FIRST AID TO TIE INJURED.
\ Few Points that May Prove Ben
cficial N Case OF Accident.

The New York City police have been
receiving instructions from DIS Nichols
and Murray how to act in case of acct
dent. To stop external hemorrhage
press on the adjacent arteries, and to
stop internal, in the lungs or stomach,
lay cold clothes on the breast or abdo-
men. When an artery or wien has
been cut tcnrir quet can be extern
ported by tying handkerchief or ban
dage above the wound, and twisting it
tight by putting stick under the
band. The hair around an injury must
be cut in the case of q scalp wound,
and incised and lacelated wounds
must first be carefully cleaned by al
lowing water to drop on them from
sponge. Cold water is the first rem
edy for a bruise, afterward laudanum
may be applied with advantage. 1t
sometime happens that limb is bro
ken, and the injured person is obliged
to wait some little time before sur
geon can be summoned. In such d
case temporary spiint will prove of
benefit. The limb must be first barred
by cutting away the clothing. A bit
of flannel is laid next to the skin, then
stuck, or the substitute for the splint,
is pressed upon it by bandaging, begin
ming from below. In the case of a
compound fra C ure, which is when the
broken bone has forced its way through
the skin, q warm wet cloth must be
laid over the torn skin before the
splint is applied. In case of drowning
artificial respiration is necessary, es-
pecially where the person has laid in
the water for some time. This is done
by gently pressing the chest and then
the sides under the arm pits. In such
emergencles warmth is indispensable
and stimuIants are necessary, 1t Is
also good plan to keep a hot cloth
over the heart,
The above simple rules may be OF
use to those who live considerable
distance from a doctor, and may be
the means of saving good deal of I'M
necessary suffering and even life.
