Are of comparatively recent development. Such develop ment has, in turn, depended upon the transition of the prac tice of medicine and surgery from the crude, barbarous, empirical and uncertain into life-saving sciences based on demonstrated fact and applied with delicacy and exactitude; likewise upon the growth of humanitarian ideas which re volt at any unnecessary horrors of war. Impelled by these considerations to make provisions for the care of their wounded, commanders soon came to find that these could be turned to good account from the tactical standpoint.
