Guiding Mexico turns up third

States Venomous bites caused 81
deaths in 1850, but a number of
these were inflicted by spiders
and scorpions. The last two areas
in the Survey are Europe with
50 fatalities yearly and Oceania

In Africa, the annual figure is
believed to be between 400 and

however, that "it is difficult to
make even an approximate esti-

County Doctors
OF The US. Navy
On Small Ships

One of the most solitary things
in the world is a ship at sea and
the smaller, the ship the more soli-
tary it seems especially to those
aboard her. Sickness or accidents
occurring while a vessel is far
from land are happenings greatly
feared by all mariners, but in our
Navy we have the shadow of she'll
and torpedo, too. In carriers and
battlewagons, Navymen are pro-
vided with the most advanced med
ical facilities where large staffs of
doctors and corpsmen stand by to
render aid when bomb or sickness
strike. But in the little warshipS,
our destroyer Navy, there is not
room aboard for the wards and
rooms full of medical equipment.
These vessels often have too small
a complement to warrant medi-
cal officer and all space is occu-
pied with weapons and men, yet
the hospital corpsmen who man
the tiny sickbays of our destroy
ers and minesweepers must carry
the same responsibility as that of
a carrier doctor. With their small
store of drugs and indications,
knowledge and experience, they
must stand between the health of
the crew and disease or the effect
of gunfire. The calm, efficient
wards of a hospital ship can be as
remote as the moon if a plague
should beset the crew. The doctor
may be only a helicopter trip a
way, but a man can bleed to death
in few minutes. The destroyer
docs" job is to be the doctor until
the doctor comes.
Dale A. Bullock, hospital corps
man first class, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William H. Bullock of Ala
N. Fourth ST., Jeanette, Pa, and
John Viola, hospital corpsman third
class, son of Mrs. Oma Viola of
514 Grape ST., Vineland, N. J., are
the sea-going country doctors for

bell. Either one of them, with
arms outstretched can nearly
touch the limits of their sick bay.
Both of these men have been
trained for their work and pick
ed for their ability to carry the
responsibility of keeping this de-
stroyer's crewmen on their feet.
Much of their duty involves the
usual round of ills from finger
cuts to stomach aches. These are
disposed of at morning "sick call, +"
after which time their major task
begins. Preventive medicine is
practiced intensively aboard the
Isbell. Cleanliness and safety are
paramount in their considerations
and they are merciless toward the
messman with dirty hands or the
seaman grinding steel without gog-
giles. Dirt is their constant enemy
Continuous inspections assure that
no germs find homes in hidden
filth. With an eye for cleanliness
they patrol the ship daily, watch
ing cooks and their utensils in
order to keep food poisoning from
affecting the crew. Insects come
under attack also, and are hunted
down with insecticide bombs and
driven from the ship.
When a seriously injured pilot
whose plane has missed a carrier
landing was brought to them, their
reputation hung in the balance
The eyes of all the crew, from the
skipper on down, were on them as
they swung into action. The pilot
suffered a broken hip and wounds
about the face, the latter a mass
of blood. The corpsmen quickly
went to work controlling hemor.
