New Way to Stanch Wounds.
A preparation which it is said will stop almost instantly the flow of blood from a wound has been devised by Professor Theodor Kocher, of Berne, who was awarded the Nobel prize for surgery in 1912, and his assistant, Doctor A. Fonce. It is called coagulen. The powder is dissolved in water before being applied to a wound.
The discoverers of coagulen have made a gift of their secret to the armies in the field. They have sent large quantities of the powder to the surgical headquarters of both German and French armies.
