Macdonald, son of Mr. D. ll. Macdon. aid, North Bedeque. Previous to en- listing for the front Dr. Macdonald was Assistant Surgeon in Overlook Hospital, and the letter was published in the Summet Herald. The Guard- ian is indebted for the copy to a re- , lative of Dr. Macdonald in Sourisz- France. March 19, 1915. So good of you to write me such a nice long letter filled with so much cheery news and good wishes. There is n little lull in the work today and I felt, as I had a little time, I would give you some sort of an idea. what work I am doing. The Clearing Hos- pital or as it is now called "Casualty Clearing Station" is thc first hospital behind the firing line and is usually about 6 to 8 miles away. out of shell range as a rule. Buildings, suitable for our work are taken over in the town located and we set up shop. A short description of what we did when we located here and -of a day’g rou- tine will give you a better idea than discussing a. Casirilty Clearing Sta- tion in general. Imagine a small French town of 10.000 to 12,000 about six miles from the nearest trenches. Wearrived at 2.30 p. ni. and took over a large col- lege building (boarding school). We at once set to work to clean it up and we had to hustle as we had orders that the next day we would be receiv- ing a convoy of patients (a motor- ambulance convoy consisting ot’ 50 motor cars is attached to each Casu- alty Clearing Station). A convoy brings in anywhere from 200 to 300 patients, depending on the class of wounded (sitting or lying down). The Army Service Corps were called upon and they came along and in a “coup d' cell" we had the whole building washed, scrubbed, and whiiewasheil from top to bottom and say, il. sure needed it. We do not carry beds (unless we find them in the building or they are given by the town) but use stretch- ers which we set on folding irestles and of these we have 500 or more. Be- sides we carry 100 or more “palms- cs," simply bcdticks which it' needed we fill with straw. There are 8 medi- cal oflicers of us, with 80 men and 5 nurses. Each ofllcer has, so to speak, a certain department to look after, for instance I have charge of all the surgery but as it is all surg- ery, I do the major work. Thus the first thing l did was to pick out my operating room and set it up. I can do this now in 2 to 3 hours and be prepared at the end of that time, to do anything culled upon, in fact at this particular place l have an excep- tionally line room and I am sure it would surprise you to see it. l don’t think that Overlook in its palmiest days, as I knew lt, was any better. To make a long story short, we were prepared the morning after we arrived. to receive patients and to re- ceive them in zl good. clean hospital. Remember if wc had arrived when there were an exceptionally strong nc- tion taking place and found several hundred wounded to be dressed we would simply open up a dressing room and go right to work but as we had 12 hours in this case io prepare, we made things as good as possible. l will give you a short description of my operating room and equipment and as the rest of the hospital is ac- cordingly. you can see just what we are working with. l have a portable sterilizer (gasoline) with a sterile water tank, an instrument Sterilizer and a dressing sterillzer all on one frame. This is light and easily car- ried, I keep the case to carry it in so when I come to pack for a move 1 have everything at hand. Besides the dressing sterllizer on this sterilizer, l have an Arnold steam kettle for dress- ings. heated by a small oil stove. a light. good operating table, a 8000 lighting outfit, all instruments neces- sary, rubber gloves galore. EOWIIS. towels, sheets etc., etc. We sterllizo all our own goods. make all sponges. etc. -The surgery perhaps. is m01‘@ antiseptic than aseatlc but there are many hospitals in ondon whose op- erating room is not one whit better than what we can produce. Tables. etc., are always improvised and a liberal use of whitewash to the walls and paint to tables. stools. etc.. make a good appearance besides being sanitary. Now l will try to give you an idea of a day's work. To begin wlth_ our watch words are "evacuation’ and "improvisatlon." I can improvise al- most anything. We have to evacuate our patients as much as possible and from here they go to the ambulance team and then down the line of com- -::::::~‘-“1 -‘-‘S-`-'-‘rf-` -‘- I-‘fff_1*-'-_-‘::::.-:_-_-:::_-.~,-_-:_-_-_-:_~:,-_-,-_~,~.-_-_-.~::_~,-;_-,-a- -ff: -_-_-,-_-,-_-_-_-_-_-¢ up ..°l‘l' PAYS to buy in this Province ,,,¢oNE CENT per word each ln- S U 'E i ' --- sertlon for adve i ' . agent in Montague. - .? | ..*A8KED T0 REMAIN. _ A full ..*Mlss Mabel Seaman has return- representation of the Q. 0.

The operations we do. then, you can imagine, are mostly head and abdominal cases with u few bladder wounds. but head and ub- domlnal predominate. Amputatlons' are not so common as you would' think here because if we are busy those can for the most port be evacu- ated. but if of 24 to 48 hours duration we occasionally get gangerene but we ha.ven’t had so much -of that oflatei as in the beginning. Now as to a day’s work. Imagine a large building on a narrow cobble- stone street. Two whistles blow and we know a convoy is arriving. These dray up at the door in n. long string. The officer of the day (we take turns) examines the patients superilcially as they are being brought in and directs where to send them. All wounded ure sent or carried into the dressing room where everyone is ready wait- ing to dress them and give them anti- septic serum (every wounded sold- ier gets anti-tetanus serum) if they have not received it at the ilehl am- bulance and if not rushed the field ambulances give nearly all the serum. As soon as the patients are dressed, if an operation is needed a slip mark- ed "anaesthetic" is pinned on their coats and these are sent- to :he op- erating ward. If urgent they are pre- pared at once in the dressing room where the head is shaved if necessary or abdomen painted with iodine, etc.. and they are at once put on the table. lf not so urgent. we try and give them n. couple of hours’ sleep before operating and of course all the Tom- mles are given n “fag” to smoke and 1 can assure you a cigarette is better as an amalgesic than all the morphine on earth. Oflicers wounded are taken direct to ofilcers' ward where they are at once attended to or if they have any sort of o decent dressing on, are re- dressed and given a few hours sleep. As soon as they are dressed they are given something hot as a bowl of bovril or hot soup and then they are arriving at any old time but if ii is let sleep. lf we are having a busy day and there is more than the usual trench sniping going on, these convoys keep simply an ordinary day (in which we handle 150 to 200 per day) these con- voys generally come in the A. M. and we operate in P. M., but if there is an exceptional action as we had about a week ago the operating room is kept going all the time and in be- tween cases I go out and do dressings in the dressing room or work with post operative cases in the wards and believe me. when we are busv it is some bedlam. To put through 4100 gases in 6 days is going some and have 5 to 10 operations in the 24 hours. All cases (except operative) that come in like today are sent down the line in next day's ambulance train and we are cleaned out and ready for a fresh supply. I have had some interesting cases to date especially head cases. I pick- ed out a bullet from the lateral sinus and in another dissected 2 inches out of the superior longitudinal sinus, while ln another l resected nearly all of one occipital lobe, etc. Our abdominal cases we leave alone if at all possible. but believe me it ls in these cases where judgment comes in, it is very difficult in the majority ol cases to say whether to open up or not and lt is remarkable how many get well by doing nothing except rectal feeding. Wounds of the liver we leave alone unless bleeding to death. These law terse descriptions ZBENBEY- Ciga;r;sM_ ‘ Phone 404- 1 C.

Talk as you muy, the British Tommy is thc greatest lighter in the world. I-lc muy not he as good perhaps ns n few 'others ou the oileuslvc but when ll comes to defensive work they have no superior. For instance the 7l.h Division under llawllnson who landed at Ostcnd in October to go to the relief oi' Ant- werp and who fought n rear guard action across Belgium, tnkim: up at stand at Ypres. Mind you out of that 30,000, only 2,500 came out alive, while the Germans had 200,000 or more against them. ’l‘o date that. is without doubt, the greatest bil of fighting that hisiory has ever record- ed, and they did it without a line of communication of any sort. Everyone, officers, men and officers' servants fired rifles until they burnt their hands. lt has always been so, the Brltlsher never knows when he is licked. I will indeed hc glad to get back and sec you nll, but as you say, if is going to be a long, long walt and good- ness knows. it already seems ages since I put on khaki. but then I would not have missed it for worlds.
