AEROPLANE SURGERY.

OPERATING TABLE AND X-RAT Great interest is taken in Paris in the trials of a new 1 ‘radio-medico-snrgical” aeroplane, the invention of the engineer Nemirovsky and Dr Tilmout, t which *has already been given a successful first trip at Issey-les-Moulineaus. The new machine which is called the “aero-chir, ” is designed to place promptly at the service of men wounded in warfare or persons injured in serious accidents, all "the resource of medical science, and if necessary to carry them back to hospital. Everything required for surgical and X-ray work is provided on board the aeroplane, including an operating table, and even an ingeniously constructed col, apsible tent which •an be erected on the scene of an accident within two or three m inutes. Two models of the “auto-chair” have been designed, one capable of carrying four injured persons in addition to the necessary apparatus, and the other much larger, capable of carrying a medical and surgical staff of ten persons, and bringing back, if necessary, as many as 13 in jured.
