During that war millions of men perished and billions of dollars worth of property was utterly destroyed. These are staggering losses. Were there any gains? It must be remembered that from 1914 to 1918 the world was : | concentrated in an effort to find weapons and methods for the destruc- tion of human life. More efficient production of the things that gave men the power to kill was the chief aim of civilization locked in a death struggle. Opposed to this gigantic effort to destroy, however, was a comparatively small body of men and women whose every thought and act was devoted to the preservation of human life. Surgeons, physicians and nurses were the soldiers that the science of medicine called to the colors. They went forward into battle not to kill but to save, and in the greatest clinic the world has ever known, they learned new methods of surgery and healing that will be of incalculable benefit to mankind. By far the greatest contribution to healing which came as a result of the war wasa new antiseptic which completely revolutionized surgical methods in the allied hospitals almost overnight. What this antiseptic meant to humanity is indicated by extracts from a few of the periodicals the world over that hailed its discovery as the medical achievement of a century. From the Literary Digest “Countless lives have been saved, amputations have been avoided, wounds have been healed in a half or even a third of the time ordinarily required by the use of the new Carrel- Dakin treatment of infected wounds. It is, therefore, gratifying to know that the inventors of this new technique are comalt 1g to this country to make it available here and to teach it to American surgeons. Dr. Alexis Carrel won fame in the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York before he entered the French Service, and his return on special furlough to set up a hospital in the grounds of and under the auspices of the Institute is especially appropriate, According to an article in La Nature (Paris), the Carrel-Dakin method has been spoken of as the greatest surgical discovery since the days of Lister. The basic idea seems to be that as practically all wounds in war be- came at least slightly infected, the most important thing is to destroy the infection by antiseptics rather than merely to keep out infection by antiseptic treatments.” From the New York Sun “The great success of Drs. Carrel and Dakin, especially the advances made in the treatment of deeply-wounded legs and arms which formerly were invariably amputated, but now are saved by the new treatment, is widely known among laymen. Deep wounds meant infection that the surgeon formerly could not get at to cleanse; therefore, the leg had to come off. Dr. Carrel perfected a method of treatment whereby he inserted into the wound a solution of hypochlorite that acted as a thorough disinfectant, and yet avoided the caustic effects of the chlorine. The chemical properties of the solution simultancously kill bacteria, and , have a solvent effect upon dead tissue, thus minimizing the opportunities for progressive infection,”* one The above quotations are from articles describing the Carrel-Dakin solution, the antiseptic that drove infection from the war hosp’ of France, saved hundreds of thousands of desperately wounded men and is now in daily use in hospitals throughout the civilized world, In hospitals! Then why not in homes as well? Why has this greatest asset of the war been restricted to hospital use? Let us explain. In the days preceding the war, the medical p>ofes- sion had only two kinds of antiseptic: powerful, highly poisonous compounds that could not be ap- plied freely and without danger to the human body, and so-called mild antiseptics that were practically valueless. It is a fact, which every physician knows, that although malignant bacteria are the cause of almost all suffering and disease, war surgery had nothing five years ago which afforded real protection against its ever-present and most dangerous foe. And Then Came War And then came the greatest of all wars, and the horrible infection produced by modern gunfire, set the world at work night and day to find something that would check it. Something that would really destroy germs and could be applied with safety to the human body. The result was Dakin’s Solution. Thousands suffered, thousands died, that this anti- septic might be born. It conquered infection in the war hospitals, It is the wonder of modern surgery, but when it was first given to the world the work was only half completed, for Dakin’s Solution was un- stable—it would not “keep.”” It had to be freshly made by experts every day; and the great mass of humanity was denied its protection, So chemists got to work. They worked earnestly ZONITE PRODUCTS CO., From the New York Times “The distinctive feature of this Carrel-Dakin treatment, which is one of the most notable surgical developments of the war, is the use of a solution of hypochlorite under condi- tions which utilize the disinfecting properties of the chlorine and avoid its caustic effects. This chemical compound has the unique property of killing the bacteria and exerting a solvent effect upon dead tissue, thus reducing in the wound the opportunity for bacteria to develop,” We From the Review of Rie. “It is admitted that in the recent war infection was more malignant than ever before. * * * The only efficient anti- septic found was that which was employed with great suc- cess by Drs. Dakin and Carrel. The evils 6f war were greatly lessened, and a permanent a for humanity achieved.” sade From the Hiceaeiee! Journal of Surgery “In this war, infection has played about the most impor- tant role in surgery. There has not been a great advance in the treatment of infected wounds in the last fifty years, At the beginning of the war, about 75 per cent of the ampu- tations were performed because of infection, and not be- cause of the purely traumatic condftion of the limb—about the same percentage as was performed in other great wars. Fortunately, Dr. Carrel and Dr. Dakin, with their asso- ciates, were successful in arriving at a definite line of treat- ment for such infected wounds.’? e 4 for several years; and they have finally succeeded. Zonite is the result. Its discovery means that hu- manity is at last provided with a mighty defense against dangerous bacteria. It means that a medi- cine shelf in the home can contain a non-poisonous antiseptic, that by standard laboratory test is more powerful than pure carbolic acid. It means that the world will benefit hugely in peaceful years to come from a blessing wrung from the agony of war. Uses for New Antiseptic: There are so many uses for the new antiseptic— its possibilities are so enormous—that space does not permit a full discussion of them here. From colds and sore throats, to diphtheria and pneumonia, most human ailments rise from the lodgment and propa- gation of germs in the throat and nasal passages. At these points in the human anatomy the bacteria of contagious diseases make their initial entrance and attack, The knowledge of this was of small value in the past, because the known antiseptics powerful enough to destroy the invader would de- stroy the mucous membrane as well. Zonite, at proper dilutions, may be used with impunity in the nose and throat of a child as well as an adult. Another important fact in connection with the war-born antiseptic is its prevention of fatal acci- dents. It is no longer necessary to risk the horrible catastrophe which bichloride tablets, carbolic acid, etc., may bring upon a household. It will be folly to keep such deadly compounds in the family medi- cin» chest when a more effective and non-poisonous antiseptic is obtainable. Zonite is being supplied to druggists as rapidly as possible. It is a colorless liquid that does not stain, destroys odors and leaves no odor of its own. 342 Madison Avenue, New York City TRADES L 1215 Fourth ——_—
