REVOLVER WOUNDS.
More Dangerous, For Many Reasons,
Than Those of the Rifle.

ASAAASs
Wounds in civil life differ from those
in military life in the greater after dan
ger of septic involvement Revolver
cartridges are more liable than are
rifle cartridges to have been handled
frequently, to have been carried in
dirty pockets and, to have come in con-
tact with various forms of infectious
materials that may prove of serious
consequence when buried in the It's
sues. Moreover, revolver cartridges
are covered with coating Of grease,
and this encourages an accumulation
of manifold microbic material, some of
which may prove to be Of yirulently
infectious nature.
Rifle bullets are practically always
sterilized by the intense heat developed
by the powder at the moment Of their
discharge. Their rapid progress through
the air while in a heated condition still
further serves to cleanse them of any
extraneous material that may chance
to have accumulated on their surfaces.
This cleansing process is very effectu-
ally begun by the rifling Of the rife
Darrel through Wnlcn the DulleS lorces
its way.
All these favorable factors are lack
ing In the case of the revolver bullet,
and SO it is possible that in any given
case such bullet may carry infectious
material with 1t into the tissues. II
this were in small amount, nature
might effectually wall it of and no Sc
rious consequences result. On the 9th
er hand, such infectious material might
lie seemingly dormant for days, but
really slowly gathering strength by
multiplication, and when its toxins
were elaborated in sufficient amount
they might paralyze protective chemo-
taxis and produce septic condition

Re. oIutions OF Respect.

Adopted by Drummondtown bsp-
tist Sunday School, July 18th, 1901, In
memory of Miss Bessie e. Gunter, de-
ceased:
Since II has pleased our Heavenly
Father In his great love and unerring
wisdom to call Sister Bessie Z. Gun
ter from the field OF service to the
rest prepared for the people OF dod'
the Drummondtown Baptist Sunday
School assembled In regular service,
desires to bear testimony to her per-
sonaI worth, and to place upon re-
cord It's appreciation of her noble
christian character. and the lifelong
conservation of her rare natural and
spiritual gifts to the service OF her
Master. Therefore be 1t resolved
That In the death of Miss Gunter
this school has sustained loss that
the all wise God alone can repair.
That in her service OF love to the
school, she has set an example OF
christian conservation, and godly
zeal, which truly reflects the Christ
life. and in this she has left a memory
cherished by all who knew her.
That with the memory OF her
christly devotion and the example OF
her self sacrificing love ever before
us. we will endeavor by Gods help,
to raise our Sunday School to that
plane OF spiritual efficiency and
human helpfulness which was ever
her constant endeavor.
That in the loss sustained by her
death we recognize God as the giver
OF life, and his right to take 1t away,
and bow humbly before the sover-
ign will.
That we tender our deepest sym
pathy to her loved ones In their great
sorrow, and commend them to Hin
who has said, "Lo! am with you al
way even unto the end of the world"
That this expression OF our sorrow
and appreciation of the service o.
our honored fellow-laborer In Godi
vineyard be preserved In the records
of our school, and published in the
local newspapers.
