KEEP CUTS CLEAN.

to DO but Heal.

Then There Isn't Anything For Thena
to DO but Heal.
The cut made by the surgeon should
always be kept absolutely free from
germs. If infection occurs we know
that some one has blundered- Acciden-
tai cuts, on the other hand. are almost
invariably infected.
The germs Of disease are every
where. No matter how small the cut
may be or how brief its exposure to
the air, germs are almost certain to
enter. II an accidental cut is TO heal
quickly and we'll all germs must be
carefully removed at the first dress
ing.
When we consider how many are
the ways in which a cut may become
infected we can understand why such
precautions are necessary. Infection
is often introduced by the very imple-
ment that makes the wound. Only
surgeons use sterilized instruments.
A knife or a pair Of scissors or a piece
of glass or crockery is almost certain
to plant germs in the furrow It plows.
Germs may also enter from the cloth
ing, from the hands of whoever rushes
to help, from the first piece Of cloth or
handkerchief used to stanch the flow
of blood or from the water used for
the first washing.
Since the avenues Of danger are 90
numerous, it is safest to assume that
Infection has occurred. 1t follows that
