WAR SURGERY
ADDS MUCH TO SCIENCE

Instead Of the smooth path OF n bullet
the surgeon has to deal with fragments
OF shells, grenahes. torpedoes and shrap-
mel. Each of these carries into the
wound bits OF clothing, which is always
dirty; particles OF earth. hair. splinters
and even small pebbles, which are AL
most certain to set up immediate in
lection.
The necessity for immediate treatment
les chiefly in the form of the wounds. A
shell fragment bruises and mangles the
flesh, causing what rapidly becomes de al
tissue and forming nest for infection,
To apply a rough temporary dressing 10
a cavity filled with torn and ragged It's
sue foreign matter. dirt. metal splinters
and coagulated blood is absolutely use
less.
No matter how literally the wounded
man may be douChed with iodine it can
not penetrate all the recesses of such
wound. and the inevitable result is in
lection, which II may take months TO
eradicate II the patient survives.
The New Way Real Revolution.
The modern surgeon proceeds upon
the theory that he is as much of a SOL
der as the man with the gun and that
whether he il in a front line hospital or
nifty miles back Of the firing line his
duty is to do his best. He has thrown
antiseptics to the dogs, During the
early stages OF the war they were in
universal use now they are studiously
avoided. In 1914 every wound was
douched with every variety of antiseptic
liquid now all wounds are kept as dry
as possible and the gauzc drain has sup
planted all others.
The idea that there Is not time or that
the surgeon has not the nerve to oper
ate under fire is exploded. lie starts
upon the assumption that every wound
which is not made by the clean cut
track of rifle or machine gun bullet is
| contaminated and the first thing no does
! is to open It up so completely as to eX-
pose the entire cavity. Every particle
of foreign matter is then removed and
/ any tissue that looks as II II might die
| and slough away is cut out
The old method Of treating the en-
/ trance and exit of pro1eCtile by en-
larging them as little as possible and
passing drain through is obsolete. In
/ stead OF that the surgeon makes liberal
/ inCision, long and wide enough to search
| the recess and traumatism thoroughly.
The greatest departure from the old
text books lies IN the recommendation
for thu front line surgeon 10 do his
work thoroughly and to lay open the
wound rather too much than too little.
This insures the patient against infec-
ton in case II should he ten days or
two weeks before he arrives at the base
/ hospital
If his wounds have not been sub
, jectcd TO n careful and thorough clean
ing by the front line surgeon by the

Among the many changes which the
war has brought about 1t looks as If one
Of the most important would be COM
pete revision of our present text books
for army surgeons. and the introduction
OF new methods of treasing ragged
wounds, whether Ia military or domestic
life.
Doctors at the front have found that
the engines of modern warfare asphyX-
iating gases. fame projectors, tear shells
and the incessant crash Of artillery fire.
produce conditions in the wounded never
before known Shock. eXhaltation, Juror
and decentralization and such abnormal
symptoms frequently make the employ
ment of any anesthetic dangerous.
DR. r. Sherwood Dunn, who was him
self wounded at the front. relates the
case of an officer who was brought into
the front line hospital with a slight frac-
ture OF the forehead but suffering from
profound shock. He was nut to bed
with first aid dressing without admin
isterinE any anRsthetic. Later. when he
was anRsthized. he developed a state
OF extreme exhaltation, calling upon his
men to charge, and urging them on with
cries OF encouragement and patriotic
fervor."
Gas Gnngrene Developed.
Almost without exception. all the doc

OF men lost their lives or limbs through

During the early stages of the war Il
was the universal opinion OF army sur
geons that operations could not be per-
formed in the war zone, If the standard
text books and records Of past wars are
consulted 1t will be found they pre-
scribe that no operating shall be done in
field hospitals, This ruling was based
on the fact that the majority OF the
