Accident Patients.

Doctors say they would sooEer Eave to
deal with cases OF sudden and unlocked for
accident rather than those in which the
!, sufferer has had time TO recognize but not
avoid the calamity which threatened him.
The differnce consists in the increase in
the mental strain. The shock enters very
largely into consideration with the sur
geon. BY this is meant the mental instead
of the physical shock. This mental shock.
the surgeons say, is greatest where. through
the sense of sight, the injured is conscious
for few moments of approaching danger.
The case OF the rointsman. who, while
manipulating a flying switch. catches his
foot in the frog, is a good illustration. He
seesthe ira in coming, and knows whatitis to
happen. Surgeons declare that many fatal
tiles occur for whic h this mental shock IS re-
sponsibe rather than the physical injury.
They say that experience proves injuries at
night to be less likely toprove fatal. and they
account for this by the fact that the in
