In some experiments with bul wounds it was determined that when a hollow organ, such as the stomach, is perforated by a bullet it sustains more damage if it contains fluid than if empty. The author fired a bullet at a sheep's stomach, in the one case when it was full of in the other case when it was em with following results: The in each wall of the empty organ was 0.2 inches; the aperture in the first wall of the full stomach was also 0.2 inches, but that in the second wall was 0.7 inches. From this it follows that a man hit after a full meal would have less chance of recovery than had this occurred when the organ was empty.
