 At the start of every voyage hospital corpsmen administer ty- phoid, smallpox, tetanus and ty- phus inoculations if needed and are also prepared to immunize against yellow fever, cholera and malaria prophylaxis. Upon ar rival at destination, they assist quarantine officials.
 Fifty men a week enter the school; 40 are pursers given leaves of absence by shipping lines and ten are trainees.
 By lectures, motion pictures, field trips and actual practice they are trained in human anat- omy and physiology; hygiene, nursing, pharmacy, emergency treatment including plasma and the miracle drugs, sulfa and pen icillin.
 To complete their medical training, they get four weeks of practical hospital training.

 Only One of its Kind
 The hospital corps phase of the school is the only training of it's kind in the world in any maritime service.
 On Liberty ships, freigh'ers and tankers, the hospital corps -purser must frequently work alone without the advice of doc tors. On other vessels, such as transports, there may be several corpSmen or pharmacists mates.
 The hospital corps school open ed Dec. ', l942, to fill a vital war time need. At the outset, mer- chant seaman casualties were six times as frequent as those to Navy personnel.
 Volunteers entering Maritime training stations may apply for advanced training as a pharma- cist's mate-junior assistant purs- CT, instead of choosing deck or engine schools.

of the Medical College of Virginia

the soldier remained at the front.
Still unwilling to give up and not
knowing what allied him, the soldier
finally was referred to a general
hospital the following September
when he was unable to perform
combat duties. x-ray examination
revealed a small shell fragment near
the base Of the hearts right auricle
and buried inches beneath the
skin. As the heart beat, the shell
fragment moved with it.
The surgeons recognized several
immediate dangers involved, one
being that the shell fragment might
work its way into the heart itself

Sasebo, Big Jap Base
Raked in By Raid,
Is Within Easy Range

Sasebo, target for the second at
tack of Americas B-29 Super For
tresses, ranks at or close to the top
among the several naval arsenals
and bases developed by Japan since
it embarked on a naval expansion
program in 1882, says the National
Geographic Society.
A city of more than 10000, Sase-
bo is at Japan's southwestern cor
ner, on the island of Kyushu. 1t has
an excellent, sheltered POSITION on
one of the many small bays on the
northwestern arm of Kyushu. The
bay opens to the south and is pro-
tected by wooded islands and hills
on the other three sides.
Together with the industrial city
of NagaSaki, IS miles south, Sase-
bo is most accessible OF Hirohito's
strongholds to the reported posi-
ton of B-29 take-off fields in
China's hinterland. Chungking is
less than 1,40O miles west-perhaps
three to four hour flight.
The steel center of Yawata, also
target of the second B-29 attack,
as it was on June Is, lies 80 miles
northeast of SaSebo. Tokyo is 600
miles away slightly north of east.
Sasebo base is about $500 miles
north of the site of the recent
American air attack on a section
of the japanese fleet. Saipan is L.
600 miles from the base.
A small fishing village in Admiral
Matthew c. Perry's day, Sasebo was
selected in the early 1880s to be
one of the naval bases to supple
ment the empires chief base at
Yokosuka in Tokyo Bay Frequent
reports since World War have
indicated extensive development of
Sasebo, but tourists of the 1920s and
1930s were skillfully steered away
from the region of the base.
