Gleason pointed to some men who
were engaged in some excavating
work. BY chance, the sergeant to
whom Gleason and the Irishman had
reported the loss was watching the
men work.

Treatment Of Modern Bullet Wounds.

Treatment Of Modern Bullet Wounds.
A most interesting and far-reaching
experiment on large scale was per
formed at the battlefield of Mukden,
says the POSTGRADUATE. Several sani-
tary officers with good surgical train
ing being present. out of 100 soldiers
wounded in the abdomen, so were
operated upon by laparotomy, the so
others left alone, the only treatment
consisting in absolute rest and in
keeping the external wound opening
clean OF the so soldiers operated
upon 40 died of the incorporated 40
survived This striking result indi
Gated the manner of treatment Of
abdominal wounds throughout the
whole war. Laparotomy on or in the
rear of the battlefield was afterward
hardly ever performed. but strict care
was taken that all soldiers wounded
in the abdomen had absolute rest for
the first three days.
