Wound Comparisons.

In the South African war wounds were not so severe and there was less smashing than in the recent campaign, These bullets had frequently traveled for more than half a mile and lost much of their velocity, whereas In the present war the bullet travels only a few yards. The ordinary bullet wound of the South African war was quite small, as though It had been made with a bradawl. In the present war there la much more tearing of the tissues.
