FAST SURGICAL WORK.
One Major Operation an Hour the Aver
age for Each Surgeon.

Major Alfred NJ Rowley, recently re-
turned from France, where he served
with the Yale mobile unit, addressed the
members Of the Hartford Hospital Train
ing School Alumnae association. He
spoke on the subject of "War Surgery in
France illustrating from his own OBJ
seryations, and from several pictures
taken of actual eases.
Major Rowley told Of the primitive
methods of surgery used during the first
part of the war and which were revo-
lutionized. He described the operations
in which he participated last fall, at the
front lines. The operations were mostly
done at night, he said. Wounds of the
head and abdomen, he said, were the
most serious and were cared for first,
while those with minor injuries were
cleansed foreign bodies taken out, dry
dressings applied and the men sent back
to the field hospitals, where cultures
were taken. If the wounds were found
to be sterile, they were then sewed up.
He said that of all the operations those
of the lungs were the most wonderful,
although marvellous operations were per-
formed on the head and abdomen. In
speaking of the rapidity with which the
surgeons and doctors were forced to work
during a big drive, Major Rowley said
that the average number of major opera
tions for a doctor to perform was one an
hour. The surgeons formed operating
teams and did one operation after an
other in such quick time that the nurses
gave anestheties to the patients as fast
as they could in order to keep up with
