The Danger Of Trivial Wounds.


A medical paper commits itself to
the statement that many live, are lost
each year In consequence OF the lack
OF q little common sense respecting
simple cuts or wounds OF the hands or
ether parts. Several cases have been
recorded OF inquests relating to per.
sons who have died from blood olson.
ing arising from small cuts on the
hands. The history In all OF these
cases varies but little, and Il IL practi.
cally the same. a man, for example,
while working at his trade, or even
while carrying out the simple detail OF
cutting u piece of bread, receives a
small cut on the hand. The injury is
60 trivial that anything Is considered
good enough to stop the bleeding, and
this end having been attained no more
Is thought OF 1t. The small wound ia
left to take care of itself and is ex.
posed to all sorts OF dizziness and
sources OF Injection.
BY good luck nothing may happen,
but the public would do we'll to bear In

to the skin acute septica mia may SUI
pervene and may rapidly be followed

attention to cleanliness the untOward

vented. On the other hand, when the

1t Is said that although Ruhnken,
great and learned Leydon professor,
was generally mild, Almost to q fault.
In his manners, he sometimes became
exasperated by the vanity and pedantic
affectatiOn which he was compelled to
encounter. On one occasion u German
professor, who was inflated with self
esteem, asked Ruhnken to show him
the library, at the same time telling
him OF some very learned Germans,
who had written books full OF eruditiOn
In their own language.
