Here are some simple methods Of
\ healing wounds which might lead to
lockjaw if not attended to instantly:
When fishhook is caught in the
! flesh, IL it be embedded beyond the
barb, no attempt should be made to
withdraw 1t, but the point should be
moved forward until it emerges from
the skin, when 1t may be cut OFF by
means of a file or pair of pliers, and
! the balance of the hoci, withdrawn; or
the line may be detached, the eye cut
| off. and the whole hook pushed thru
the tissues.
IL a crochet hook has been thrust
into the fiesh--a not uncommon acei-
| dent-no attempt should be made to
withdraw it directly, but a large knit
| ting needle or darning needle should
| be introduced alongside of it and pIas al
against the hook. when both may be
drawn out together without inflicting
| further injury.
| Punctured wounds should be treated
4 by means of hot lamentations, OF poul---
| tees or congresses OF tepid water.
Torn or confused wounds heal much
more slowly than cut or punctured
wounds. Torn wounds should be thoro-
| ly cleansed and the injured parts drawn 2
| together by means of adhesive plastery
and bandages.
| Care must be taken not TO employ
too strong compression. Either water
dressing or lint saturated with sweet
oil containing 10 drops of carbolic acid
to the ounce may be employed. If the
| parts have been badly bruised, hot fo.7
mentations should be applied.
Heat is essential in cases in which
| considerable portions of tissue have
been nearly severed from the body, bur
have retained a sufficient amount of
attachment to justify the attempt to
secure union.
For confused wounds, carboIated
vaseline, spread on pieces of thin cloth.
constitutes an excellent dressing If
there be disposition of the injured
part to become gangrenous or to slough,
| the parts should be kept immersed in
water as hot as can be borne for time,
or treated with lamentations.
