Using Court Plaster.

We see plenty of instructions for
making court-plaster cases, but
seldom is word of caution given
as to the use of the plaster. If a
deep wound like a cut is complete
~ covered with the plaster the Sc
cretions of the wound cannot es.
cape, and consequently inf1amma-
ton will set in. Slight wounds
may be so covered, but for a more
serious cut take long, narrow strips
of the plaster and place them
across the cut so as to bring the
edges together, leaving space
through which the matter can es-
cape. Wash the wound with water
to which a drop Of carbolic acid
has been added.
