HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE.
Hospital experience formed a peculiar part of soldier life, known only to such as the chances of battle or disease contracted in the field compelled to endure. As soon as possible after or during a fight, the surgeons began their work. A place was selected near the field to which the wounded were brought on stretchers if unable to walk. The amputating table was put to use and soon a pile of hands, feet, arms and legs accumulated. A row of dead forms might be seen near by, of such as had died during the operation. Chloroform, the greatest physical blessing to mankind, was used, and limbs were severed without the knowledge of the patient, often needlessly, no doubt.
319
THE ARMIES DISBANDED.
If possible, the wounded were taken by ambulance, railroad or boat to some town or city when the real hospital life began. Churches, schoolhouses, colleges and public halls were occupied with the wounded, if within a few miles even of a battlefield. Each soldier was placed upon a cot and for the first time for months had an easy

bed. He was among strangers whom he had never seen before and a myriad of wounded, numbers of whom were dying, for though removed from the front, death was still around. He must keep up his spirits or homesickness and depression would send him to the grave more surely than his wound.
A more cheerful lot of men were never seen than wounded soldiers after a battle, excepting only those who knew their wounds were fatal. They were silent. The others were jovial-telling stories of the fight and appearing cheerful and happy. This may seem strange, but each one was thankful that his head was not blown off instead of a finger, foot or arm. Calcuations were made how long ere they could go home to remain or on furlough, and future plans of life

were discussed. With many, their wounds disqualified them from their former occupation, and new pursuits must be planned. There was no weeping among the mortally wounded. The dying do not weep. Those destined to recover were too happy to indulge in tears.
As the days and nights rolled by, stretchers frequently bore away forms whose spirits had flown to another world. Others were carried out to undergo a second operation - some never to return alive -died on the operating table. Sad scenes were often witnessed. Relatives would sometimes arrive in time to see their friends die, and often too late. Some craved to be taken home to die, but being told they could not go, became resigned to fate. Their lives sped away among strangers, perhaps from the breaking open of an artery while asleep or even in the midst of a story or meal.
All dispositions, beliefs, professions, occupations, the learned and the unlearned, the vulgar and the well-bred, were here represented. Discussions arose on every subject-ethics, religion, politics and every polemic topic, which often aroused the combative feelings of the patients. Frequently the cripples might be seen raising their crutches to strike each other in the heat of debate, when some peacemaker would calm the disputants, and all regretted their display of passion which chiefly resulted from irritability caused by wounds. Checkers and other games were played to while away the time and occupy the minds of the wounded, for while their attention was thus engaged, their pain ceased to annoy them. Happy were they who should survive the long and sleepless nights, the occasions of sadness and death amid hospital life, and recover to return to duty in the field or to friends at home.
The efforts of the Sanitary and Christian Commissions, Sisters of Charity and Women's Aid Societies, to alleviate the wants and sufferings of the sick and wounded, in hospital and field, deserve a remembrance far beyond the dying embers of the last veteran camp fire. The acclaim of thousands of sick and wounded will ever praise the self-denying services to humanity of those good people whom the good angels only can sufficiently reward.
