wonderfully mitigate the suffering OF man whose
body has been perforated by tho modern small
caIbre bullet II IL VOL established that tho
velocity and penetrating force OF these bullets arc

cotton to the rear OF tho bullet. This would
be covered by tho shell Of the cartridge

plug the hole and stop tho bleeding. Ultimately
this system might do away with the necessity
OF n largo medical corps. as each bullet would
carry medical treatment for tho unfortunate It
wounded"
