walked up to the man at the head Of it

burned cheek, each man threw his
arms around his commanders neck

Washington, July I3-Surgeon Gen

the feet showing that in the many
eases Of wounded, some Of them seri-
Gus, not a rise OF temperature or an
accumulation Of pus has appeared in
any case From a medical standpoint
this Is said 60 be a marked advance
from the conditions during the civil
war and is attributed to the intrOduc-
ton Of antiseptic treatment Of wounds
1t shows that no fever follows the
wounds, and that with the absence
OF pus the wounds heal rapidly with
out complication Considering the
great number Of wounds to be treated,
now and hereafter, this Is regarded as
a most Satisfactory showing.
