CELLULOD SAVES LIVES.
Germans Use This a. Covering for
Soldiers Wounds.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald
Berlin. July 3l.-The German army
surgeons in the field and in the hos
pitfalls have succeeded in saving the
lives. or at least the limbs. of many
wounded soldiers with the aid Of cell
luloid. The method Is simple. The
wounds after their antiseptic treat
ment. are covered with very thin
sheets of transparent celluloid which
are fastened around the edges with
adhesive plaster. This system enables
the surgeon to watch the healing pro-
cess closely without removing the
bandase. The celluioid sheets are
practically fndestructible and can be
used times and again after proper
sterilization.
