. PARIS, Dec. Dr. Doyen, the famous Prnis Mirgeon, lias
lieeii doing a wonderful work among the wounded in the hos
pitals scattered throughout the northwest section of I'Yaneo,
known officially as the 10th Army Corps region, of wliit-IHic i
in charge.
Ho returned to Paris yesterday after an exhausting tour
af the hospitals, satisfied that the work of receiving the wound
id and treating then.lieally and surgically is now in good
order.
“His energy was amazing,” said a surgeon who accom
panied him yesterday. “In thirty six hours wv p rformed
i;t<) operations, nearly all of a erilieal character. In one hos
pital we found a man with a terrible hole in his face. A snr
geon was vainly endeavoring to stop the hemorrhage from a
severed artery. ‘We must tie the carotid artery,’ -aid Dr.
Doyen. In five minutes lie Imd done it and the man is now lin
ing fine.”
“Hut Dr. Doyen's greatest work for the wounded has been
in his treatment of tetanus. He has reversed the figures of
mortality. Whereas SO per cent, of the tetanus victims died.
80 per cent, are saved.”
