How did doctors treat people in the 1800s? I read something about pouring alcohol and stuff? I already read about the amputation process but Im looking for something other than amputation. Just like maybe wrap a cloth or something and later on amputate it. But for now how to treat gunshot legs. Whether or not there's another way, thanks in advance.

I already read two articles from the first two. I found a good source that is close to my topic. Thanks! :)
