Interesting Observations During the

Painless Death for the Soldier
Painless Death for the Soldier
Stricken on the ButtieGcId-Pre-
yious Theories Upset.
n.rom the New York san.l

Painless death or almost certain and
painless recovery from his wounds is the
alternative fate OF the soldier stricken
down on the field Of battle by the modern
small -calibre bullet. If soldier is not
killed outright his wounds almost invaria-
bly, heal under antiseptic treatment. OF
nearly 1,40O wounded men. for example,
who passed through the hospital at Sibo-
ney during the Santiago campaign but
three died of their wounds, fact which
speaks volumes for the efficiency Of the
army surgeons. Antisepsis the small
sized steel jacketed bullet and the great
velocity impaired to it by high power
guns combine to make present-day bat
tie humane compared with the fighting Of
the past Modern surgery and modern
ordnance have together minimized in a
remarkable degree the suffering of the
wounded; in fact. wounds received in war
may be said to have been almost entirely
robbed of the horrible character commonly
imputed OF them. Bullets go through a
mans muscles, leaving a clean wound
which heals in few days, or even pene-
trate his vitals without giving him any
great distress. And you are just as safe
within close range of the enemy as you

safer
Studies of the .elfeat of gunshot wounds
inflicted during the Spanish American war
made by Drs. La Gafde, Munson and 9th
ers connected with the Surgeon Generals
office demonstrate that experience has
completely overthrown all the theories
held by army Officers prior to the late war
respecting the nalure.9f the wounds which
would be caused by modern rifle bullets.
These theories were based on experiments
with fresh and ryEbones, cadayers and
tin cans filled with h=yater or wet and dry
sawdust. -
1t was found that the small army bullet
in striking these objects displayed consid-
cradle expansive or explosive effect, a tin
can filled with water.Atfor instance, being
torn TO pieces. This gave rise TO what
was called the hydrodynamic theory, based
on the proposition that force applied TO a
fluid was eXerted equally in all directions
from which it was reasoned that bullet
striking the liver or perforating the brain
or any organ containing an excessive
amount OF moisture would produce SINH
lar effects. 1t was also thought that the
impact of a bullet at short range would
be so powerful as to drive portions OF It's
sue either SOFT or bony, or pieces of cloth
ing out Of the track of the projectile with
suob force as to make them secondary
missiles.
In actual battle, however. the theoreti-
cally anticipated explosive action OF the
small bullet was not observed. 1t was
discovered that the full mantled service
bullet when undeformed has but slight ex-
plosiye effect at any range, and that it
rarely disintegrates on impact with hu-
man tissues. Nor does 1t, as a rule, carry
with 1t into the wound portions OF the
clothing and equipment For these rea-
sons the modern steel-olad bullet of small

GETAWAY DAY AT LOUISVILLE
Rush Surprises the Talent. by beat
ing May Hampstead.

Ing May uempSteud.
Louisville, May 2o.-May Hampstead was
beaten today by Rush. II was May Hemp
steads first race since the Tennessee Der
by and while her inaction may have had
something to do with it, it certainly looks
as though Rush is pounds the better horse.
She won the Oaks without struggle by
ten lengths. May Hampstead carried III
pounds, Rush liz, and Lady in Blue ll2.
They were of to a good start with Hemp
stead in front. Passing the stand, Rush
took the lead and at the quarter was three
lengths to the good. At the half it was
the same. At the three-quarters she was
four lengths in front. and when at the
stretch FIVE lengths separated the two
horses, mighty cheer went up from the
stand. Turner was doing his best on May
Hampstead, but to no purpose. and half
way down the stretch he eased up and
Rush galloped in an easy winner by ten
open lengths. The time, 1:52 12. was ex-
cellent over a muddy track. The meet
ing which closed today was the most sue
cessful in the history Of the track. sum

change the frst-aid dressings. Not over
per cent OF the wounds went on to sup
puration. In these results antisepss and
surgical skill played an important part,
rejecting great credit on the medical de-
partment of the army. which observed
every requirement of modern antiseptic
surgery in the face of serious obstacles.
Mortality among the wounded is consid
cred almost entirely dependent upon anti
septic treatment. and this even more than
the humane modern missile. has mitigated
the horrors of warfare.
