Abstract

The Russo-Japan war is likely to give us some additional points in regard to military medicine. The Japanese have shown themselves to be good scientific observers, and it will not be irrational to suppose that there are also equally competent ones in the Russian service. One rather important suggestive point has already been brought out by the report of Dr. H. D. Wilson of the gunboat<i>Vicksburg</i>in regard to the wounded in naval warfare. He was sent to aid in the care of the wounded of the<i>Variag</i>after her first engagement with the Japanese fleet and reports that notwithstanding the fact that the ships did not come into close contact and only the main batteries were used, the number of wounded on board that ship, well fitted as she was to care for the ordinary emergencies as it was supposed, proved her arrangements for medical and surgical care
