OPEN-AIR TREATMENT FOR WOUNDS
EXPERIMENT PROVES THE GREATEST SUCCESS. (Rcc. June 22, 5.40 p.m.) London, June 21. The experiment of open-air treatment for wounds, tried at Cambridge, 'has proved tho greatest success. The wards wore wide open to the winds and the sun. It is recognised that it is not wounds themselves, but germs entering them, which kill. Out of 10,944 patients who were treated for septic wounds, tetanus, pneumonia, and typhoid in Flanders, only eighty-five died. —("Times" and Sydney "Sim" Services.)
