified. They knew his hab- its and his methods. They knew that so long as cleanliness prevailed no microbe could get in. Every hospital was immaculate, not a germ anywhere. Having fully applied their ounce of prevention they announced: “Bring on your wounded, there will be no infection in this war!” And oh what a grim disillusionment was theirs! The wounded came in untold numbers. Never in the history of warfare had there been so many, or such wounds. Though the hospitals and first-aid stations were indeed sterilized and aseptic, the same could not be said for the cut and torn soldier. For weeks he had been tramping over a terrain long known as the world’s battle ground. For centuries the germs of former wars had been lurking there, ready to fasten on the prostrate soldier of the next war. The soldiers had been inoculated against most of the germs that they were likely to swallow and so long as they kept whole they were comparatively safe from microbic attack. But let the soldier’s skin be broken and the horror of infection burst upon him in a pesti- lential fury. A simple scratch from a barbed wire barricade in the morning developed into a pus pocket by evening, a blood-poisoning fever in another day, and amputation or death within a week. A bullet or shell fragment or bayonet thrust would gather some tetanus germ or gas gang- rene bacteria or other dread microbes as it passed through the clothing of the soldier and would deposit them deep in the vital parts of his body—there to multiply and breed gallop- ing putrefactions while he lay on the field or in a shell hole waiting to be picked up by the litter bearers. The surgeons were quite right.” There could be no infection from within the hospital; medi- cal science had taken care of that, but the wounded soldier had become infected at the wery instant of his injury. Poisonous germs had eaten well into him long before he could be brought to their aseptic havens. They had provided the ounce of prevention but had not even the fraction of an ounce of cure. The Surgeons’ Problem The surgeons turned to antiseptics. They found little or no help from what they had or inew about. Medical science had two types of antiseptics. One was the mild, non-poison- " ous type, rather an aseptic than an antisep- tic; that is, it was a weak and questionable preventive. All it did was to make the surface of the wound an n’m.":m":ifl:: place f:: the wandering microbe. if the micro had already started raising his myriad family would alse destroy flesh and tissue. Its use was merely the substitution of a devouring chemical for a devouring bug. It was im- possible to introduce these tissue-corroding poisons into gaping wounds. If used in suf- ficient strength to destroy germs they would also eat through the flesh, membranes and tissues, destroying vital cells and organs, and creating other complications that were as bad if not worse than the infection itself. In per- missible dilutions these poisons became un- dependable and ineffective. Surgeons Were Helpless The army surgeons were in despair. If it was a wounded limb all they could do to stop the infection was to amputate. If it was an abdominal wound, death provided the only relief from the agony of infection. The medical staffs of all the armies were urged to find something that would control this fearful enemy. Someone remembered the “Little Surgeon” and he among others was asked to solve the problem. One can imagine the scene: “Can nothing be done to stop this pestilence? Can not science find a way?” and the little surgeon answering just as the prophet of his craft, Pasteur, would have answered, “To science nothing is impossible, mais il faut travailler, (but we must work)”. So the “Little Surgeon” went to work. The twelve great labors of Hercules are trivial in comparison. He solicited the help of the in- stitution with which he had been asscciated. That institution responded to his call with generous endowments of money, equipment and assistants. The problem required pains- taking experimentation in two distinct branches of science: bacteriology and chemistry. He therefore selected as a co-worker a certain world famous English chemist, who was an outstanding authority in the field of antiseptics. The “Little Surgeon” brought out his micro- scopes and guinea pigs and went back to his microbes, cells and tissues. The English chem- ist_took up the task of searching the whole realm of chemistry to find a chemical or com- bination of chemicals that they could adapt to create the ideal antiseptic. “We must find something,” they said, “that we can introduce into the most tender wound without harm to it, and which will at the same time kill every microbe in its innermost corners.” Side by side the “Little Surgeon” and the chemist worked; night and day for every hour was precious. Every available chemical was applied to every known microbe that had shown jtself in the war hospitals. They tried thous- ands and thousands of combinations. b And then at last the miracle came! Surely a miracle—~for only by divine indication could they have come upon such a result. In an incredibly short time the “Little Surgeon” and the chemist announced to their commanders and to the world, “We have a solution and a method of application that will rid our hos- pitals and our wounded of this dreaded plague of infection—try it and see.” Surgery Revolutionized Thé army surgeons tried it and saw. They saw that previous surgical methods were revo- lutionized. Here was a real antiseptic at last that could be used constantly in the deepest wounds, that would destroy germs quickly, yet left flesh and tissues healthy and un- harmed. They called the new antiseptic the Carrel-Dakin solution, after its co-discoverers, and put it to work in all the Allied hospitals. Immediately the percentage of amputations and deaths dropped to an unheard of sub- normal minimum. Where before seventy per cent of the wounded had been dying from in- fection—now less than ohe per cent died from that cause. Thousands upon thousands who walk the world to-day uncrippled, unafraid, owe lives or limbs to the wizardry of the “Little Surgeon” and his co-worker, the chem- ist. Is there a greater war story than this? Is there anywhere in the archives of history or in the folios of fable the recountment of a con- quest over so numerous and overpowering an enemy? Ask any veteran of the World War who was hospitalized after the discovery of the Carrel-Dakin solution and he will tell you what was the greatest single accomplishe ment in the war. SEQUEL ‘And now how can the world Best profit by the biggest single asset of the war? Can this powerful but non-poisonous antiseptic be placed in the home ready for instant use? Until recently it could not, for the following reason: The Carrel-Dakin Solution is unstable; in other words, it will not “keep.” It must be freshly made just before using and the prepar- ation of it is both delicate and complicated. This means that its use is restricted to hos- pitals, where it can be prepared each day by laboratory method. & Since its discovery, however, seven years ago, chemists in all parts of the world have been experimenting earnestly in an effort to stabilize the Carrel-Dal Solution, and Ameri- can chemists have at last succeeded in doing so. This means that Zonite as the new preparation is called, will keep indefinitely and can be put up in comparatively small con- tainers ready for immediate use. The result is thi Every household in the world can be guarded against infection and contagion by an antiseptic that is not only harmless and non- poisonous but when subjected to official tests shows greater germicidal strength than pure carbolic acid. The days of poisons in the home are past. Carbolic acid, bichloride of mercury, all deadly things ‘of the. sort, must _go.. ,Zonite will do much more than- any .of them without amy of their attendant dangers. In discussing the mew antiseptic when ap- plied to household use, a leading New York physician and surgeon has recently said: “In a stable Carrel-Dakin you approach the ideal antiseptic; lack of causticity coupled with germicidal power. These characteristics make it available and effective in many new measures of preventive medicine not possible with other forms of antiseptics heretofore general use. There are many reasons for believing that the general household use of Zonite will be of immeasurable value. The mere fact that it is non-poisonous is enough to assure the saving of many lives through accidental poisoning.” Zonite is being placed on sale ! at all drug- gists as rapidly as possible. It is a colorless liquid that does not stain and leaves no odor. It is absolutely non-poisonous and non-irritating. It may be used frequently on the most delicate membrane and tissues with mo harmful effect whatever. It may be heavily diluted with water and still maintain high germicidal efficie ZONITE PRODUCTS COMPANY 342 Madison Ave. New York City Fd tell b to do exactly as ghe pleases.” S———x =~ — s+ e X L = can never get my wifa to act upon any of my suggestions Buggins—“Maybe you don't go ahou It in"the right Way.
