As an evidence OF the superior skill of
our surgeons, a member Of the Fourth
regiment had a chicken bone stuck in
his throat. 1t caused him great dis
tress. but he could not find a surgeon
to extract 1t until he reached the Thir-
teenth. DR.. Fulton had the necessary
instruments and 1t was extracted and
his sufferings relieved. Our men realize
the competency Of the surgeons. and
any little trouble requires their i'm
mediate attention. One man lost his
taste and wanted It returned. That
was a terrible calamity to happen while
at camp and he sought the doctor. 1t
was a staggerer. but an attempt was
made at restoration. 1t failed, and he
returned next day. He has not been
heard from since. T. p. d.
