Injuries to the Hands.

Naturally the hands and fingers are
very often the seat of injury. When
one considers the various uses to
which the hands are put, the wonder
is that they escape injury as long as
they do. Strange as it may at first
seem. minor wounds Of this region
are often more dangerous than the
apparently more dangerous ones. The
reason is obvious. A cut or confusion
of any marked severity receives at
once proper attention, whereas a
slight wound is almost always ne g.
lected. Some of the worst cases of
Infection of the hands result from so
simple thing as broken blister
Or slight abrasion of the Skin.
In such cases before the patient is
aware. serious processes are going on
while the slight wound has apparently
healed.
If Infection has occurred, there will
be pain emanating from the site of
the wound and extending up the fore
arm to a greater or less extent.
There will also be swelling, tender
ness, and sometimes redness of the
parts. The glands of the aXilla
(armpit) of the injured side some
times become infamed and sore. The
fingers and palm Of the hand contain
tendons, ligaments ETC., which are
very tough. and the pus thus closely
confined causes great tension and con-
sequently severe pain. The pus fol
lows the lines Of least resistance, bur.
rowing along the sheath of a tendon
or the bone, and if not relieved
promptly may result in destroying the
usefulness of the parts.
All broken blisters or other slight
wounds of the hands should at once be
throughly disinfected with peroxide
of hydrogen and a clean dressing ap-
piled. In case Infection occurs the
hot pack should be kept on until pain
and swelling subside or the pus can be
located. AS soon as the site of the
pus can he ascertained, free incision
should be made and the matter evacu-
ated. In all cases of such wounds OF
the hands that do not readily yield to
disinfection and the hot pack, the ad.
vice and care of the surgeon are
strongly recommended Exchange

FEW ACCIDENTS
MAR THE EVENT

London. June 22.-Every village, town,
and city has been celebrating in some
form. Fetes, parades. banquets, poor
house treats. military displays, and the
Inauguration OF public works have been
the principal features. Big cities like
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, and
Birmingham celebrated on a scale that
might be compared with that of Lon
don. Nowhere was the occasion neg
lected.
With the exception OF Col Leslie Mac
Gowan. the commander OF the Canadian
contingent, which acted as escort to the
King during the march to the abbey,
who was thrown from his horse and
sustained a fractured skull. and who Is
in serious condition, and a woman, who
was sent to a hospital with a broken
leg, there were no accidents reported in
London. .....
A triumphal arch at Barnstable was
blown down and one person was killed
and many seriously injured. A saluting
gun burst at Lyme-Regis, killing one per-
son and inJuring several and smashing
numberless windows. A horse bolted at
Cowes and killed a girl The driver of
q car at Carnarvon was thrown out and
killed.
