Amputations
of early 1800s
brought to life

TORONTO (CP) — A hush
falls over the dimly lit
operating room as the sur-
geon enters, his frock coat
stiff and splattered with the
dark red of coagulated blood,
a status symbol he wears
with pride. A patient lies
waiting for the bite of blade
to skin; his terror — and later
the pain — numbed only by
copious quantities of liquor.
As orderlies restrain the
man, the surgeon lifts his
short-handles saw and swif-
tly begins to cut just below
the knee...

This amputation scene was
common in doctors’ surgeries
and on battlefields during the
early 1800s, before science
discovered a patient could be
rendered senseless with
chloroform or ether and be-
fore the link was made that
sterilization prevents the
spread of infection.

That period — with its
macabre-looking tools and
fierce therapies — is brou-

ght to life at the Museum of
Medicine in Torotno, where a
wide-ranging collection of
artifacts tracing 3,000 years
of health care is on display.

“People love gory things,”
curator Felicity Nowell
Smith says in a lilting British
accent as she points to a case
of 1812 surgical insruments.
“Children are especially riv-
eted by anything gory.

“Kids want to know exac-
tly how you have a leg
amputated,” she says, adding
that she often goes through
the motions — “without a
saw” — of taking off a limb
for wide-eyed elementary
school children. “They also
love the enema stuff and the
bleeding stuff.’

DRAINED BLOOD

Bleeding was a widely
practised procedure dating
back to ancient times in
which blood was drained
from ‘a vein or capillaries,
usually in the arm.

“It was thought to restore
the balance of humors in the
body,” says Nowell-Smith,
explaining that up tothe late
19th century, physicians bel-
ieved a person's health and
character were determined
by four substances — or

humors — namely blood,
phleghm, and black and yel-
low bile.

The modern-day barber's
pole traces its beginnings to
blood-letting in the Middle
Ages, when barber-surgeons
advertised their establish-
ments with a pole wrapped
with a blood-soaked ban-
dages.

Housed in the museum is
an assortment of bleeding
apparatus; earthenware,
pewter and silver bowls for
catching blood, small boxes
with retractable blades called
searificators and delicate
knives for slicing veins.

But perhaps the most
chilling reminder of this
age-old art is a bottle of
preserved, grey-white Kir-
udo medicinalis — or leechs.

Howell-Smith says doctors
preferred leeches to blades
because the five-to six-centi-
metre segmented worms gec-
reted an anticoagulant that
kept flowing long after the
bloodsuckers had been pulled
off.

FOUNDED IN 1907

The five-room museum,
part of the non-profit Acad.
emy of Medicine, has been
open to the public only since
1977, although a collection
has existed for members
since shortly after the aca-
demy was founded in 1907.

About 12,000 artifacts
have been amassed, primar-
ily from donations, but only
about 10 per cent are seen by
the almost 2,000 people from
around the world who come
to the museum each year.

In the section on ancient
medicine, visitors are wel-
comed by the mummy of
Nakht, a teenage Egyptian
weaver who died 3,200 years
ago. In 1974, Toronto doctors
and scientists performed an
autopsy on the mummy and
determined that Nakht had
probably died of malnutrition
and a virus still prevalent in
Egypt today.

Another room is dedicated
to medical firsts in Canada
such as the discovery of
insulin and the development
of North America’s first
kidney dialysis machine.

Emma's Jambrosia — the all-women jam-making
co-operative in Crescent Valley — has signed a five-year
contract to provide a leading U.S. health food distributor
with their unique type of fruit spread.

The deal means $120,000-a-year for the business,
which could blossom into $600,000 annually if their
produet proves popular in the United States.

The six-woman mini-factory agreed to a contract
with Health Valley Distributors of Los Angeles Jan. 28,
and will deliver their first shipment sometime in March,
marketing director Suan White said Thursday.

The contract means financial security for the
business, which started in October 1983 on a grant from a
federal ploy initiati prog . Emma's will
begin supplying their U.S. distributor with 700 cases a
month, for which it receives $10,000 — or $120,000 a
year.

White says if the product sells well, Health Valley
will eventually take up to 3,500 cases a month, or
$600,000 worth annually.

The health food distributors are “defini one of

“Some dumb luck. Dumb luck, and an excellent product, I

ss.
se Emma's Jambrosia differs from other jams in that
they use only 30 per cent honey, where other companies
use about 66 per cent sugar, said White. And Emma's jam
(technically not a jam but a melange because of its low
sugar content) tastes more like fresh fruit because a
special fruit allows it to be cooked in only 10 minutes,
says White. Other commercial jams cook ‘for at least an
hour.

As well, Emma's makes their jam out of whole fruit,
rather than fruit pulp or mash.

“The big reason they wanted it is that it tasted like
the fruit, which this other jam didn’t,” added White.

‘The low sugar content in the jam also makes it
attractive to people trying to cut calories.

“It's lower in calories than a lot of diet products that
‘are available. And the purity of the product is a big thing
for people,” White said.

Emma's Jambrosia was originally the brainchild of
20 women from a Nelson women's centre. About three
years ago they thought up three ideas for possible
ae

the largest” in the U.S., serving most of an estimated
7,000 health food stores in the country, White said.

By contrast, there are only about 800 health food
stores in Canada, excluding supermarkets which carry
some health food, she said.

The factory now supplies stores from B.C. to Quebec
with about 800 cases of jam a month — much of this going
to-Nelson, Trail and Castlegar.

White concedes their production may “be a drop in
the bucket” compared to major jam-making compani:

But for Every Woman's Manufacturing and Money.
Making Association (“Emma’s” is just an acronym), the
new contract is big business.

“The potential is enormous,” White said. “They were
selling another brand, but they liked Emma's Jambrosia a
lot more.

“I think that in four or five years, we'd probably be
making at least 5,000 to 6,000 cases a month.”

She said Emma's Jambrosia met with Health Valley
Distributors at the National Foods Exposition in
Anaheim, Calif. last month. A representative from
Emma's who travelled to the exposition to assess U.S.

markets brought samples of the jam.
“These people (Health Valley Distributors) tried it,
and wanted to sign a contract on the spot,” said White.

making children’s furniture, obtaining
ethyl alcohol from artichokes (for use as a fuel), and
making jam.

Jam got the go ahead.

Emma's Jambrosia had researchers at the Agricul-
tural Canada Research Centre in Summerland develop a
basic jam recipe, which the women have since improved.

The factory — a rustic, stained-wood building on a
grassy slope just off Highway 6 between Slocan Park and
Winlaw — was originally intended to provide work for
unemployed women and still employs only women.

While White says men may be hired in the future as
the business expands, she points out that the co-operative
places priority on hiring its 14 female shareholders.

The factory can handle about 3,000 cases a month
now. White said to handle the extra business, a few
“labor saving devices” such as a conveyer and a lift will be
purchgsed. Another full-time employee will be taken on
by the endof-this year.

Emma's Jambtosia hasn't yet turned a profit, but
White says that will change, probably sometime this
year.

But despite being a business that isn't in the black,
Emma's has a reputation ‘for having a working
atmosphere that is surprisingly light-hearted. The
workers don’t whistle while they work, but White says in
the past they've sung and danced while on the job.

By GARY HYSON
Castlegar Rebels edged Nelson Junior Maple Leafs
in Kootenay International Junior
Hockey League playoff action to take a 2-1 lead in its
West Division semi-final series.

series 2-1

Team discipline by both teams fell apart for various
reasons and slowed the contest down considerably.
Rebels’ Dave Terhune played on the point for most of
the games but it certainly did not help the cause. His
goal-scoring ability was needed as a forward.
Scoring for the Rebels was split with Perehudoff, Rob
Tamelin, Terhune, John Obetkoff and Horcoff figuring in

the goals.

Assists went to Horcoff with two, Perehudoff two,

Complex, the Rebels found their net early at 1:52 as Dave
Perehudoff layed a good deke on Leafs goalie Chip
Wallace and shot under his pads. Rod Horcoff worked the
puck out of the corner to grab the assist.

Both teams played with lots of spirit for the first 10
minutes but the game slowly deteriorated until the end.
Jr. Leafs Doug Jay scored unassisted to tie the game 1-1
just after Adrian Markin was given a minor for tripping.

Both teams had many opportunities to score in a
wide open game as skating room was the norm.
Four-on-fours and thi th were pr i
through the contest as referee Kerry Blair couldn't seem
to make up his mind what to call and what to let go.

A good two-line pass was whistled down by a
linesman at one point and the Rebels ended up picking up
their second bench minor in a row. Neither team could
really get going throughout much of the game because of
the inconsistancies.

Rebels’ Ken Hoodicoff was hurt in the first period
and did not return to action. Leafs Doug Jay scored twice
for his teammates before the second frame was finished.

Taylor and Kelly Hurd had singles.

It was hard to pick out stars in this scrambly game
but Hurd should be given a nod for being in the right
place and Perehudoff for his abilities to get the puck in
close to the Nelson goal.

In Thursday night's game in Nelson, the Rebels were
not able to go ahead in the scoring department until the
third period.

Power-play goals by Nelson were the Rebels’
downfall as their desire to win ebbed after the Leafs went
ahead by three goals and then potted a late one for their
seven tallies.

NHL LAST NIGHT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tim Young’s goal midway
through the third period gave Philadelphia a 5-4 victory over
Edmonton.

The Flyers are 7-0-1 in their last eight games with
Edmonton and are in second place in the Patrick Division.
The loss dropped Edmonton, the first-place team in the
Smythe Division, to 40-12-6. .

Young’s second goal of the season gave the Flyers a 53
lead at 11:32 of the final period. He took a pass from Ilkka
Sinisalo at the blue line and from 30 feet out wristed a high
shot over goalie Andy Moog’s left shoulder.

Edmonton cut the lead to 5-4 when Paul Coffey took a

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Tomas Jonsson’s power-
play-goal-with-2:34-left-in- the third-period enabled New
Islanders to salvage a 4-4 tie with Hartford Whalers.

The Whalers, who have won only one of their last 10
games, had taken a 4-3 lead when Torrie Robertson tipped
Kerry Dineen’s pass behind New York goalie Billy Smith.

Smith was making his first appearance after serving a
six-game suspension for slashing Chicago's Curt Fraser in
the face and fracturing his cheekbone.

Jonsson fired a 20-foot slapshot from the right faceoff
cirele past Hartford goalie Greg Millen 61 seconds after Greg
Malone of the Whalers was sent off for hooking. The tie
snapped the Islanders’ four-game winning streak.

FLAMES 8 JETS 4

CALGARY (CP) — Calgary’s Lanny McDonald
celebrated his 32nd birthday with two goals and two assists
to lead the Flames to an 8-4 victory over Winnipeg Jets.

An Olympic Saddledome crowd of 16,683 saw the
mustachioed right winger figure in Calgary's first four goals
as the Flames leap-frogged the Jets and moved into second
place in the Smythe Division.

Other scorers for the Flames, who skated to period
leads of 3-1 and 6-3, were Richard Kromm, with two, Steve
Tambellini, Ed Beers, Dan Quinn and Hakan Loob.

Brian Mullen, with two, Laurie Boschman and Scott
Arniel replied for Winnipeg, which took six of 12 minor
penalties.

DEVILS 6 MAPLE LEAFS 3

TORONTO (CP) — Tim Higgins, Ullrich Hiemer and
Phil Russell scored in a club-record, 42-second spurt in the
second period as New Jersy fought back from a two-goal
deficit to defeat Toronto 6-3.

Toronto led 2-0 on a pair of first-period goals by Peter
Thnacak. But Higgins, Hiemer and Russell, with a
short-handed goal, stunned the Leafs.midway through the
second period with the fastest three goals for the franchise,

of at the Forum, with the retirement of
Canadiens right winger Guy Lafleur’s sweater No. 10.

Sean McKenna of Buffalo and the Canadiens Mike
McPhee both had two goals for their ive teams, but it
was Housley’s effort that brought no reply from the
Canadiens.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Michel Goulet, Brent Ashton
and Brad Maxwell each scored goals within a 29-second
stretch as Quebec Nordiques defeated Pittsburgh 8-1.

The game-winning barrage, which set a Pittsburgh
speed record for giving up three goals, began at 14:07 as
Goulet scored his 39th of the season.

Ashton raised the score to 5-0 just 14 seconds later, and
Maxwell scored his sixth of the season 15 seconds later.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Joe Mullen and Rob Romage scored
two goals each and Brian Sutter chipped in a goal and two

Mullen's first goal, his 27th of the year, came on a
penalty shot at 16:56 of the opening period.

RED WINGS 7 BLACK HAWKS 4

DETROIT (AP) — Claude Loiselle, playing his 11th
game since being recalled from the American Hockey
League last month, scored two goals to lead Detroit Red
Wings to a 7-4 victory over Chicago Black Hawks.

Loiselle sandwiched his first goal of the game between
goals by Lane Lambert and Ivan Boldirey during a
three-goal surge in a 3:43 span that gave the Red Wings a 5-1
first-period lead.

After Chicago trimmed the margim to 5-4 on goals by
Behn Wilson, Steve Larmer and Tom Lysiak,. Loiselle
converted Gerard Gallant's pass at 6:51 of the second period
for his sixth of the season and a 6-4 Detroit advantage.

Sask. rink early favorite

ST. JOHN'S, NFLD. (CP)
— The Steven Leippi rink
from Saskatchewan has been
installed as the early favorite
for this year’s Canadian ju

ship which opens here today

The reason: experience.

Between them, members
of the Leippi rink have 43
years of curling behind them.
And Leippi and his third,
Kelly Vollman, will be com
peting in the championship
for the third year in a row.

Leippi and Vollman were
on the Jamie Schneider rink
that won the championship in
1983 and finished third last
year. Both took part in the
world junior championship
last year.

Leippi has his brother,
Murray, throwing second
stones, and Sheldon Kelln at
lead.

Leippi took over as skip of
the Kronau, Sask., rink when
Sehneider became too old
Junior curlers must be 19
years of age or under. Steven

eight wins and four losses in
the round-robin segment,
losing 7-6 in an extra end in
the semifinal to Bob Ursel of
Manitoba, the eventual cham.

pion
The only returning skip
from last year is Danny

Bentley from Nova Scotia.
Last year the Truro curler
had a 56 record and did not
make the playoffs.

Bentley said he feels Sas
katehewan is the team to
beat.

“A lot of years experience
will contribute to the game
quite a bit,” Bentley said.
“And they have been there
three times.

TEAMS TOUGHER

“Teams from out West and
Central Canada should be
tougher while teams from
around the Atlantic provine.
es should be a little easier.”

Bentley's strategy is sim

“If we know a team has a
few weaknesses, they can't
handle pressure at som

a

times and may have a certain
player who can't, we like to
pu the pressure on them.

“If we know that they are a
young team and are a little
shaky or a little nervous, we
like to make a shot that really
puts them down. We call it
pick-me-up shots for our
team. But if they have the
experience, they shouldn't

have any problems.”

There are 12 rinks in the
championship, one from each
province plus Northern On-
tario and the Territories.

“We know we are capable
of winning against anybody,”
said playing coach Ken Fed
erko, who had one goal for
Elk Valley. “As for Nelson,
they're just another team to
us now. We're starting to
peak.”

Nelson playing coach Brian
DeBiasio said that Elk Valley
now “is playing better hoc-
key (than the Leafs) as a
team.

“They have a chance to
beat us (in the playoffs).
Right now I'd call them the
favorites.”

In Cranbrook, the Royals
led 2-1 at the end of the first
period and 6-1 at the end of
the second before the first
place Chiefs stormed back to
force overtime.

Dan Gerarden scored twice

Nels Venerus and Bruce Cul
len also had a pair each

Troy Farkvam had three

ardelli’s disappointments
when he upset the Luxem-
bourg ace in the world cham
pionship slalom, skied to a
third-place tie with Paul
Frommelt of Liechtenstein.
Both were clocked in 1:43.88.

Nilsson said he was anxi-
ous to do well “because of
Bormio, to show it was not
luck.”

No members of the Cana
dian Alpine team were en.
tered. They are in Whistler,
B.C. this weekend for the
Canadian championships.

Girardelli, a native of Aus.
tria who has skied for Lux
embourg since age 13, was
visibly pleased with his vie
tory. He settled for a silver in
slalom and a bronze in the
giant slalom at the world
championships, then was
third in Friday's World Cup
giant slalom in Kranjska
Gora

POSTS PERFECT SCORE

The victory was Girar.
delli's fifth of the season in
slalom and gave him a max
imum score of 125 points in
that discipline. It was the
second time in as many years
that he has posted a perfect
score in winning the slalom
title.

Although Stenmark failed
for the 19th consecutive out
ing to gain his 80th career

Girardelli clinches slalom title

victory, he was sufficiently
cheered by his progress to
hint he might return for a
13th World Cup season in
1986.

“I feel that I can win more
races, so probably I'll stay,”
said the most successful
racer in the history ofeompe-
titive skiing.

Stenmark's placing
pushed him into second place
behind Girardelli in the sla.
lom standings with 78 points
and into seventh place in the
overall standings with 115.

Girardelli added 25 points
to his overall score and, with
eight races remaining on the
schedule, stands at 240 points
— 83 ahead of defending
overall champion Pirmin Zur
briggen of Switzerland.

However, Girardelli can
score only 10 more points this
season — and then only by
winning two of the three re-
maining giant slaloms —
while Zurbriggen can collect
as many as 140 additional
points in downhill, giant sla
lom and slalom.

Only 19 of the 69 starters
completed the two runs over
a tightly-packed course that
was icy in spots. Among the
casualties was Zurbriggen,
who fell during the second
run after placing 15th in the
first heat
