WORK or SURGEONS IN WAR
Prevention Of Disease and the Cure Of
Wounds Has Been Something
Marvellous.

No phase Of human activity and
progress has been further developed,
perhaps, than the work OF medicine
and surgery during this great war.
Doctor Beaumont OF the White Star
line, tells the New York Times that al.
ter three months tour of base hos.
pitals in Great Britain he finds that
surgery has become more conserva-
tive through the use OF the x-ray. So
efficient has the whole hospital sery-
Ice become that men wounded at
fpres were in London hospitals in ~
hours afterward, From the colleges
1900 surgeons have joined the .serv-
Ice, and yet there is need for more.
There has been great decrease in
the number of gangrene cases in Elan
ders and lockjaw in France, where the
soil is fertile In nourishing the te-
tanus germs. Antitetanus serum In
ected Immediately has prevented in
Vulnerable cases. incubation against
typhoid fever is also practiced. There
have not been three dozen cases OF
enteric among the British in this war,
while in the Boer war there were
thousands. The greater number of the
dangerous wounds are caused by
shrapnel and high explosives and not
by rife bullets, which pass clean
through and do little harm unless they
strike a vital part. Doctor Carrel and
Doctor Dakin together have discovered
new antiseptic which seems little
short OF marvellous in its action. One
Of the most valuable lessons of the
war was the discovery Of the wonder
full usefulness of iodine as an antisep-
tic dressing. The new discovery re-
lates to the addition Of carbonate of
lime and boric acid to hypochlorite of
lime, overcoming the objections to the
latter. Only few months ago two
French physicians discovered a poly
valent" serum roughly described as
"A combination OF several serums
against different varieties of bacteria
Recent news is that most gratifying
results have followed the use of this
serum. The British Medical Journal
says that Americans show faint appre-
citation OF their medical discoverers.
II cites our hall of fame, where poll
ticians head the roll, with authors next
and fiction writer's at the head of them.
This fact is emphasized, the New York
Sun thinks. by the reflection that the
name OF Morton. the American dIscov-
erer OF anesthesla, is probably not SO
well known as the names OF a thousand
mediocrities.

His sermon was on the general top

STORM SPENDS FORCE
BEFORE HITTING CITY

A windstorm which swept Indiana
from west to east Sunday struck this
county about 2 o'clock in the after
noon, but as it has spent it's force
through the western and central Sec
tions of the state it did not cause
very much damage in Richmond, and
other points along its route through
Wayne county.
Williamsburg, Hagerstown, Green's
fork, Economy and Fountain City, all
directly in the path of the storm, re-
ported today that some damage had
been done to the wheat crop, and that
quite number of trees and fences
had been blown over. However the
loss in the north and northwestn parts
OF the county was small. The roof
was blown off a residence on the Will
Hamsburg pike and few sheds were
bowled over.
In Richmond the storm did very lit
tie damage. A few shade trees were
blown over, some windows broken and
some awnings on business houses
were demolished.
The local telephone company re-
ported today that some poles were
blown down and that there had been
some wire trouble, but that all the
damage was quickly repaired.
