bow TO TREAT FLESH WoUNDs.-Every
person should understand how to treat flesh
wouud, because one is liable to be placed In
circumstances, away from surgical and vete-
riDary aid, where he may save his own life, the
life of friend or of a beast simply by the ex-
ercise of a little common sense. In the first
place, close the lips of the wolnd with the hand
and hold them firmly together to check the flow
Of blood until several stitches can be taken and
a tandage applied. Then battle the wound for
q long time in cold water. "Should IL be pain
ful," q correspondent says, "tske painful Of
burning Goals and sprinkle upon them common
brown sugar, and hold the wounded part in the
smoke. In q few minutes the pain will be al
lsyed and recovery proceeds rapidly. In my
case, rusty nail had made bad wound in the
bottom of my foot. The pain and nervous irri-
tation was severe. This was all removed by
holding it in smoke for fifteen minutes, and I
was able to resume my reading in comfort. We
have often recommended It to others with like
results. Last week one of my men had finger
nail torn out by pair OF ice tongs. 1t became
very painful, as was to have been expected.
Held In sugar smoke for twenty minutes the
pain ceased and promised speedy recovery"
