Dr. William Stevenson Bae of John Hopkins University, chief surgeon of the orthopedic section of the Amerisan expeditionary forces during the World War, last night made public extraor- dinary results in the cure of bone diseases by the application of live maggots. At a special session of the House veterans committee, Dr. Baer reported that the treatment, an outgrowth of h battlefield experiences, and con: simply of placing live sntfer i~ aots to freed on inflammation of bone and NIATTOW OSLEOMYeIILS, WaS Tepuis The report pointed to the merger of | [l Borsalinos at .

[l having proven completely successful in 200 cases over a period of two years. “Living disinfectants,” Dr. Baer termed the treatment which he worked out in his private laboratory in his children’s hospital on the outskirts of Baltimore, and later introduced in all hospitals in which he operates. Miss Elizabeth Nane Knight, labora- tory technician, who devotes her-entire time to raising the antiseptic maggots, i with a daily output for several Balti- more hospitals, demonstrated her tech- nique: Flies in immaculate cheesecloth es fed on milk, bread, honey, yeast and water. eggs, laid on liver, sterilized with bichloride ‘of mercury and hydro- cloric acid, hatched in sterile media, dispensed in sterile test tubes. Dr. Sebastian Karrer, physicist of the Maryland Academy of Sciencies, ex- plained an automatically controlled constant-temperature, constant-satura- tion-point maggot incubator—his in- vention. Dr. 8. K. Livingston, assistant to Dr. Baer, told of the treatment—every five days when wounds are dressed the “living disinfectants” are put in, and held by a bandage of fine screen. He described the “hungry scavengers, heads down, tails up, consuming all re- | maining infected tissue,” so that “after about_three applications” the appear- !ance is “pink and healthy” in contrast to the “angry red” of untreated osteo- myelitis.
