Then have the patient see surgeon

Wounds of the skin and tissues may
be of three kinds, first, tears Qacera-
tions) made by a fairly blunt instru-
ment as stone; cuts dnclsed
wounds) made by a sharp instrument
as a knife or piece of glass; and
third, puncture wounds made by some
article of relatively small diameter as
a splinter Or a bullet.
The dangers of wounds Of the skin
are Infection or Inflammation, bleed
ing (hemorrhage) from some wound
ed blood vessel, destruction or cutting
Of some nerve, the cutting Of some
muscle Or bone, and the wounding OF
some internal or vital organ.
Death may result from an Increase
of the Infection to a general blood
poisoning (septfcemia), or from bleed
ing (hemorrhage), or from injury Of
some vital organ as the brain. De-
formities and ugly scars sometimes
follow the healing of such wounds.
Wounds QUITE frequently accompany
sprains, and fractures and dislocaa
tfons.
Preventive Measures.
In order to- prevent wounds we
should be very careful while handling
sharp tools. Never ALLOW children to
play or run with, opeE knives, sharp
sticks or broken glass. Never point
gun or allow anyone else to point one
at anybody, no matter whether it is
loaded or not, because too frequently
it IS the guns that ARE not loaded"
THAI go off and injure people.
Treatment
In treating wounds it is good plan
to allow them to bleed freely for a
short time, if they VIII rs some of the
germs (bacteria) which are almost al
ways carried into the wound by the
instrument that makes it, may be
washed out in this way. If this bleed
ing is very excessive or long contin-
ued It should be stopped. Methods Of
stopping bleeding will be given in a
later paper. After the bleeding has
stopped the outside of the wound
should be washed, and If it is not
deep, the whole wound should be
cleaned by washing It thoroughly with
hot water that had been boiled for a
short time and cooled Some mild
antiseptic or disinfectant may be add
ed to the water, as bichloride of mer-
curry corrosive sub1fmate), so that the
solution is of about the strength of
one part of the bichloride to 1000
parts of water $4,000; enough borio
acid (boracic acid) to make a sat
urated solution about 1 part to 5 or
10 parts of water f1-5 or 1-1O); or
carbolic acid (phenoD so that there
Is / part Of carbolic to so parts Of
water 1-50}. A person before at
tempting to clean out wound should
first wash his own hands thoroughly
In boiled water and soap for at least
three minutes continuously 80 as to
get off all the germs. Do not use
dirty rags or cotton waste to wash out
wounds because you are liable to wash
In more germs than you wash out.
Always use clean cloths that have
been washed and ironed or heated In
a hot oven for five or ten minutes, or
they may be boiled at the same time
that the water is heated.
After the wound has been cleaned
out, or If deep its outer surface wash
ed, apply dressing Of some soft clean
material prepared in the same way as
for washing out the wound and 1t may
be put on either dry or moistened in
the antiseptic solution used
When possible it is better to apply

the beautiful carpets OF that country
are made. Of course without ma

stretched on u loom, which II merely

threads woven and knetted BY hand
without the aid Of shuttle. When
row is finished 1t Il pressed tightly to
the rest OF the web by means OF
comb inserted into the warp.
THE weaver does not see the pat
tern as he works. for he sits with the
reverse side OF the web toward him.
The looms are generally kept In an
underground vauited room. often with
water running through the center. At
each loom three or four workers sit
