Military medical and surgical essays ; prepared for the United States Sanitary Commission . 420 HEMORRHAGE FROM WOUNDS, AND THE Diagram BEST MEANS OF ARRESTING IT. 421 To meet these special requirements, a number ofinstruments have been contrived in different coun-tries. That of Dr. Lambert, of this country, is verygood; but the one invented by my son, Dr. AlexanderB. Mott, is more simple in construction, more neat,and compact, and portable, and is the one we is eminently fitted for military and naval practice,and well adapted to the walks of private life. One great excellence of this instrument is, that itcan be applied by the wounded man himself. Itscheapness is another of its good qualities, as the costwill not exceed fifty cents; thus placing it within thereach of every private soldier as well as every officerin the army, who may desire its protection. Diagrams Nos. 3 and 4 represent this instrumentand illustrate its modes of application.* * The following letter from my son gives a full account of theconstruction of this instrument and its application:— 209 Tenth Street, New York, May 24th, 18G3.
