Excerpt from A Practicable Root-Canal Technic

In 1915, in France, a wounded soldier is brought into a hospital. A wound in the leg, suppurating, contused, full of bits of shrapnel, dirt and pieces of clothing, has caused an alarming elevation of temperature. Logical surgical tradition would call for the amputation of this leg, but thanks to the scientific bravery of Carrel, in a few weeks this man is back on the firing line.

Before Paré, the treatment of gunshot wounds without the use of hot oil and hot iron was impossible; before Lister, deliberate surgical operations without subsequent sepsis intervening were impossible; before Carrel, the closure of a suppurating wound in four days was impossible.
