manitarian point Of view: it was tense1y crit
ical one from military aspect. The great
military essential of the World War was man
power. The general stats had seen that early
in the conflict. They had estimated their
human resources with mathematical precision,
and, based upon the results of former wars,
knew to nicely the percentage of killed and
wounded from engagements, and the percent
age Of requirements that might be expected
from the recovered wounded, within certain
given time after disqualification. The replace
ments from wounded during the Civil, Franco
Prussian, Boer and Jap-Russ wars had aver
aged about 902o within six weeks after battle.
The general stats thought they could expect
at least that and more during this war, con-
sidering the advancements made in surgical
science since then. They had made all their
plans accordingly. But these former wars
had all been fought in open country without
trenches, upon fresh terrain-far away from
congested populations and their attendant mi
crobes. Instead of ninety out of every hun
dred wounded being dismissed within reason
able time from the hospitals for return to the
lines as fully recovered, the general stats were
astounded to discover that it was less than
twenty-five. You can understand the dismay
that this fact created when you realize that in
some operations there were as many as $4,000
wounded in single day and when you realize
that the drafts were taking on every sufficient
ly matured man. It was becoming necessary
to draw on the adolescent youth Of the war
ring countries!

Small wonder then that the heroic soldier,
who had met German shock troops with dis
dainful smile Of defiance, resistlessly gave up
the ghost before such an overpowering foe.

A Fearful Crisis

Never in the record Of military history had
general staff been confronted by more
fearful crisis. It was an attack from the rear
that was far worse than that of the enemy in
front. The war against germs became more
serious conflict that the war against the Ger
mans. Something had to be done to stop this
defamation from infection.
The medical stats of all tie armies were
urged to find something that would control
this fearful enemy. Someone remembered
the Little Surgeon" and his surgical sleight-
of-hand during the days of peace, and he
One can well imagine the scene: "Can nothing
be done to stop this pestilence? Can notscience
find way?" And the Little Surgeon" answer
ing, just as the prophet of his craft, Pasteur,
would have answered, had he been there: ITO
science nothing is impossible, Mais il faut
TRAVELLER (but we must work."
So the Little Surgeon" went to work. The
twelve great labors of Hercules are trivial in
comparison. He solicited the help of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
It is to the everlasting credit Of that institu-
ton that it responded to his call with generous
endowments Of money. equipment and assist
ants. This problem required painstaking ex-
tPsAAiiCIldl1Oli III lWO OISliiiSI branches OF
science: bacteriology and chemistry. He
therefore selected as a co-worker certain world
famous English chemist from Leeds, who was
an outstanding authority in the field Of anti
septics. The "Little Surgeon" brought out
his microscopes and guinea pigs, and went
back to his microbes, cells and tissues. The
English chemist took up the task of searching
the whole realm of chemistry to find chemical
or combination Of chemicals that they could
adapt to create the Ideal Antiseptc. eve

The Surgeons ProblemI

Every known drug, chemical and method
was employed to rid the soldier Of his infec-
tons. 1t is one thing to disinfect room or
sterilize an instrument or to remove germs
from an inanimate object; it is different
problem to penetrate into the vitals Of man or
the hidden recesses of suppurating wound.
They turned to antiseptics. They found
little or no help from what they had or knew
about. Medical Science had two types Of an
tiseptics: One was the mild, non-poisonous
type; this type was rather an aseptic than an
antiseptic: that's, twas weak and question
able preventive; all it did was to make the
wound an unpleasant resting place for the
wandering microbe; but if the microbe did
stop and make his home there and begin rails
ing his myriad family, it could do nothing to
preventit! The other type was the poisonous
disinfectant, and, though it might kill germs, it
would alsodestroy flesh and tissues:its use was
merely the substitution of devouring chemical
for devouring bug. It was impossible to in
troduce these tissue-corroding poisons into
gaping wounds. If used in sufficient strength
to destroy germs they would also cat through
the flesh, membranes and tissues to destroy
vital cells and organs and create other compI-
cations that were as bad, if not worse, than the
infection itself. In permissible dilutions,
these poisons became Indispensable and in
effective.
And so the poor, wounded soldier would lie
there helpless, breeding place for the pro-
life pestilential germs! A scientist took the
pains to compute the rapidity Of germ multi
plication and made this astounding announce
ment: That it took 100000 germs to
weigh one grain; but that given sufficient food
and enough room, a germ colony weighing one
grain could develop and breed itself into
mammoth horde weighing 800 tons in three
days!

Wars Greatest Victory

Immediately the percentage Of amputations
and deaths dropped to an unheard of SUBJ
normal minimum. From the hospitals began to
come steady stream of resuscitated soldiers
eager to resume their place in the field with re-
newed vigor. The darkest phase of the war had
turned, practically over night, into sunrise of
victory! s..
All honor to the Little Surgeon'-and his
co-Worker the Chemist!
Is there greater war story than this? Is
there anywhere in the archives of history or
in the folios of fable the recruitment of such
an achievement of lives saved by the hundreds
of thousands, of hope restored, of conquest
over sonumerous and overpowering an enemy?
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-11-28

TIVE Little Surgeon, "before thewar,
i in New York City had been working
away in the laboratories of the Rookie
Teller Institute for Medical Research. He
had put himself to the astonishing task
of ascertaining the secret of human life
and had begun by experiments upon cells
and tissues, with microbes and guinea
pigs. He was making one discovery after
another, and presented them to the
startled but incredulous scientific world.
For while they considered the wizardry
of his work as clever sleight-of-hand per-
formances, and nothing more. But with
his legerdemain he showed how he could
transfuse the life-blood of the hale and
hearty into the anaemic bodies Of the
dying-and snatch them from yaWning
graves; he showed how he could artificial
1y keep tissues and cells indefinitely alive
in simple solution of his making, so that
some of the lay writers of the day an
nounced that he had achieved the i'm
mortality of human flesh; he showed how
he could graft limbs and organs from one
living body on to another without arrest
ing or impeding their functions.
For time science looked on as one might
at Houdin scrambling an egg in a plug hat.
Some of the more dubious of the Thomases
would say: 1t is all very amusing; but you
know, it's just scientific buffoonery." In 1912,
he received the Nobel Prize for Medicine as
having made the greatest medical contribution
during the year to the benefit of mankind,
and they paid more attention to his magic
after that.
And then, the World War came. The
Little Surgeon" left his laboratory, his mi
croscopes, his cells, tissues and guinea pigs,
and went over to do his bit.
