To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under such latter conditions, wounds thus produced assume quite a grave aspect indeed, simply because the explosive character produces in the organs hit extensive, de- structive lesions, often tearing everything to pieces — similar to the destruction produced by a bomb. Especially is this true of organs tEat contain liquids, such as the heart, containing blood; or semi-solids, such as the cranium, containing the cerebral mass; while in the liver or muscular system it produces lacerations having... but a small entrance, but in which the wound becomes larger and larger and more conical in shape as it nears the exit of the projectile. Another aggravating factor that has often been observed is the fact that, not infrequently, the pro- jectile in its trajectory, and before reaching and hitting its victim, encounters in its course some hard impediment that flattens it — and in this con- dition it ricochetes or rebounds, hitting the soldier in this rebound. Wounds thus produced are of ne-. cessity irregular in shape and by far more lacerative and destructive in character than are the wounds due to other projectles.
