A Drcminent surgeon. discussing The
character Of the wounds received on
the battlsnsIds in South Africa, has
pointed out that experience OF the
present campaign would seem to show
that tue only absolutely fatal region Is
the teart Bullet wounds of the brain
are not necessarily fatal. judging from
the records Of the last few weeks. and
this is presumably due to the small
size Of the projectiIe. the velocity with
which Il travels. and the modern prac-
tice Of scientific surgery. by which
dangerous symptoms likely to arise
from injuries may be warded on II
has therefore been suggested that, the
heart being the only really vital part
in the body. steel covering should be
provided 30 a. to protect that part
from bullets A steel plate might be
attached to the soldiers tunics. and
