SURGERY BENEFITS
BY WAR EXPERIENCE
Both Wounds and Burns Will
Be More Successfully
Treated in Future.

One Of the blessings to humanity
evolved out of the world war was the
great advance made IN surgery, tine
new methods discovered and perfected
to relieve suffering and hasten the
healing Of wounds, and the wide diff
fusion Of that knowledge throughout the
medical profession by the return of
large numbers of army surgeons thor
oughly experienced In the new meth
DDS to their practice in civil life to all
parts Of the world, according to Mai.
William f. Clary, who is home on a
leave of absence after having spent
about nine months on the surgery staff
OF Base hospital No. 81, in Paris Ashere
he performed from two to six or more
operations almost daily during the en-
After a visit with relatives in Bell
buckle, Tenn, DR.. Clay will return to
Camp Gordon for a time, and upon his
discharge will resume his practice in
Memphis with DIR. d. Max Henning,
who was also in France, but returned
several months ago.
For a time DIR. Clary was stationed
at Juitly, near Chateau Thierry, but
was later transferred to the base hos
pital in Paris and promoted from the
rank of captain to major. Practically
all of the new methods Of surgery de-
veloped during the war may be applied
to peace-time practice, DR.. Clary says.
The Carroll Dakin method of treating
infections enables wounds to heal very
quickly, sometimes saving half the time
a wound would ordinarily require 10
heal, New methods developed for the
TRANSMISSION of blood and the grating
Of hone will be the means of saving
many a life and limb in peace-time ac-
invites. The paraffine treatment Of
but7ast has been almost UNIVERSAL,
adopted as the result of experienc,
gained In the war and will prove
blessing to many thousands suffering
from painful burns. The return Of
army physicians experienced in the USE
of the new methods, to all parts o.
the country will enable the new treat
inents TO become universally understood
and adopted by the medical profession
In a much shorter time than would
Re possible had it not been for the war
