times these wounds arc dangerous from the
loss OF blood, or they leave uns;ghtly swell
llngs or scars; it is therefore highly. ncces-
sary, that they should Understandable best
mode of dressing them. =
The first thing to be done is properly to Sc
cure the animal, SO that itshaIl not be able
TO lnJure the operator, then the wound
should be carefully ceansed, and every for
elgn substance removed. If the wound
bIeeds protusely, especially ifthe blood flows
'njets and is ofu ford color, it shows that an
artery is wounded, and this should be secu-
red. The best mode to do this is, to apply
Il ligaturc to The bleeding: that is tie u small
string round it if possible. Ii,hs can not
be done, then take q wire about eightin
es long, put one end in il round stick for a
handle, bend the other end about an inch
from the extremity like a hook, put this III
strument in fire and heat it to white heat
and then scar the mouths of The bleeding
Vessels. This will generally stop the flow
OF blood at once. Ihc parts should now be
examined and the shape ofi!re wound obser-
vcl; then with large needle, armed with
strong thread we'll twisted and waxed,

an inch from the edges of the wound; then

their original position; after this several slit
chns may be taken an inch from each othor.

the edges are in opposition. Next scrapo

cover the wound, which should be secured
