GOOD TREATMENT
OF ANIMAL WOUNDS
Few Injuries Are Materially Bene-
fitted Unless Treated by
Professionals.
BY DR.. M. H. REYNOLDS, v. s.

~ IN. W. n. HErNOlOS, ". b.
Various preparations OF turpentine.
alcohol, vinegar. carbolic acid, irritat-
Ing oils, and even mineral acids are
frequently used In the treatment of
animal wounds and then because the
patient RECEIVERS In spite of barbarous
treatment, people enormously con-
clude that the medicine cured.
Bleeding can usually be checked
quite easily. II the blood is from a
large number Of small vessels.
hemorrhage can be checked and final
ly stopped by the means of ice and
by very hot or very cold water, or
the wound may be packed in clean
cotton or oakum and tightly bandaged.
In case large blood vessel is sew
cred the artery may be secured by
means OF small forceps or even hook
made by bending a pin or piece Of
wire.
In some cases hemorrhage can be
easily controlled by a tight bandage
placed above OF. below the wound. II
the blood flows in a steady stream
the bandage should be on the side
farthest from the heart.
II 1t flows in Jets the bandage
should be tied between the wound
and the heart
Comparatively few wounds are ma
terially benefited by sewing, band
aging or washing except In profess
sion hands.
II the wound is made lengthwise Of
the muscle there may be considerable
advantage In holding the sides to-
gether by sewing. No special form
of needle or thread is necessary ex-
cept that both should be clean and the
latter should be of reasonable size.
A darning needle and ordinary cotton
thread will do very well In an emer-
gency.
II the wound is made across the
muscle and gapes widely It is usually
unwise to sew. for the stitches will

castration is in rupture.
So long as the testicles are in the
purse. and their cords are occupying
to great extent the orifices In the

of small knuckle of intestine may
be overlooked unless a very careful
examination Is made; indeed It may

notice, II the colt has been well fast
ened and placed upon his back, re-
naming there for minute or two. as
during this time the small portion of
gut will often slip back into the abdo-

For this. among other reasons. an
old hand will prefer to have the ami

way OF test. If another person does

adults). the castrator's fingers upon
the cords of the testicles will tell him
of bulge and he will then exercise
special precautions.
1t is far better to let the colt get up
again and sacrifice the time than to
proceed without all necessary appli-
ances. Ruptured colts should never
be entrusted to gelders without ana

The veterinary surgeon may choose
to put in two or more stitches of soIu-

him have been rendered antiseptic

Temptation Forms Character.

No man knows how good or how
bad he is until he is sorely tried. 1t
is the fire that develops the beauty.
The gun, the bridge. the ship-these
are all put to the test, not otherwise
is it with man. Temptation lends
strength to the soul that resists, and
takes power from the soul that yields
Every time we gain a victory we add
to the sum total of our manhood.
Character comes by temptation. 1t is
the secret of virtue. Temptation
takes innocence and turns it into vir.
tue. Virtue is innocence under fire.

A further precaution may therefore
be taken by putting a few stitches of

1t for three days or more. II the sub

not satisfy us that 1t is safe to remove

methods of operation the details of

been successfully dealt with, but the
