SURGICAL MARVELS.
Bloodless Operations Planned
By Marconi;
ELECTRICAL GERM-KILLING,
HOME, May 29,
Senatore Marconi is developing new discoveries of a medical character, including a device for killing microbes in the human body and an electric knife which makes incisions without causing hemorrhage in the patient.
The first device is the outcome of the inventor's studies of ultra-short waves which generate a sufficient temperature in the human system to kill noxious microbes.
The knife is attached to a dynamo and fitted with an extremely thin blade, capable of killing living cells by means of high temperature, at the same time closing .the arteries.
