in production, together with all
finished or partly finished goods. 1t

A wound is an injury in which
the skin is broken and the under
lying tissue more or less damaged.
The great dangers from wounds
are infection, hemorrhages and
shock. Disease germs which are
the cause of infection are invisible
to the human eye, but it is their
action that causes many wounds to
become inflamed and full of pus, pro-
ducing blood poisoning, gangrene,
lockjaw, etc. Even scratches and
priCks, If not properly cleaned, may
result in assesses which may cause
a person to lose an arm or leg, or
even his life.
In giving first-aid treatment to
one who is wounded, always expose
the wound and examine il carefully
Cut or rip the clothing and turn 1t
back so that 1t does not touch the
wound. All clothing naturally con-
tains more or less impurities. The
wound and surrounding skin should
be thoroughly disinfected with a
solution of equal parts of tincture
of iodine and alcohol. When the
wound is covered with dirt or
grease, it can be cleansed by using
piece of gauze moistened with
turpentine or alcohol. AS a rule 1t
is much safer TO temporarily bind
up a wound. dirt and all, than to
touch it with unclean hands. Such

ever, only be kept on untfl the in
jured person can be treated by a
doctor. In dressing an open wound,
never touch it with the bare hands
unless absolutely necessary. Never
use. a cloth or bandage that is not
surgically clean, and never wash a
wound in unclean water.
Never cover a wound with adhe-
sive plaster, as in that way the dis
ease germs are sealed up within 1t.
All small wounds, as soon as re-
ceived, should be made to bleed
freely by pressure, made thoroughly
clean, then dressed like other
wounds, and not sealed by plaster.
