an instance Of this which occurred at
the Battle of Pavia in 1876, when
Francis I. Of France was defeated by
the spaniards. A French barber sur
geon-for they were BARRIERS as well
as surgeons-was dressing his gun
shot patients with the usual boiling OIL
treatment when the supply Of oil ran
out and he was compelled to dress the
remainder of the mems wounds with
cold water. He apologized for this,
but declared that he had done his
best. The next morning, to his great
establishment, he found that his water
cure patients showed the greatest Inn
provement, while those Of the boiling
oil treatment were feverish and I'M
comfortable from infiamed wounds.
Even as late as 1912 the wounded
were left In q measure without care.
Men had to drag themselves to the
surgeons and afterward obtain shelter
as best they could. often waiting on
the floor In a house until some wound
ed man died before obtaining a bed.
Such q thing as a field hospital did not
exist until well into the nineteenth cen-
fury. Even in the Crimean War the
hospital Accommodation were hor-
rible, and even at the, base hospital
there was no one to nurse the wound
ed and many men died without even
having their wounds dressed.

seen the wounded brought in from the

shrapnel-that high power explosive
which makes wounds Of an appalling

was that used after ampntation Of

used for any injury which required
cauterizing. It was not until the be-

evils of the remedies used were dis

Impossible To Treat All Wounded.
In hundreds Of cases the wounded
in the present war receive NO treat
ment whatever until they reach some
hospital in q city. and in most IN
stances the wounds have commenced
to supperate. AS the fighting goes on
almost al the time the vast numbers
OF, wounded have fairly swamped the
small corps Of surgeons who have
found themselves unequal to the task.
"A number Of American surgeons are
scattered over the war zone and their
report Of the situation IL appalling.
Scores Of American women are lend
ing their aid. but the food OF wounded
pours in each day--men who can Ill
be spared. yet numbers of whom Il
they live will be cripples to the end of
their days.
As to the work on the field, the hos
pital corps are working day. and night
to reach the wounded and give them
water at least, for. even a slight wound
in warm weather creates intense thirst,
and during the battle at Namur men
of the hospital crawled among the
wounded and gave them water. Sew

OF mercy-not Intentionally, but be-

It has been impossible to reach

only after the greatest difficulty that
the wounded could be gotten out OF

1t must be remembered that the
main object Of war is not to rescue

battles. The successful commander
who has just won a victory, acting
upon this principle, will need all HIS

look after the transportation or care
of the wounded Of his own men. to
say nothing OF those of the enemy.
This is left in care of the surgeons
and hospital corps who press every
available vehicle into service to send
them back to the base hospital over
the line OF communication.

and the field hospital where he re-

parties to the suit should have the
water that is needed for their lands.

be a revolution In the use of water.
There Is an instance on record up In

II often happens that a rancher will
