The general manager of the South
ern Pacific says: "In all our limited
trains we carry emergency cases, which
are placed in charge of employ es who are
from time to time given Instructions to
the use of the contents and as to the best
method of rendering first aid to the sick
and in lured. We also provide employees
at good many stations, where there are
no surgeons, with emergency cases con-
tanning such supplies could be used by
laym in rendering first aid to the sick
and injured until ply sician and surgeon
can be reached. Accompanying each
| case is list of contents, with printed in
| structions as to their use. In addition
we have a very complete provision for
prompt professional service. The lines
have been divided, first into divisions
with division surgeon over each, and
then into districts, with division sur
geon for each district. District surgeons
take charge of all the sick and INJURED
within the limits of their respective
fields. Further, at every station where
there is physician and surgeon in prac-
tfce, we have what are termed emergency
surgeons, who render first emergency
treatment in cases of sickness and injury
and who transfer such cases as require
further after attention to either the
district surgeon or to the nearest of
hospitals. At all points where have
district surgeons we have emergency
surgical cases, containing a supply of sur
gical dressings and appliances ready for
immedia use. In addition. stretchers of
various kinds, with full equipment i n the
way of blankets. ETC., are kept at regular
intervals along the lines.'
