of these resinsNa are antiseptie and sooth-
ing to a wound.
Sprains
The regular medical treatment is to
plunge sprained ankle, wrist or finger,
into water as hot as can be borne at
the start, and to raise the heat gradually
thereafter to the limit Of endurance. Con-
tinue for half an hour, then put the joint
in a hot, wet lbandage, reheat from time
to time, and support the limb in an ele-
waited position, the leg being stretched as
high as the hip, or the arm carried in a
sling. In a day OF two begin gently NOV
ing and kneading the Joint and rub with
liniment, oil or vaselin.
In case Of necessity, a sprain of the
ankle can be walked Off. You may shud-
der, but the thing has been done more
than once Similarly have overcome, in
few hours, an attack of lumbago,
though had to start almost on all-fours.
1t was better than lying around a damp
camp for a week-decidedly better after
l got limbered up.
Disiocations
A dislocation of the finger can gen.
orally be reduced by pulling strongly and
at the same time pushing the tip of the
finger backward. If shoulder is thrown
out of joint, have the man lie down,
place a pad in his armpit, remove your
shoe and seat yourself by his side, fac
ing him; then put your foot in his arm
pit. grasp the dislocated arm in both
hands, and simultaneously push with your
foot, pull on his arm, and swing the arm
toward his body tn snap is heard OF
felt.
For any other dislocation, il you can
possibly get surgeon, do not meddle
with the joint, but surround it with flan-
mel cloths, wrung out ia hot water, and
support with soft pads.
Broken Bones
If a bone is broken and surgeon car
be summoned within couple OF days dc
not try to reduce the fracture, for un.
skilled handling might do more harm thar
good Place the man in comfortable
position, the injured part resting on q
pad, and keep him perfectly quiet.
1t may be. however, that you must act

clothing up the seam and steadily pull tn,
broken parts in opposite directions with
out the slightest twisting. Begin gently
and gradually increase the strain. II may
take a strong pull. When the two piece;

work them till they fit. This win be an

hours, then loosen with warm water or
oil, and remove very gently.
After stopping the flow of blood, cleanse
the wound of any foreign substance that
may have entered It,
Cleansing Wounds
To remove a splinter, slip the point OF n
small fnife blade under the protruding
end and catch It with the thumb nail. A
fish hook imbedded in the flesh should
be pushed on through: then nip or file
or the barb and withdraw. II bullet
is deeply Embedded, let it alone; the
chances are that Il will do no harm.
After picking out dirt, bits of cloth,
or other matter that would make the
wound sore and slow to heal wash the
injured part with perfectly clean water.
If there be any doubt about the water,
boil it. DO not mop the wound with a
rag. Hold the water a few inches above
1t and let small stream gently trickle
down upon It. A clean cut needs no
washing; simply draw the edges togeth-
er and fasten them in place. Whenever
It can be done. shave the skin for some
distance around the wound. Hairs, no
matter how small, are grease-coated an'i
favor the growth of germs. Shaving also
scrapes OF the surface dirt and dead
scales Of skin.
Closing Wounds
Never cover wound with court plas-
ter. 1t prevents the free escape OF sup
puration, intiames the part and makes
the place difficult to cleanse thereafter.
The only legitimate uses for sticking
plaster are to hold dressings in place
where handagfng is difficult (as on the
buttock). or, In case OF a cut, to keep
the edges closed without sewing the
skin. In the latter case the cut may be

leaving spaces between. but q better way.
II you have regular surgeons plaster. is
as follows; Lay a. broad strip on each
side Of the cut, half an inch apart ana 4
extending beyond the wound at each |
end Stick these strips firmly in place
except about a quarter Of an inch Of the |
inner margins, which are left loose for /
the present. with needle and thread |
lace the strips deep stitches, so they'll |
not pull ou0 so as to draw the edges
II the wound together. and then stick /
The inner margins down. not covering 1
he wound.
Sewing a wound should be avoided by |
persons. unless 1t really |
s necessary. as in the case Of q foot Il
almost severed with an ak cut. If an
needle and thread must be
lsed. sterslize them by soaking in 8

DRESSING Wounds

All Inflammation of wounds, suppura-
ton and blood poisoning are due to
living germs and to nothing else. These
germs are not born in the wound, but
enter from the outside. We may as well
say that they are present everywhere.
To prevent their entrance is much easier
than TO kill them once they have gained
foothold The only guarantee of a
wound healing nicely is to make it anti
septic-that is to say, surgically clean.
That means sterilize everything used
about a wound (by heat If you have no
antiseptics), not trusting that anything
is gern-free merely because IL looks
clean. The micro-organisms that cause
inflammation of wound, fever, putre-
Il faction cannot be seen with the EYE, and
II they may 1urk anywhere. The unpar-
aIleled medical and surgical record OF
the Japanese in their late war was
chiefly due to unparalleled cleanliness
in camp and field.
4 do not use mere bandage directly on
an open wound. First, cover the injury
with compress (soft pad, made by
folding strip of cloth in several lay
ers); then bandage. Unless you have a
ffrst-aid packet, or are otherwise provid-
| ed with sterilized dressings or antisep-
tics hold the material of the compress
over a clear fire until it is fairly
scorched; then let 1t cool A little
charring of the surface win do no
4 harm; in fact charcoal is itself a good
application TO the surface of a wound
I OF course the compress is to be renewed
every time that the wound is dressed.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-08
salves

Baisam obtained by priclsing the little
blisters on the bark of balsam frs is a
good application for a wound; so is the
honey-like gum Of the llquldamber or
sweet gum tree. raw turpentine from any
pine tree, and the resin procured by
boxing" (gashing) cypress OF hem
lock tree. or by boiling a knot OF the
wood and slximming OF the surface. All

Burns

If clothing sticks to the burn, DO not
try to remove it, but cut around it and
flood it with oil. Prick blisters at both
ends with a perfectly clean needle, and
remove the water by gentle pressure,
being careful not to break the skin. A
good application for a burn, including
sunburn, is carron oil equal parts linseed
oil and 1imewater). Druggists supply an
ointment known as "solidif1ed carron oil'
that is easier to carry. A three per cent
solution of carbolic acid applied with
absorbent cotton or a bandage, is an
excellent application. Better still is the
salve known as unguentine. Lacking
these, the next best thing Is common
baking soda Dissolve Some in as little
water as is required to take it up; satu-
rate cloth with this, and apply Another
good application for burns Is the scrap
ings of q raw potato, renewed when 1t
feels hot If you have none OF these, use
rse any kind of clean oil or unsalted
grease. or dust flour over the burn. or
rse moist earth, preferably clay. then
cover with cotton cloth. Do not remove
the dead skin until new skin has formed
underneath.

To prevent a poultice from sticking,
