A remarkable thing abput shell
shock is that none occurs during a
big battle. The reason for this is
perfectly plain. In battle, themen
are buoyed up by the i great excite
ment, are pressing forward and often
engaged' in hand-to-hand fighting,
while all about them is the continual
roar, of battle. They' often, become
absolutely oblivious to exploding
shells until actually hit. Shell shock
comes when the men are compelled
to sit in trenches for loiig periods or
when they are out on nerve testing
patrol duty between the fighting lines
at night , and a big German missile
bursts unexpectedly over them.
The treatment of shell shock cases
is often closely akin to that f or , tem
porary insanity.v The doctors and
other attendants strive ilways to get
the confidence of their patients and
try to start them talking, when the
trembling .and Other manifestations
