JAPANESE SURGERY.

The Japanese, in the case of wounds on the field, simply apply first-aid bandages and antiseptics, leaving the serious work to be done in the hospitals at home. This is always done except where the condition is precarious, or where there is danger of the wounded man's bleeding to death. In one hospitalship returning to Japan there were twenty-two hundred wounded men, and there was not a single death on the trip. The Japanese have treated Russian prisoners similarly, and they also show many recoveries. As to the recuperative powers of the Japanese soldier, authorities agree that his plain and temperate habits account for it. The Turks also recover in a similar manner and for similar causes.—Christian Advocate.
