FOOLISH TO NEGLECT CUT
Many Cases on Record Where SEEM
inaly unImportant Wound Has Led
to Blood Poisoning.

Do you treat cut on your finger
property Or do you Just take a
chance of 1t healingi Day after Gay
people are having fingers and arms
amputated because they failed to take
care of little cut. The cut became
infected and In many cases blood-poi-
soning set in and the injured member
had to be cut Off. It Is very easy to
take care of little cut yourself, but
II the cut Is a large one see the doc
tor or go to hospital. Iodine is a
drug which is very much used on cuts
as an .antiseptic. In the operating
rooms of large hospitals you always
see the bottle of iodine. When you cut
finger, just put some iodine on it.
This is the best thing you can use. 1t
kills the germs that are in the cut
and discourages the attempt Of other
germs to- enter the cut. After the cut
has been cleansed and saturated with
iodine and the blood has stopped, 1t
may be well to apply some collodion.
This acts as q new skin. A cut Is
merely cut when 1t Is treated right,
and right away. 1t may mean some
thing worse, and entail even the loss
Of limb If you put off giving it prop
er attention.
