The wound was immediately sucked by a comrade, and the man reported at the Post Hospital, at Camp Cooke, Montana, three hours after the accident.

The only noticeable appearance was a slightly wild look about the eyes, although the man did not seem to be the least alarmed.

The region of the wound was hard and somewhat painful, probably from having been bruised by the teeth of the man who sucked the wound; it remained so for about three hours.

The throat was bound up in rancid olive oil (the only kind at hand) and no internal remedy was administered.

There were no other bad consequences, and the patient soon returned to duty.
