A case in point may Melted: A Gu

lung-a wound which if Cused hv an
ordinary bullet would be consdered fa-

two hours after knowing he hid been
hit. There was practically no hnor-
rhage, and with such surgical treatLent
as could be given him, even in the vrv
limited hospital department of his a.
my, he was up and about in eight days
after the battle.
Another remarkable case is that of a
man who was shot through the leg be-
low the knee. The bullet passed through
the flesh, muscles and bone, and yet the
man kept on fighting for some hours

that he was seriously injured. After the
battle he was attended by surgeon. It
was found that the bone had not been
splintered, and there was no hemor-
rhage. and in very few days the sol
der was up and about with his COM
patriots.
If this wound had been made by an
ordinary bullet, it would very probably
have "mushroomed" and torn the It's
sues, arteries and flesh and splintered
the bones. necessitating amputation.
The use of the mauser bullet by the
Spanish perhaps accounts for the very
small mortality in the ranks of the in
surgents, and it is because the latter use
the old fashioned bullets and almost
any kind of firearm they can get hold
