GASTRO-ENTEROSTOMY SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED. SURGEON BERNAYS HAS A DELI- _ CATE TASK TO SAVE AN AF- FLICTED MAN. THE INVALID RALLIES FROM THE SHOCK. Several Physicians and Students Wit- ness Something of Rare Occur- rence in the Eurgical World. Surgeon A. C. Bernays performed the un- Usual operation called gastro-enterostomy Saturday morning at Rebekah Hospital, Grand avenue and Caroline street, in the presence of a small number of doctors and students. The patient was William McInnis, a wealthy farmer of Mount Vernon, Ill, who has been affilcted with cancer of the stom- ach. The cancer involved the opening of the stomach into the intestine, and by closing it had prevented the passage of digested food from the stomach. Mcinnis became much emaciated as a re- Bult of this obstruction. Dr. Bernays, whom he consulted, advised the difficult operation of gastro-enterostomy as the only means of prolonging. life. MéInnis consented and he has been at the hospital several days preparing for the operation. he cancer is of the most malignant char- acter and has spread over a large part of the stomach immediately surrounding the outlet. Dr. Bernays made\no attempt to remove the concerous growth, an operation that would have involved the removal of a great part, if not all, of the stomach. Che operation was exceedingly interesting, even to a layman. It was witnessed by a Post-Dispatch reporter, whose identity was unknown to any of the doctors or students present. Gastro-enterostomy by is an operation which a new outlet for the stomach is made and a new connection with the intestine established. It is a delicate operation, not often performed, and was invented not long ago by a German surgeon of note. As far as can be known at this time, the operation was successful. The patient stood the chloroform well, and showed little ef- fect of shock. The time consumed was less than an hour, Dr. Bernays was assisted by Dr. Frank M. Floyd and Drs. Wilson and Green. An incision was made itn the abdominal! starting at «he lower edge of the sternum, and extending about five inches downward, This being lald open, the dis- eased stomach was exposed, Gathering up the intestine Dr. Bernays measured off over a foot of it. Deftly he made the necessary incision and stitched the intestine to the edges of the new opening he had made in a healthy portion of the stomach. More time Was constumed in the operation than was absolutely necessary because Dr. Bernays took occasion .to explain, as he went along, the various moves he was making and his reasons for them. The new juncture having been made, the displaced organs were put back the parts thoroughly washed and the wound closed by a dozen stitches. While operating Dr. Bernays gave the history of the operation and told a story of how he had debated its with its inventor before a meeting of the International Medical Asso- lation. Dr. Bernays did not know that the inventor was present, and he talked strongly against the new operation and itn favor of one which he himse!f had invent- ed, At the conclusion of his remarks two surgeons opposed Dr. Bernays., Then the inventor arose, to Dr. Bernays’ surprise, “And he didn’t do a thing to me.” was the doctor's laughing and laconic statement of what followed. ey the course of the operation Dr. Bernays @aid: “T will tell you something which you may well remember. When a man or woman of over 45 vears suffers from chronic dyspepsia he or she has, in nine cases out of ten, a cancer of the stomach.” Rev. Andrew Konzelmann, who witnessed the operation, caused considerable qmuse- ment among .doctors and students by watching it through a patr of opera glasses, nithough he was within five feet of the patient, Dr. Rernays declined to discuss the opera- tion at its close. DR. LOUIS BAUER RETIRES. The Aged Physician Will Spend His Declining Years in New York. oe ee — Ir, Louis Bauer, one of the oldest ahd most prominent of local physicians, has re- tired from active practice and has gone to New York City, where he will spend the remaining years of his life at Kingsbridge. Kingsbridge, a suburb of the metropolis, is the country home of the doctor's daugh- ter, Mrs. J. A. Fabricious, wife of Dr. Fabricious. A neat home has been erect- el there for the use of Dr. Rauer and his wife. Though he is &% years of age, he would not conseht to retire from active life until he had arranged to spend his time pursuing his literary studies. Dr. Bauer is a well-known writer, his books on sur- gery having been adopted in several col- es ie is also an orator of great force, his medical lectures having attracted consid- erable attention. He is better known in St. Louis for having been the founder of the College of Physicians and. Surgeons. Bor years he was dean of the faculty, but Owing to advancing years, was prevailed upon by his relatives to give it up. But until his departure Friday he attended to his private practice. He enjoyed fairly good health, though troubled occasionally by his left leg. He contracted blood pois- oning seven years ago, and the effects nev- him entirely. It waa his first ill- ness and nearly proved fatal. Mr. Albert Bauer of the Bauer Grocery ,Co. is a son of Dr. Baer, and the only one of the family left in the city. A married daughter and a son live tn New York. “Father was loath to leave and give up hi« work,”’ said Mr. Bauer, “but we insisted. He would not give up his practice while he remained here, and to send him away Was the only way to do it. Dr. Fabricious, ‘with whom he will live, was formally an assistant to father, Several years ago he married my sister and moved to New York where he has been very successful. “Father delights In the companionship of men in his own profession, and therefore iis wit PLUNGED INTO A CISTERN.

They just came into public notice Monday last when they were dis- covered on the Courthouse steps patiently awaiting the arrival of the license clerk to open up shop. They had been there since daylight. Warren says he is 21 years old, but he has been unable to induce a marriage clerk anywhere to believe him up to date. He is sized up to be about 19. The would-be bride claims to be ‘“‘not quite 18,’ and the ‘not quite” should be about 2 years accord. ing to her appearance. Clerk Bilhartz refused them license be- cause of their manifest youth. The boy said they came from Carlyle, Ill, They are not known there. Another time he said he was from Carlyle, Ind., and the girl from Terre Haute. Both have been visiting in East St. Louis, and they made a try for a license there. The marble-hearted clerk refused them on the ground that the girl acknowl- edged that she was not of age. i The next play was to get her mother’s con- sent, Friday she exhibiteda letter purporting to be signed by her mother, giving her con- sent to the union. Then the marble-hearted clerk, aforesaid, of East St. Louis, refused because he did not betieve the ar | was of age.

They failed again. Deputy Recorder Peter Wetzel, without passing on the merits of Ida's mother’s written consent, wanted some proof that William was as old as he said he was. William was unable even to show a mustache as credentials, and wus turned down. They left, discouraged, but still not entirely hopeless of finding a deal- er in marriage licenses who will take pity on them. QVER A.GAME OF CRAPS. Two Chinamen Quarrel and One Is Badly Wounded.

SAYS HE WAS NEVER AFRAID. ——+_ Regards “Dublin” Too Ignorant to Carry Out What He Thinks Was a Conspiracy Against Him. James Murphy, who was acquitted of the murder of Jacob Weinand by a jury Fri- day night, regards his escape from the gal- lows as a great triumph over the detective force of St. Louis. He is at the home of his father-in-law, JAMES MURPHY. Edward Canty, 2838 St. Louis avenue, in the midst of his family and his wife’s sisters. They all share in the feeling of triumph. That Murphy was perilously near to a terrible and infamous death and has been rescued igs regarded as unusual cause for thankfulness and joy in the minds of his relatives, by the fact that they were vic- torious im what they term a conspiracy against Murphy. He discussed the trial with a reporter for the Post-Dispatch Saturday morning. He said he was not a vindictive man, but he inquired anxiously for an opinion as to what would be done with ‘‘Dublin.” the man who testified that Murphy committed the crime. “Of course I am glad I am acquitted,” he said, “but I never had any fear. They (the detectives) tried hard to hang me, but they failed. That was a great plot they hatched against me, but it didn’t quite go through. “This man, ‘Dublin,’ did not act h!s part right. Sie was too ignorant and forgot things. The detectives dr'‘lled him and drilled him but he got mixed on important points, anc made mistakes that showed he was not tell- ing the truth when he got on the stand.” Surphy says he will rest up for a few days and then go to work at his father-in- law’s saloon on the Levee, or open a place of his own.

ONE OF THE BLESSINGS OF WAR WITH SPAIN. RETIREMENT OF NEW YORK AND GALVESTON STEAMERS A GREAT GOOD. BUSINESS WITH MEXICO Freight Rates Will Never Again Be in Favor of New York in the South and St. Louis Will Profit. The commerce of St. Louls ts already re- ceiving a splendid impetus as a result of the withdrawal of the steamers between New York and Galveston, With characteristic enterprise the great wholesale and jobbing houses are taking advantage of the changed conditions to ex- tend their trade in the Texas territory. The rapidity with which this is being done is remarkable. In all lines of trade there is evidence that St. Louis its again what it should be, the great commercial base of supplies ot the Southwest. negs, using his common-sense and ability to!tnhe war will be - nage properly. He has had his hands egetrimental to St. Louis’ commercial in- ul] ] | West, is a busy mart these days. Though aiways busy at this season, the large mercantile concerne are enjoying a measure of prosperity that is unprecedent- ed. Merchants are jubilant and predict that beneficial rather than terests. The rush following the withdraw- al of the New York-Texas steamship service is their best argument. The wholesale houses are making every effort to keep their stocks weil enforced, so as to meet all demands. Washington avenue, the greatest jobbing center in the Millions of dollars’ worth of goods are being re- ceived, only to be quickly reshipped to dealers who, in many cases, have not hith- erto bought in St. Louis. Dry goods jobbers are in the path of an avalanche of letters and telegrams demand- ing St. Louis goods. For the first time in many months it is possible to fill orders from Texas in a way that will be advan- tageous alike to the shipper and the pur- chaser. While the demoralizing rate war between the steamship lines and _ the railroads was on, effective competition with New York and New Orleans was out of the question. The little trade with Texas that was established was at a dead loss. the St. Louis jobbing houses told a Post- Dispatch reporter that his firm alone had lost thousands of dollars in its effort to compete with cities having all water com- munication with Galveston. The absurdly low tariffs from New York and New Or- leans made it possible for mergiants in those places to lower the prices on their goods. St. Louls merchants who did not desire to relinquish all connection with their Texas customers were compelled to meet these figures, while at the same time paying enormous freight rates as com- pares with those in effect from seaboard cities, The situation {is changed now and St. Louis {s again in a_ position to enjoy to the full the splendid Texas field. Present prosperity is in no sense a hoom. Tt will continue. St. Louis merchants have the rate war. They are confident the trade they are now securing cannot again be lost, even if the steamships are restored to the service. The railroads, they say, found the rate war disastrous and can be relied on to pre- vent a recurrence of such conditions. The dry goods firms are not alone {in feeling the good effect of the revival of Texas commerce with St. Louis. Prior to the rate war the great hardware and wood- enware houses of St. Louis were the heaviest shippers to Texas common points. The nature of their wares made the parity in freight rates a heavier burden for them than for dealers in any other lines and they were forced to relinquish the trade. Saturday’s mails brought these for many months had been buying in New York and other Eastern cities. Ione Star steamers has also diverted to St. Louis much Mexican trade. This is felt especially by the manufacturers. IT, D. Kingsland. president of the Manufactur- ers’ Association, who has done more than any one man to promote commercial rela- tions between St. Louis and Mexico, is jubilant and says that St. Louis is now ina better position than she has ever been to introduce her manufactured products into the neighboring repubiic. Machinery and shoes are already moving in that direction. FUNERAL OF MRS. JORDAN. Flowers and Music Features of the Sad Ceremonies. The remains of Mrs. Louise Elizabeth Jordan, wife of Dr. G. A. Jordan, Chief City Dispensary Physician, were buried in Belle- fontaine Cemetery Friday afternoon, The funeral services were Conducted by Rev. B. M. Messick of St. John’s M. E. Church (South) at the family residence, 4639 North Market street. The music, by a mixed quartette, was impressively beautiful, and scores of friends attested their grief and love for the deceased and sympathy for the bereaved family.

Superintendent Broxzks of the Water- works Engineering the Plan to Its Conclusion.

He will lay ' the matter before Water Commissioner Hol- man in a few days and is confident of se- curing that official’s consent to the plan. Superintendent Brooks was in consultation | Phillips of the Fifth regarding the matter. At the close of the conference Capt. Phillips said: ‘We have practical assurances that the idea will rece:ve the hearty and substantial indorsement@of our city officials. The public bath question has been a troublesome one for years. I think the problem Is solved now. Last year my officers arrested over 300 men and boys, whom they caught swimming in the river. It appeared al- most heartless to arrest people for cleans- ing themselves, but we were obliged to en- force the city ocdinances. The records of the Mortuary office show that nearly 100 boys were drowned in 1897. I could advance innumerable reasons for the absolute neces- sity of a big, free bathing pool. We pro- ose to conduct the place systematically and ete it under constant police vigilonce, “If we can secure an appropriat from the Municipal Assembly, bathing sults will be provided to everyone making applica- tion.’’ At the meeting of the School Board next Tuesday evening D‘rector Henry StudniczKa will introduce a resolution providing that the cellars in the various downtown schoo?s be transformed into bathing pools for the summer months. Several members of the board are already in accord with Mr. Stud- nicka’s suggestion, and favorable action is looked for. The plan is to cement the walls and floors of the cellars and place the supervision of the tank in the hands of the school jani- tor, The thickly crowded population in the lower districts will rece've incalculable re- lief if the scheme is carried to completion.

CONQUERING THE CURSE OF CENTURIES. By Special Arrangement, Three Free Bottles of the Doctor Slocum System to All Readers of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Science and consumption have been battling for ages, and now the glad tidings are being car- r'ed around the world, by the army of tne saved, that at last science is triumphant, at last consumption has been overcome and vanquished. For many « weary years men of science have delved in a desert of despair, seeking some means with which to lay low the despo ler of hu- man lives, the wrecker of peaceful homes, the grim guardian* of the graveyard—con- sumption. Now the time is at hand when all should know that the terror of consump- tion is a thing of the past; that the fatal- ity of the disease is absolutely unneces- sary; that the means to exterminate it from this glorious world of ours is within the reach of all, and is an assured fact. This annihilation of consumption, this conqueror of bronchitis, asthma, catarrh and all other complaints of lungs and throat, is named after its celebrated discoverer, the Doctor Slocum System of Treatment, and cures by the simplest, the most natural and yet the most forceful manner, by at once removing the cause. You cannot expect, when a building is on fire, to put out all the flames by pouring water on a portion of them; neither can you ever ex- pect to conquer consumption by stupefying the cough and allowing the deadly germs to continue in their wicked work. The Doctor Slocum System {is not in any sense a half way worker. It at once attacks the germs and drives them, not oniy out of the lungs, but out @f the ent.::c system. At the same time it gpadually masters the cough, until at length it disappears. Meanwhile strength to the blood, until, to the merry music of returning health, it leaps and bounds joyfully through the veins, sending the bright. rich, rosy flush of youth to the cheeks, till the nerves tingle with strength. the step becomes elastic, and the head is held proudly erect, with the full sense of rejuvenation and recreation. Why, you fairly thirst for air,after you have been un- der the Doctor Slocum System for a little while. Where before you were unable to take even the slightest strain on your lungs in breathing you find, after a little bit that your lungs. once so poor and tired. greedily take in copious draughts of air and away down in the lower parts, which had been worse than useiess for co long, this pure, heaven-sent air penetrates and sends the blood bounding away with the giad tid- ings of perfect health. till you feel, no mat- ter how great the obstacle, you are ready and able to cope with it. ' | The Doctor Slocum System its the result of years of tient research and study. It is the crystal- lization, Into a complete and simple system of treatment, of the discoveries of Koc Virchow and Metchnikoff. It is, as its name implies, a comprehensive and com- plete system of treatment, which attack every vulnerable point of the disease an completely vanquishes it. It leaves no point unguarded; {ft leaves no press of the trouble neglected; it cures, and cures forever, b absolutely obliterating the cause, and wit the cause removed, the disease must neces- sarily disappear. In all the annals of scientific discoveries the Doctor Slocum System must be accorded first for it overcomes an obstacle which been the menace of creation for countless centuries, It removes from life one of it# greatest dangers and one of its gravest dis- asters. It makes life better worth the Hvy- ing, and robs Death of one of his ablest lieutenants. Glorious and grand as the news is, the best part of it is now to come, By special ; arrangement with the Doctor all readers of the Post-Dispatch and any of their friends may have three full bottles of this wonder. ful discovery by sending their names and full addresses to the Doctor Slocum oratory Slocum Building, % Pine street, New York. This is a magnanimous—yes, philanthropic—offer,and is open to every reader of the Post-Dis- patch or to any of their friends, and the only obligation on the part of any one taking advantage of this opportunity Is that he use of Doctor Slocum System for the al- leviation of human suffering and the curing of the dread disease—consumption. it has been adding vigor and tone end}.
