Bullets Taken From
Wounds With Magnet
Few AmputatiOns In War

Paris. Oct. 18.-The journal
DIES Debats says that during the
first month after the first arrival
of wounded at the Vichy Hospit-
al where the most important op.
eratlOns are performed, the aver
age of the operations was twenty
per day ont of 1000 cases treated.
OF these 600 operations no more
than ten were amputations and
among the ten were some single
fingers and parts Of fingers only.
Two legs, one arm and one wrist
were all the serious amputations
that proved necessary at this
great hospital.
This very small proportion of
amputations in comparison with
wounded of preceding wars is ac-
counted for, first, by the differ
ence in the effects of modern
projectiles, which have not so
much tendency to produce slivers
of bone. The wound is more To-
Called and cleaner cut than for
merly. In the second place sur
gical science has progressed and
wounds that would have seeming
ly required the amputation of a
member forty years ago are now
treated with a view to saving it.
In connection with the treat
ment Of bullet a n d shrapnel
wounds the Temps states that ex-
periments made in a Lyons hos
Dital have demonstrated that the
German bullets are magnetic and
are in many cases easily extract
ed by the application of a power
full magnet.
In one case at the Desenettes
Hospital at Lyons a bullet was
extracted from a depth of three
and half inches by an electric
magnet powerful enough to lift a
ton, while its extraction would
have been extremely difficult by
any other process. The magnet
is also being used togethr with
photography t 0 locate bullets,
splinters of shells, ETC., under the
flesh, rendering immense service
to the surgeons.
