Soldiers Feel Wounds They LnfIict.

Mr. Arthur Macdonald of Washing
ton, honorary president of the Inter
national congress of criminal anthro-
pology, tells in the Medical Record
some of the oddities noticed in ner-
vosls soldiers. For instance:
One "who bayonets another in the
face may develop a hysterical tic in
his own face; one bayoneting enemies
In the abdomen may have abdominal
contractures in himself Hysterical
blindness may follow from seeing hor-
rible sights; hysterical deafness when
the cries Of the wounded are unbear-
able"
And he adds that in some of these
eases the only relief is real wound.
