A REMARKABLE CASE REPORT.
You asked me to give you a report of that case of the wounded soldier.
Mr. B., wounded in Argonne; wounded in both limbs; all wounds healed except Anterior Right Tibia. This limb was fractured by high explosive shell. Would not respond to any treatment administered by army surgeons, although he had the best both in France and in the United States.
When this case came to me, the wound was supperating badly. I cleaned the wound and applied Dionol and instructed it be changed every 3 or 4 hours. Patient has used one jar and started on the second, and I am glad to say, is doing far better than we expected. The inflammation was out in two days. Granulation is almost complete,-no discharge whatever. Believe he will be completely well in a few days. Lab. examination of smear revealed pus cells in quantity; Streptococcus and Staphylococcus numerous,-no T.B.
Very truly yours,
(signed) Dr. FW Wells.
July 31st., Dr. Wells reports;-
"The wound is completely healed and the case discharged. Only one jar and part of another was used."
