Wounds and Pains Wiped Out

Some of the advances made in surgical science during the war are told by a writer in the Christian Herald, The re- building of men's bodies is truly won derf,l Going through one of the great base hospltals in France he saw how , shattered bones are sawed out new bones fitted in and grown fast togeAhev. Men have been brought in with noses shot away, jawbones shattered and the very sight of their faces horrible to be- hold. But new noses have been grown.
 artificial jaw or chin bones been made of steel and the entire faces of men made over. Were it not for the fact that
 photographs were made when they were
 brought in. it would be impossible to
 believe the facts in hundreds of cases.
 Better still, pain has been all but elmi
 hated New discoveries in medical
 science have made it possible to stop the
 pain of a burn, for. instance. in 10 min
 utes. Wounds heal in less than half the
 time they formerly required before these
 new remedies were used have seen smiles on the faces of many patients
 who declared that they were as com 'fortable as they could be. Rodies of
 wounded men are swung in sort of
 harness and bedsores are unknowr: men
 whose bodies were almost shot to pieces
 are in short time on the way to re- covery and actually looking forward to going again to the front,
