an admirable invention of Baron Percy of the armies of France, for removing wounded men from the field of battle. It consists of covered waggons on springs, in which the wounded are removed to the hospitals. Those on whom operations have been performed in the field are thus carried safely to considerable distances; and thus, too, the sick may be removed. The medical men are also, by a sort of wooden horse on wheels, rapidly conveyed to the point where their services are most wanted. In the army of the East, the ambulance was fastened on a camel.—See Larrey, Memo. de Chir. Milit. i.
