stick Ia knife or file handle will dO) and
commence to tap gently on the wound
DO o stop for the hurt, but continue I'M
ii it bleeds freely and becomes perfectly
numb. When this point is reached you
hre safe; all that is then necessary is to
protect it from the dirt. Do not stop
6hort of the bleeding and the numbness,
Ind do not on any account close the open

title simple cerate on a clean cloth is nee
kSsarv. have used and seen this used on
ii kinds of simple %punctures for thirty
Fears, and never knew a single instance OF
wound becoming intlamed or sore after
he treatment as above. Among other
ases, a coal rake tooth going entirely
through the foot, a bad bite by a sucking
3ig. several instances of file ShankS
through the hand, and numberless cases
# rusty nails, etc, but | never knew Il
allure Of this treatment.
