![[go ] M. de Rottkirk, commandant of the mar¬ grave Charles’s regiment, and M. de Kroc-< fcow, captain in Schlabrendorf’s regiment of Cuiraffiers, received each of them a wound through the joint of the fhouldef, and were both compleatly cured at the expiration of about ten months. M. de Britzke, commandant of Knob- loch’s regiment of foot, was wounded, near Drefden, by a mufket ball which pierced the articulation at the elbow, and fhattered the three bones which join at that place. Several fplinters were extracted; this officer never- thelefs in about two years was compleatly cured, and at prefent does his duty glqriqufly at the head of his regiment. I (halt finifh the account of thefe cafes with that of a prince wounded at the battle of Kunnerfdorf. A mufket ball wounded him very badly, paffing through his foot at the articulation of the tarfus and metatarfus in fuch a manner, that all the metatarfal bones excepting one were fhattered. Proper incifions and the other remedies already men¬ tioned effected his cure, and reftored him to cured. If this officer had been fo fortunate as to be wounded a few inches lower, he would have had the piisfortune of having his arm taken off.
