EXPLODING SHELLS

Men Even When They
Aren't Hit.

Not hysteria. hut the most profound
nervous Generalization may result
merely from the blasts OF wind produced
by shell explosions. according TO the
London Lancet. which gives some Of the
observations Of Paul Ravaut. as re-
lated by him to the Academic de Mode-
cine de Paris.
VI. Ravaut observed a case in Novcm-
her. 1914. where. after a shell eNplo-
sion. a man was carried 10 the ambu-
lance station suffering from paraplegia,
which is a paralysis OF the lower half OF
the body. In March, 1915. the explosion
OF a bomb "A trine over a yard away
left a man paralyzed on his left side
and unable TO speak. In both these
cases all feeling had been destroyed in
the paralyzed parts and there was no
where any external wound. The second
vase got well in twelve days, except for
some stiffness in the left leg.
In another instance ar explosion made
one victim almost comatosc. Violent
headaches and deafness in the left ear
were observed.
The explosion OF a mine near a trench
sent another man staggering for help
and talking incoherently. He recovered
In ten days.
Such cases, thinks NJ. Ravaut. are due
TO the swift change in atmospheric pres
sure caused by the explosion. This
causes h~emorrhages in the nervous sys-
tenn. They are more common on the
firing line than hysteria.
