BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Gassed World War veterans’'may be suffering from a lot of unnecessary worry. An’ exhaustive study of the after ef- fects of gassing, especially with chlorine gas, which was responsible for most of the battle casualties, based on nearly 100 cases, has just been reported by on | Maj. Gen. Harry L. Gilchrist, chief of the Chemical Warfare Service and a physician, and Dr. Philip B. Matz, chief of the Medical Research Division of the Veterans’ Bureau. It contans the most autoritative information yet available as to the residual effects of gas on the lungs and throat. Immediately after the war there was a widespread belief the gassed soldier’s susceptibility to tuberculosis had been enormously increased and that chances were greatly in favor of the invasion, sooner or later, of this disease. When- ever an ex-service man did show signs of tuberculosis, his friends immediately claimed the gas ble. On SUIT SUIT SUIT SUIT SUIT ALTERATIONS AT ‘was the other hand, competent physicians half now. issuing statements that there was little or no association between war gas and tuberculosis, bronchial troubles or other alarming end effects. The latter, it appears, were more nearly right, but the fact remains, it appears from the report, that they had little gnore basis for their opinions at the time than did the alarmists. There was little objective evidence one way or the other. Veterans continued to ap- pear in Veterans’ Administration hos- pitals with advanced cases of tubercu- losis, chronic bronchitis, etc., whose records showed that they had been gas casualties. But it could not be assumed gratuitously that one condition was a direct result of the other. ‘The investigation reported in the cur- cent medical bulletin of the Veterans’ Administration consisted of going thor- oughly into the entire medical history of the patient from earliest childhood in an effort to determine the origin of the trouble. Out of a total of 96 men it was found that in 80 cases there was no association whatsoever between their | disability and the ges and that this had left no traces whatsoever. Nine showed definite after effects which could be at- tributable to ing, while seven showed after effects for which the gas might be responsible. This, of course, was about the worst possible picture that could xt gt al g & - fects could be found anyw! erw‘ugy were certain to show up here. The War Department statistics show that a of 70,742 American soldiers were )= nitely gas casualties, of which 200 dleqd™ on the battlefields and 1,221 tnhmpl?u. The others pfesumably came In 5 out of the 96 cases studied there was definite pulmonary tubercu- losis. But examination of the entire medical record showed that in these cases there had been pre-exisf quies- cent or arrested tuberculosis foci In” the lungs which had been reactivated by the gas. The gas itself was not -the- cause of tuberculosis unless it was tHeérs” already—but it might never have nw‘g a up again if it had not been for gassing. “ “It was found,” says the report, “tha in a number of instances there wik & history of respiratory disease for wideh the claimant had been treated prior-to or immediately after the gassing ‘gnd- in such instances it was difficult--to decide the role played by chloriné in the causation of the disabilities found~: on examination. The relation of chlorine to such disabilities was con< sidered questionable.” Roosevelt Made Hospital Trustee.
