Berlin. (By Mail THE German
surgeons have begun to talk about
their experience in healing the
wounded in this war Prof. Payr OF
Lelpsic university, who is acting as
surgeon general to the Saxon army,
recently delivered an address at one
of the improvised hospitals on the
line of the German communications
in which he gave much interesting
information on this subject.
Payr pointed out that the balls
used in shrapnel shells produce much
more dangerous wounds than rifle
bullets. They carry into the body
fragments of clothing, a CORES spond-
ing quantity of dangerous germs;
and they are much more likely to be
lodged in the body. There was SUP
puration in 70 to Is per cent of cases
The same danger is still more serious
with wounds from fragments OF
shells 1t was found too, that this
war has been especially marked by the
great number of such wounds. Not
only do shell-fragments carry germs
into the body with bits of clothing,
but the dangerous gasses from the
shrapnel explosion often adhere to
the fragments and balls in sufficient
quantities to poison the wound.
Lock jaw is often produced by
wounds OF this character; but by vac
chatting patients with tetanus
serum the German surgeons have
reduced the ratio of
deaths in such eases since the first
weeks Of the war.
Especially dangerous are the
wounds caused by fragments of
bombs thrown BY aviators Even
very small fragments often produce,
nuch more dangerous wounds than
much larger pieces of ordinary
shells These small fragments pene-
rate very deep into the body. cutting
