WOUNDS
BY LISTENING
English Surgeon Tells of Using
Telephone to Find Metal
Embedded in Body.

" RAYS have enabled doctors 70
\ accomplish miracles in the way
Il of locating foreign substances
in the human body and treating in
ternal wounds, and 20 this wonderful
aid to healing has now been added an
invention which actually enables a
physician 10 discover wounds by sound.
II is Sir james Davidson. consulting
.urgeon Of the Rontgen rays depart
ment Of Charing Cross Hospital. who
describes in "Tit-Bits' this latest
method, which he has tried with the
greatest success. His apparatus con-
sists of a special telephone. with double
receivers. One end OF the telephone
wire is attached 10 q small piece Of
platinum. which is placed upon any
part OF the patients skin, near where
the wound is supposed 20 be. This
platinum is held in position by plaster
or a bandsge, the other end OF the tele-
phone wire being in the form OF dis
infected thread Of silver, which is used
because il can be readily attached 10
any of the surgeons instruments
knife, a probe, needle or pair of for
ceps The only precaution necessary is
that the attachment OF the terminating
wire Of the instrument should be firm.
II the surgeon then attaches the tele-
phone receiver 10 his ear and begins 20
use his instrument upon the tissues he
will hear with great distinctness what
is known as a microphonic rattle the
instant the instrument touches any
metal embedded in the patients tissues.
The value OF this apparatus TO sur
geons on 'bo ir''tef~id is obvious. but
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-02-21

Sir James points out that for thos<
who wish TO test the efficacy OF this
latest scientific discovery il is not
necessary 10 have a man from the.
trenches with a bullet or shrapnel i'm z
rim. To demonstrate the value OF loSs
eating wounds by telephone sound n
potato Of good size may be taken 20
represent the patient. or that part Of
the patient in which the metal foreign
hcdy is lodged. and common nail.
well embedded in the substance OF the
Potato may represent fragment or
she'll or shrapnel. The potato ia placed
upon a piece of platinum foil. moist .
cned in the usual way. on table. The
telephone is then connected up in the
manner which has been described, both
"a the platinum foil and also to thr-
knife. which is steel throughout. The
potato is incised with the knife. and
the moment the blade touches the NAN
q grating sound is heard. and is re-.
reated whenever the contact Of tfes
knife with the nail is repeated. -
Talking Of bullet wounds. Sir Jamsa
refers 10 the popular fallacy that IL g.
bullet, a piece OF shrapnei or th1~'
smallest gun shot is lodged in tie
human body il is bound to do a grcxS-
deal OF harm 10 the constitution. Ia
fact, he says, there seems 70 be an
impression abroad among soldiers thst
their chance Of employment is dimin-
ished il they are known to have a bui-
let embedded somewhere in thesr~
bodies.
After referring 20 the fact that the
tendency Of army surgeons to-day is 20
abstain as much as possible from those
extensive surgical operations which in
former days sometimes left a patient
with far larger and more serious
wound than any modern bullet could
produce. he says that experience has
shown that the human body has re
markable tolerance Of foreign bodies.
such as bullets. and that the sooner
the popular fallsey referred TO is re-
moved the better, In other words,
man with a, bullet embedded IN hi,
flesh may se quite as strong and
healthy rs any other man.

I'm MAKING OF BATTLE FILMS

their work would mainly consist o. re
treating a. the double. The German
supcrs eventually waived their griev-
arces when offered them extra
money. The films were great sue

will IN the battle scenes, and many OF
them were a mass Of bruises when the
cameras stopped clicking. In one
scene the Huns had 70 storm a bar

inhabitants. who really believed that
the Germans were actually invading

that some Of the villagers barrlcaded
their doors and windows and sat
