New Ci:ke for WofNDs. As soon ls
a wound is inflicted get a little slick a
knife or tile-handle will do and com
mence to tap gently on the wound. Do
not stop lor the hurt but con tin lie until
It bleeds freely and becomes perfectly
numb. When this point is reached you
are safe all that is then necessary is
to protect it from dirt. Io not stop
short of the bleeding and numbness and
do not ou any account close the opening
with plaster. Nothing more than a litt
simple cerate on a clean cloth is neces
sary. We have used and seen this used
on all kinds of simple punctures for
thirty years and never knew a single
instance of a wound becoming inflamed
or sore after treatment as above. Among
other cases: A coal-raketooth going
eiitirely through the foot, a rusty darn
ing needle through the foot, a bad bite
by a sucking pig, several instances of
tile shanks through the hands and num
berless ca.-es of rusty nails, awls, etc.,
but we never knew a failure of this
treatment. Scientific American.
