By DR.. A. C.. Guillaume,
lie Distinguished French War Surgeon.

The Distinguished French War Surgeon.
THE horrors and losses of war have
been lessened to an enormous extent
by the remarkable methods intro
duced by the Franco-Amcrican surgeon Dr.
Alexis Carrcl since the present war began.
Thanks to these methods, the amputation
of soldiers limbs as result of infected
wounds has become very uncommon. For
merly SO per cent of amputations were due to
infected wounds. There are still, of course
wounds in which limb is so shattered that
amputaton is unavoida BILE, but where enough
of the limb remains 10 be worth saving infec-
ton is not allowed to cause its loss.
= 1t is difficult to give exact statistics at
this stage, but it is probably true that rs
per cent of the amputations that were per-
formed in other wars are avoided now, while
the soldier is sent back to civil life in most
cases with strong, scrviceabe limb. This
means the saving Of hundreds Of thousands
of men for a useful life after the war. Amer
lean soldiers are fortunate in being able to
obtain the full benefit of treatment which
was not in existence during the early stage
of the war.
1t is important to remember that every
wound received in battle is an infected
wound. Projectilcs which penetrate the It's
sues must always be considered as loaded
with highly septic poisonous substances This
is one of the first conclusions that was estab
lishcd by the modern surgery Of war 1t
was also found at the beginning of this war
that there were infections following on war
wounds which the antiseptics generally en-
poyed could not prevent from developing.
In fact, in spite of the employment OF eX-
trcmely powerful germicides and in, spite
even Of the very early use of these antiseptics,
number of gangrenous or ultra septic in
fectionS developed.
- Our ablest medical scientists then set to
work earnestly to discover the reasons for
this condition. A great many separate re-
searches carried on at the same time reached
the same conclusion-that the ideal antiseptic
would be one which not only kills the mi
crobes causing the infection but which at the
same time does the least harm to the powers
of resistance of the human body
If general wishes to defend a position he
endeayors to use method which defeats the
enemy while leaving his defenses intact The
latest development of war surgery proceeds
very powerful antiseptics It was as if we had
exploded mine which killed great number
of the enemy, but at the same time destroyed
an equal number of our defenders and their
trenches and works of defense
The essential part of the problem was
then from practical point Of view, the dis
covery of the ideal antiseptic which would
destroy the germs while respecting the
powers of resistance of the defense cells of
the body Neutral hypochlorite or ''Dakin's
liquid, named after an English doctor, has
been chosen by DR.. Carre as the one which
best serves his objects in the treatment of
wounds
This liquid presents, as compared with all
others, the great advantage of combining the
four following qualities:

healthily colored look.
The development should be watched mi
eroscore in hand. Daily the surgeon gathers
up the liquid from the wound and examines
it microscopically. He will see the various
species Of microbes diminishing rapidly and
then disappearing altogether. If the wound
has been treated early it will become free
from microbes about the fifth day. The sur
geon then brings the edges together with
sutures or with adhesive bands.
An ingenious innovation at this stage is
the proceeding known as "corseting." Two
bands of adhesive plaster furnished with
hooks are attached to the edges of the
wound, which can then be laced up like
shoe with the aid of rubber lace. What
ever method of closing the wound be en-
ployed, the tissues join up like surgical
wound made under perfect aseptic condi-
tions and very differently from an old-time
war wound.
Our official war records show the remark.

DARKIES FIGHT OVER

4 case with a humorous side 90 1t

The two were arrested for fighting.

whom the most affection was laNished
heard the other make an uncompli-
mcntary remark. and he knocked the
latter down, and this started the fiEht.

not officers appeared on the scere anr

At any rate the two were the best

NEVADA HORSES
GO TO HONOLULU

George Barry. manager of the Ne
yada stock farm. and E. r. Maekay,
manager of George WingAeld's inter
eats in Fallon, sailed Sunday from San
Francisco to Honolulu, taking with
them Deutchland, one of Wingheld's
prize studs, nine brood mares and five
yearlings.
Deutchland has been sold and all
of the other animals in the shipment
have either been sold or will be dis
posed of as soon as they reach the
Hawaiian Islands.
The importation of Atheling from
England added one of the highest
class sires in the world to the Nevada
Stock Farm and he took the place OF
Deutchland. II is also understood
that deal is pending whereby Mr..
Wingfield will sell Montgomery, an
other stud, which will then leave
Honeywood and Atheling, two high
class animals as the studs for the
farm.

Fielder Jones.

st. Louis. May 2. = Fielder Jones,
perhaps the. games most brainy
manager and certainly the most
silent. is not DISPOSED to claim the
pennant for his Browns. but local
fans are cheered to see that Jones is
feeling very hopeful over the teams
prospects. Jones is one manager who
can claim the distinction of never
bagging pennant before the race is
over and he is not saying much about
what his team will do this sum-
mer.
But it is apparent that Jones be-
1ieves his boys will land a respecta-
BILE place in the first division. In one
of his most laxative moods Jones
went so far as to say that he is hop
ing for successful season ana to
add that he has the greatest con-
fidence in his team as it is now get
ting under way. Perhaps one rea-
son why he is pleased with his line
I'D is the absence Of ex-federal
leaguers.
Last season when Fielder, began
the selection Of his team he found
