WORK OF 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 at
ter three months tour of base hos.
pirals 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 serv.
Ice become that men wounded at
Ypres were In London hospitals In ~
hours afterward, From the colleges
$500 surgeons have joined the serv-
Ice. and yet there is need for moro.
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.
1ected Immediately has prevented in
Vulnerable cases. incubation against
typhoid fever Is also practiced There
nave 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 explosiveg and not
by rifle bullets, which pass clean
through and do little harm unless they
strike vital part. Doctor Carre and
Doctor Dakin together have discovered
new antiseptic which seems little
short Of marvellous in It's 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 hypochforite of
lime, overcoming the objections to the
latter. Only few months ago two
French physicians discovered 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 Medica, Journal
says that Americans show faint appre-
citation Of their medical discoverers.
1t 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 dscov.
erer Of anesthesia, Is probably not 80
