bleeding can usually be checked
quite easily. II the blood is from a
large number of small vessels,
hemorrhage can be checked and final

the wound may be packed in clean
cotton or oakum and tightly bandaged
In case a 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 tight bandage
placed above or below the wound. If
the blood flows in a steady stream
the bandage should be on the side
1arthest from the heart.
If it 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.
If the wound is made lengthwise of
the muscle there may be considerable
advantage in holding the sides to-
sether by sewing. No special form
of needle or thread is necessary ex-
cept that both should be clean and the
latter should be of a reasonable size.
n darning needle and ordinary cotton
thread will do very we'll in an emer-

If the wound is made across the
muscle and gapes widely it is usually
unwise to sew, for the stitches will
cut out in a few days and make the
scar much worse than If 1t had been
