NEW ANTIsEPTIC DRESSING.


CHICAGO, May 19.-War in the not far
distant future, will lose large share of
its horrors by the universal adoption of an
antisceptic dressing for gunshot wounds. ac-
cording to DR.. Nicholas Sem, one of the
five delegates to the International Medical
Congress at Madrid, Spain, appointed by
the United States government. DR.. Sem
has just returned from abroad.
This method of treating wounds by i'm
mediately preventing infection is boon to
humanity" declared DR.. Sem tonight 1T
should be adopted by the police and fire
departments in cities and by the armies of
the world. Since its use in the Spanish
American war and in the Philippines this
device has greatly simpiified and by it's
use on the battlefield wonderful results in
preventing mortality are obtained. The
services of physician are not needed and
it is good for knife wounds and all manner
of injuries. Every soldier will be equipped
with the dressing ard can use ii himself.
The International Medical Congress was
much interested in it..
