I SHELL-SHOCKED
BEING CURED
A CHATEAU IN LORRAINE, '.July
II (by mail).- American soldiers suf
fering from shell shock now are hur
! ried in the shortest possible time to
1 a base hospital established here for
the special treatment of such cases.
The element of time is regarded by
the specialists attached to this hos
pital as of prime importance. Efforts
are made to deliver such cases to the
hospitals within forty-eight hours
after the first symptoms develop. A
special ambulance service has been
organized for that purpose. Once
here, the shocked soldier remains here
until the treatment of his case is fin
ished.
If the nervous trouble of a patient
results from concussion or from the
strain of service it is curable here.
If it is not curable it is because the
case was not brought here soon enough
or because It had a chronic founda
tion before the patient went into the
army. Nervous symptoms resembling
j what has been called shell shock have
; developed under the simple strain of
j service in soldiers who have never
I heard a shell explode.
! Base Hospital 117 treats both these
! aspects of war neurosis, and only ac
cording to the highest standards of
neurological science. Hypnosis is
seldom used. No dangerous experi
ments are allowed, and Isolation Is
not followed excepting as simple ward
routing. The patients are kept to
gether and the nurses are kept with
them, giving their company as well
us their experienced care, and both
are part of the cure,
j The patients themselves, when they
have recovered sufficiently, become
ex officio members of the staff; they
co-operate with the doctors and
nurses in helping the other boys out
of their muddled condition of mind
and their unsteady state of nerves
The most obvious part of the treat
ment is the use of tools or the in
struments of sport. A shaking hand
that is unable to retain anything in it
gradually steadies with patient grip
ping exercise, and this method has
the advantage of occupying the mind
while it re-educates the hand.
One boy whose head and hands
were shaking constantly was seen
weaving things out of dyed ends of
string on a loom made for him out
of odds and ends of lumber by other
patients. Through his attention to
the work and by the growing firmness
ol grip he is obtaining through prac
tice he is gaining control of his nerves
and will be cured in a few days. A
machine shop with turning lathes, a
tailoring Bhop and the ambulance ]
garage furnish occupations for many.
AH cases of palsy and paralysis re
sulting from concussion are cured
here when taken in time. A boy who
was brought in with a pnralyzed leg
is now walking around the grounds
after a week of treatment. Defects
ot speech are the most difficult fuses;
the treatment Is longer and requires
greater pains, but they yield to it
finally.
