ed as to the manner In which the experV
surgeons locate bullets that have struck
these poor fellows. Ingenious ways of
finding bullets and pieces of shrapnel
are resorted to by French surgeons with
the aid of powerful electromagnetic. but
the Sutton method, of American origin.
is becoming universally used
Another American whose name win
be writ large in the medical history of
the war is DR.. Kenneth Taylor. who
discovered the antidote for gas gan
green. When it was not yet known
whether his experiments were successful
or not, an unknown American girl-a
nurse at the front-inoculated herself
with the deadly poison. though no one
knew of her heroic deed till later. The
antidote worked and she was saved. but
her act deserves mention as one of the
bravest of all time.
TN removing bullets by the Sutton
method, the wounded man is
placed on a table. beneath which
is an X-ray machine, and over
is placed the tube of light used
in the photographing process. The
bullet then is shown on the plate.

ticnt. The X-ray has demonstrated that.
like nearly everything else in France. i
is somewhere near a certain locality.
But how deep? The tube then is placed
at another angle. The shadows are
made to cross and the bullet is again
detected. To find how far to probe
the surgeon resorts to mathematics and
works out his calculations by the simple
principles of triangulation. -
The surgeon thrusts hollow. needle
like device into the body, finds the bull
let. and puts piece of slightly barbed
piano wire down to hold to the tissue
around the bullet. Then the patient is
wheeled to the operating room. where
the work of removing the bullet is
quickly accomplished. I have known of
cases where triangulation has been done
within FIVE minutes.
1t is the bravery of these poor men.
however. that wrings anguish from the
heart. No complaints. no bitter words
against their cause which led them to
sacrifice. Shattered limbs. serious flesh
wounds, blindness, deafness from the
great detonations-but no word of COM
plant.
Man is a queer creature who quickly
adapts himself to conditions. The quick
ness with which war was grasped meant
also that human understood as quickly
wars by-products. and pain and death
and suffering and poverty are some of
them. And that is why it is so difficult
for one who has been in the midst to
obtain a perspective. The most horrible
things become commonplace, always so
to remain.
