More than a thousand army surgeons were given special two week courses of training in the Carrel-Dakin method at the Rockefeller Institute before being sent overseas; thousands of wounda that under old methods would have meant death or amputation were healed with the least possible reminders remaining to the victims.Under the direction of officers of the Medical Corps of the army remarkable advance* have been made in the use of the X-ray for the detection and exact location of foreign bodies. Not only does the perfected X-ray apparatus show bynnnfnrr mhr tKn ___on pumping, but the blood collects In tks large veins of the abdomen and the patient literally bleeds to death in his own veins.

This is accomplished by forcing the patient to breathe a mixture of air and carbon dioxide, administered a cleverly devised apparatus.

And before the United States had been in the war a year there had been developed a vaccine or serum against pneumonia, which holds every promise of accomplishing in the prevention of this disease what the anti-typhoid vaccine has done in its field.It is to the researches of the scientific staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research that this new prophylactic i? due, us well as many of the other remcrk-oble medical and surgical discoveries made during the war.
