, returned to America on the same trans
port .with Colonel Pierce liallcy, who
, had charge of the ncrvo cases nmong
'tho American soldiers. He told mo
that the service of thousands of men
in the Kngllsh nrmy had been lost
because the Kngllsh medical department
Iupcrslsted in treating shell-shock with
jjFmcdlcal science instead of combating it
jjruii ineir Knowledge ot psychology.
Shell-shock begins in this way. The
h Soldier has been under terrific strain
for some tinie, and possibly without
j sufficient nourishment. His mind Is in
i iO kind of mess, when he happens near
7.an exploding shell. A splash of dirt
, may sling him on the arm. In his cur
ious mental state the sudden shock of
i the thundering shell makes him think
'he's been hit. And he won't believe
.otherwise. He Von't be able to move'
;that arm simply because he believes be
.can't.
! Praises French Doctors
J V'Now the very worst way to treat
such a case is to let the patient believe
5.you think there's something really the
j matter with his arm. If you do his
, .uiraiai uuuuuiuu grows worse anu
worse.
- "The French doctors have developed
f their treatment of shell-shock far be
2 yond any others. Suppose a shell-
shocked pollu believes he can't use his
s leg.. The French physicians go about
.tVe treatment of it In this way:
"They send that pollu to a station
'j.nrhere they sco to It that he hears all
" sorts of rumors of the wonderful work
such and such a doctor is doing with
- shell-shocks. Perhaps a soldier breezes
In and joyfully tells how he liad gone
-j queer in the head and had only been
with that wonderful doctor up in the
mountains for a few days before he was
well again. And another who couldn't
move an arm before, rushes in with
a story of how that remarkable doctor
made his arm move in a day.
I
"Well,1 the pollu who couldn't move
his leg sooh is stuffed so full of this
sort of thing by jnen who moro than
llkclt nre 'nlnnlji' with considerable
theatrical ability that he's just burning
Inside to see this wonderful doctor Him
self. Ho asks to bo allowed to go to
him.
Looks Like Resort
"The hospital doesn't look like a
hospital at all. It's more like n pleas
ure resort. The poilu Is taken into
the office of the remarkable doctor, who
immediately begins his little fame of
bull throwing. He Insists that the
pollu is just as fit as anybody In the
room and that ho really should bo
ashamed to stay away from the front
on the shallow pretense that he cant
move a leg, when his comrades are in
the midst of danger, courageously fight
ing. 'You can move your leg I Just
walk across the room and seq If you
can't V Of course, the pollu limps.
n..f n(ii. n llfHi. more talk by the doc
tor and after the pollu's mind is turned
somewhat away from the sunject oi
leg the poilu has to try to walk again.
This time he walks n little better.
"'Seel' the doctor yells, 'you can
walk just as well as I enn, If you only
wanted to. Here, meet Sergeant So-nnd-Sol"
"And the doctor introduces the poilu
to a "noncommissioned officer, who,
without any more ado, makes a dive at
the pollu's leg and begins forcing it to
move.
Sergeant Lends Aid
" 'There!' from the doctor, 'the
sergeant can move it for you. So
could you move it, if you wnnted to
bad enough!' And the sergeant con
tinues to maul and work the leg up.
and down, and shouts and finnlly pulls
the frightened and excited poilu to his
feet nud orders him to walk. And he
walks, after a fashion.
"About two days later, the pollu
is three-quarters convinced by the prog
ress he has already made that he can
move his leg. Then the doctor pro
nounces him cured, nnd tells him that
he'll be permitted to stay nt the resort
for a week to rest up for another go
at the front.
"Invariably, the shcllshocks were
and arc being cured' by this sort of
treatment," added the major. "I don't
mean to suggest that they arc treated
in this way in every case. But such
is the general method, nnd I believe
shellshock is no more n fearful prob
lem with the French."

'GIVE POOR MAN BEER,'
PLEADS DR. CONWELL
Clergyman Says It Is Unfair to
Allow Wealthy to Hoard
Liquor in Cellars
Beer should be given to the poor man
if the rid arc to have their cellars
stocked with a plentiful supply of wines
and .liquors, according to a sermon
preached by the Rev. Dr. Russell II.
Conwell last night at the Baptist Tem
ple, Broad and Berks streets. To re
strict ono class and not the other would
be inconsistent, he continued.
0 "As a church wo believe in temper
ance out nnd out," he said, "but we
do not believe in allowing the rich man
to fill his cellars for months and months
ahead with all sorts of wines and
liquors, while the poor man has his 1!
per cent beer taken nwny from him.
The whole thing Is wrong ; it is a great
evil and will hurt the cause of tem
perance by withholding from the work
ingman such beer as la not intoxicating.
"Remember, 1 emphasize the fact.
li It is not intoxicating.' " he went on
"I don't believe In intoxicating liquor
soiu to men under nny circumstances
unless used as a medicine. I havo been
told thU wealthy have their cellnrs
bearded with intoxicants for years to
come. Christ's Church does not believe
in giving rights to one man that are
denied to another."

frivolous already arc making reserva
