Q68 Electrical Methods in Surgical Advance [May 5, 



This shadow army is in a way prophetic. It is a shadow which, 

 we trust, will increasingly materialize until, in some future day, the 

 only warfare will be, not between man and man, but between a 

 merciful science on the one hand and human suffering on the other. 

 That day may seem distant to those of us who live in times so sadly 

 out of joint as these, but the shadow army is at least a token that it 

 is on its way.
