will enable most individuals to deal
with the plants with impunity. The
further precaution of greasing the
hands with lard, to be washed of with
strongly alkaline soap on conclusion
OF the work, has been recommended.
1t may be possible to employ some
one to remove the plant who is not
affected by it, since many individuals
are practically immune from the eff
fects of poison ivy. In burning poi
son ivy care must be taken to keep
away from the smoke, as cases of
serious injury to eyes. nose, and
throat from the poison conveyed By
this means have been reported.
The toxic properties of poison ivy
are attributed to O nonvolatile oil
which is found in all parts of the
plant even after long drying. Minute
amounts of this oil are capable of
causing extensive inflammation. The
oil is insoluble in water but may be
removed by alcohol or destroyed by a
solution of sugar of lead and alcohol.
AS a preventive measure thorough
and repeated washing with warm
water and strongly alkaline soap as
soon as possible after contact with
poison Ivy is advisable, and 1t should
be borne in mind that the poison may
be transferred indirectly from cloth
Ing, gloves. and implements, also from
towels used by those who have been
in contact with the plant
Since Ivy poisoning generally sub
sides within a few days, the treat
ment of mild cases is simple. There
Is, however, no one remedy that will
cure all cases. In severe cases a
physician should be consulted Spe-
eialists OF the department have found
the following methods and formulas
useful IN many cases: At the outset,
| removal of the cause of the irritation
| may be accomplished by cleansing the
infiamed surface repeatedly with al
| eohel, or with saturated solution of
sugar of lead In alcohol using
fresh bit of lint or absorbent cotton
each time, to avoid spreading the irri-
tant. The sugar of lead solution
can not be used over extensive areas
because of risk of lead poisoning.
| Covering the inflamed parts with lint
or absorbent cotton kept constantly
moist with limewater or with satur-
|
will afford relief. When this can not
be used a simple ointment, such as
zinc oxide ointment, is recommended.
A solution containing l ounce of fluid
extract of grindelia to 1 pint of water
applied on cloths and allowed to
e~aporate may afford relief Black
wash, prepared by adding 1 dram of
ealomel to / pint of limewater, may
be applied two or three times a day,
allowed to dry, and followed by zinc
oxide ointment. This treatment must
be used with caution in extensive
cases because of the possibility of
mercury poisoning The acute In
ffammation of ivy poisoning is some
times followed by eczema and secon-
dairy infections of the skin, which in
mild cases will yield readily to treat
nent with bland antiseptic ointments.
A formula highly recommended for
Ivy poisoning and often especially
helpful at this stage Is the following:

MOST HUMANE WAR SAY
SURGEONS-MODEnN SAN

washington Starr

That the present European war, the
greatest in the history of the world,
will also be the most humane is the
belief of leading surgeons. They point
out that in the American civil war
eight SOLDIERS died of disease to one
from wounds. They estimate that in
the war now in progress the ratio will
be three to one. They say that those
who die will die more quickly, and that
gangrene and infection will be practi-
cally unknown.
The modern high-power, quick firing
military rife and the development in
artillery are given credit for much of
this change.
The Americans and Japanese have
been leaders in the Improvement of
army sanitation during the last fifty
years. The United States Army hos
pitfalls have installed many remarkable
innovations since the Spanish Ameri-
can war. with its dreadful lesson in
the danger of typhoid, and these new
ideas have been adopted by the army
surgeons Of old world powers.

levies Of the young republic met and
repulsed them. Gen. Du INQUIRIES, COM.
mander of the French troops, shows
clearly in his report that the Prussians
had been untitled for service by dysen-
terry. Ordinary sanitary precautions
would have prevented this.
Battle casualties in recent wars have
been from 10 to 20 per cent of the num-
Der of men engaged. and the ratio of
men killed and wounded has been
about one in four, according to inter
esting statistics on the cost Of medi-
cal service in war, which appear in an
editorial in the New York Medical
Journal.
Rifle Fire Wounds.
OF the casualties, from 60 to so per
cent were caused by rifle fire and from
90 to 80 per cent by artillery fire,
chiefly shrapnel. Bayonet and saber
wounds have been of comparatively
infrequent occurrence, and little mem
ton is made of them in reports. The
journal quotes Prof Charles Richet Of
the University of Paris as authority
for the assertion that ambulance SER
vice alone for 100000 wounded or i'll
costs 81 a day for each, or 100000.
This is a startling sum-" says the
editorial, but apparently it does not
take into consideration the cost Of
feeding the doctors, nurses and either
chauffeurs or drivers of horses con-
nected with the ambulance service,
while there is no estimate of the first
cost of the elaborate paraphernalia,
drugs, apparatus, instruments, ETC.,
required"

Hideous Wounds Lessened.

Hideous Wounds Lessened.
Before the Russo-Japanese conflict
the armies the world over used a
large -caliber bullet made of unsheath-
ed lead and creased to overcome fric-
ton N the barrel. The muzzle velocity
was less than half that of the missiles
now employed.
Then, tco, bayonet and saber charges
were more common. These resulted in
hideeus wounds, very difficult for sur
gecns to handle.
The bullets which are flying in Eur
ope today are of less diameter than
the ordinary lead pencil. They are
jacketed with nickel or steel, and have
tremendous velocity.
The soft, mushrooming bullet Of the
old day resulted in the shattering of
bones and the crushing rather than
cutting of tissues. Infection was al
most inevitable, the grease being es-
peUially insanitary. A wound in the
abdomen was considered necessarily
fatal. The death rate among the
wounded was enormous.
In recent campa gns there are in
stances where soldiers shot In what
were once considered vital spots have
walked unsupported to the field hos
pitfalls.
Small caliher Bullets.
Germany uses a HTauser rife, with a
bullet of nm. caliber, steel and cop
per coated. Great Britain's missile is
the Lee-Enfield, caliber III nm, the
coating being supro-nickel.
The French weapon Is the Lebel
rifle, of nm. caliber, with bullets
coated with nickel Russia uses Mos
sin-Nagant rifles, caliber 1852 NM,
with bullets supra nickel coated. Aus
tria's chief small arm is the Manlcher,
caliher nm, with a steel sheet over
the tip.
Hitting a man beyond $50 yards the
wounds inflicted by all these bullets
are clean-cut. They frequently pass
through bone tissue without splinter
ing.
Amputations are very rare compared
with wars of more than fifty years ago.
A bullet wound through a joint, such
as the knee or the elbow, then neces-

Now such wound is easily opened
and dressed.
Even Russia, which made a sad san
itary showing in the war with Japan
has learned her lesson and has efflc-
lent surgical arrangements.
All the nations use vaccine to COM

decimated camps and killed 1900 in
our Spanish war.
Field Hospitals.
Every army division $4,000 to $4,000
men) Is supplied with four field hos
pitfalls, each capable of caring for 10S
patients. There are also two evacuation
hospitals, with capacity Of 700 each,
for each division. The evacuation hos
pitfalls send the more seriously wound
ed back to the hospitals at home.
Then every officer is instructed in
first aid treatment This alleviates a
great deal of suffering on the field of
battle.
Next to typhoid dysentery is the
great army scourge. This is attacked
by sterilizing the drinking water.

determined the fate of nations. In 1902.
