Shock following operation took a large toll of death in former wars. The replacement of body fluids by blood transfusions and intravenous injections of saline and glucose have made operations much safer than they ever have been at any former period. Altogether the medical pros- pects of the soldier were never bet- ter. The Allied forces have medical officers the equal at least of the Hitler army. They can be relied on to do thir part. By J. W. S. McCullough, M.D., D.P.H. Brain and chest surgery has made great strides since 1914. Operations on the brain formerly thought im- possible are now a matter of routine for the brain specialist. Another new drug, sulfanilamide, has proved very valuable in the treatment of a variety of infections. In the last war, “deaths from wounds” ranked highest while “deaths from diseases,” were the lowest. Tetanus, always a danger to the wounded man, may now be prevent- ed by the use of tetanus toxoid, supâ€" plemented: by the army practice of the liberal use of tetanus antitoxin. Pneumonia, the world’s fourth killer for many years, has in civil life been reduced in mortality from 25 to 8%. The more universal use of dagenan (sulfapyridine) will doubtless still further lessen the fa- tality from this affection; In the Hitler War the medical forces are looking forward to an even better prospect. Men as re- gards their original fitness, are be- ing more carefully selected. Pre- ventive measures will be intensified and surgery has adivanced in a re- markable fashion in the last 25 years. MEDICAL PROSPECTS OF HITLER‘S WAR Until the time of the World War the fatalities from disease were vastly greater than those caused by the enemy. In the Boer War the British deaths from typhoid fever alone were much greater than from the bullets of the notable fighters of the voldt. In the Great War the deaths from typho.d fever and other infections were neg.igible. This was due to the preventive precautions taken by the Allied forces. Inocu- lation against smallpox, typhoid fev- er and tetanus as well as better treatment of wounds served to mini- mize the fatalities. Many men, seri- ously wounded, Were again and again returned to the trenches. THURSDAY, AUGUST lst, 1940. Men’s and Boys Furnishings Boots and Shoes RADIO REPAIRS Yonge and Richmond Sts.

WILEY HOUSE SOLD RICHMOND HILL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ST. MARY’S CHURCH RICHMOND HILL (Anglican) Playing in Newmarket tonight, Aurora and Newmarket will decide a winner to continue against the winner of the Barrie-Richmond Hill series. The Richmond Hill management protested the game and at a league executive meeting that evening the game was thrown out and Richmond Hill enters the play-offs in_first~ place. The locals play the first game in Barrie tonight and the next two games, if necessary, will be played in Richmond Hill next Tuesday and Thursday evenings, starting at 7.15 The Barrie team, on the night’s play, were the superior team and were able to handle any chances the local team had in getting out in front. Stong, pitching for Richmond Hill, was taken out in the fifth inn- ing in favor of Bennett who never allowed Barrie anorher run. But the damage had been done and Bar- rie were the winners. Richmond Hill Newmarket Barrie Aurora . According to the local lady’s story; two parties robed as nuns were rid- ing in the same coach as her friend, whose child, losing its ball, the mo- ther joined in the search and during the hunt was surprised to find the feet of the supposed two nuns cased in heavy men’s shoes, and having read of Nazi spies donning clerical robes and the garbs of nuns in France the better to throw off sus- picion, lost no time in reporting the matter stealthin to the conductor. 0n the train reaching Toronto the pair were taken into custody and she later learned they were being held as alien suspects in the Queen City. A Walkerton merchant’s wife tells of a rather startling occurrence a friend of hers had on the train the other day, and which'resulted in the arrest of two alien suspects as they were about to step from a C.P.R. flier at Toronto. With first place at stake in the standing Barrie ana Richmond Hill locked horns on Tuesday evening last before a record crowd. This game meant plenty to both teams as the one‘ finishing on top in the schedule has the advantage of extra home games in all play-offs.
