MERITORIOUS PUBLICITY |
The souvenir passenger list given away
on the Admiral Line vessels plying to Alas
ka is an advertisement to the Territory
reaching thousands of people continually
and serves as a constant reminder to come
to “Alaska—top ’o the world wonderland!”
The souvenir, printed on good bond blue
stock, can be folded over, sealed like an en
velop and mailed, requiring but a moment
of time, which is another good point in its (
favor. On the back cover the Pacific S.S.
Co. gives its excursion rates between Seat
tle and Alaska points. <
The only criticism The Gateway makes,
and no doubt the change will be made when j
the next printing order goes in for more of j -
the souvenirs, is that instead of Seattle to
Anchorage, the company make it read Se
attle to Seward. For almost two years now (
the Admiral Line has ceased to ply to the
Inlet town. This, with all due respect to
Anchorage.
DEVELOPMENT ASSURED
Can anyone say this district of the Terri
tory is not progressing after reading to
day’s statement of W. C. Erwin, manager
of the Standard Oil Company. When a com
pany of the magnitude of the Standard Oil
thinks a country is good enough to expend
additional thousands of dollars in perma
nent structures that should be amble evi
dence for others to gauge future develop
ment, and to plan along the same lines.
THE ADVANCE IN SURGERY
An ordinary surgical operation was per
formed in the Samaritan hospital of Phila
delphia a short time ago by the surgeon-in
chief of that institution, Dr. W. Wayne Bab
cock, which demonstrates the great strides
that surgery has made. Dr. Babcock recent
ly showed 100 prominent surgeons from all
parts of the country, members of the Amer
ican Therapeutic society, how he conducted
the operation, which was for eneurism.
Aneurism is an infection of the artery walls
that causes the arteries to swell and in
creases the blood pressure in spots, produc
ing internal hemorrhages that nearly al
ways cause death. The young man upon
whom the operation was performed had
been in a critical condition, suffering great
pain, until the operation relieved him. He
is now in perfect health.
The infection of the aorta, which is the
main artery leading from the heart across
the chest, was held by Dr. Babcock to be the
pause of the young man’s illness. He be
gan operating on the neck instead of the
chest and made an incision into the cartoid
artery which furnishes blood to the brain.By
tying off one end and attaching the other
to an adjoining vein, he enabled the blood
stream to take a new course. The pressure
immediately began to decrease in the aorta,
which was infected above the right breast.
By deflecting the flow of blood from the ar
tery into a vein which was able to stand ad
ditional pressure on the infected aorta, and
the result was a permanent cure.
This operation, it was agreed by surgeons
to whom it was demonstrated, marks an im
portant step forward in the treatment of
diseases of the heart.
