Will your boy get good medical care in the

be reasonably sure that he will never get the
Yellow Jack that made feverish wrecks of so
many men in 50 many wars
Against the diseases 50 far mentioned the
soldier has more or less positive protection.
Meanwhile, the Army has plans for making
war on any Others that might crop up. 1t has
organized eight commissions, each working on
specific disease problem. Top-notch research
men serve on these commissions In case any
disease breaks in epidemic proportions a
qualified commission can dive into the prob

skeletal injuries resulting from the beating
men take IN these iron war horses.
New surgical advances are available to save
tremendous numbers of lives. Brain surgery
has grown up since the Last war. Deft tech
niques have been devised to treat nearly
every type of injury. Dr. H. Winnett Orr. of
Lincoln, Nebraska, for instance, has devised
new treatment for compound fractures -

one of the oommonest of war injuries, and
formerly one of the most serious. In the last
war one out of every seven men with COM
pound fracture died. These are the fractures
where bones pierce skin. such wounds being
invitations to infection. In the past, treatment
has been a horrendous affair. The strongest

wounds painlessly - and rapidly.

General Magee has seen to it that the Army
has outstanding equipment. The new mobile
surgical units, for example, consist of Ia
trucks each. Seven of these are Ideally

front have facilities usually found only in the

sterilizing and X-ray equipment These high
speed outfits can roll with the mechanized
divisions, ready to wheel into action any
where. The Army is also building hospital
trains - 32-bed ward cars, diet-kitchen cars,
persoma and record cars.
All these Innovations have had tremendous
effect on Army health - an effect that will
be more marked a. time goes on. Look at q
few figures to appreciate the condition of the
Army today. During the Spanish American
War one out of every 20 soldiers contracted
typhoid fever. Ten per cent of these died.
During the first half of last year there were
only three cases in the entire Army - and no
deaths.
Last year there were only one-tventieth
as many pneumonia deaths as in 1917, and
only one eighth a. much tuberculosis. The
$1,000 cases of flu that occurred last year
were treated 50 promptly and thoroughly
that deaths were kept at minimum - out
of this large group only four died.
Before the war is over it is likely that
General Magee win be Individually respon-
sible for the health of more men than any
other person in history And doubts about
the quality of this care should be banished.
As far as health il concerned, your son. hus-
band or brother is undoubtedly better off in
the Army than he would be at home. His
smallest needs will get instant attention. In
case of major illness or major injury he will
get type of care unexcelled in the nations

WHEN he received his appointment as
Surgeon General in 1899 he had corps of
100 doctors under him. BY the end of the
year he will have 5000. as well as 10000
nurses. They represent the best-trained. best
equipped medical corps that ever accompa-
MED troops to war.
The Surgeon General can't, of course, guar
antee that soldiers won't be wounded. But
once they are wounded he is prepared to
provide magnificent care. Ample oonirma-
ton for this statement came at Pearl Harbor
Ambulanoes brought in wounded at a rate
surprising anything seen in 1918. The situa-
ton looked hopelessly bleak. But doctors
went to work with confidence. They had
plasna to fight shock - plasma collected
from blood donors by the Red Cross - and
the sulfa drugs to fight infection. Thanks to
them. doctors were able to hang up shining
