A number of the men also set out in small parties to explore for w r ater ; as the morning being very hot, most of the men were suffering exceedingly from thirst. The wounded as they were brought in were attended to as well as under the circumstances could be expected, amputations being performed, and the most urgent and dangerous cases attended to first. One or two Mexican surgeons also made their appearance, and proceeded with much apparent skill to dress and bandage the wounds of their unfor...tunate countrymen, in which they were assisted 192 ADVKNIUPxKS OF A SOLDIER IX MEXICO. by our surgeons, after they had dressed all their own wounded. * These Mexican surgeons are reputed to be very skilful in the treatment of wounds, which seems likely enough ; as there is probably no country in the world, if we except Texas, or California, where so large an amount of practice may be found in curing wounds of all the shooting and stabbing varieties.
