The salt serves to lessen the pain. A very painful injury to the eye calls for immediate medical attention When the flesh is torn or lacerated, wash the wound thor-| oughly with water that has been previously boiled. Wrap the} wounded part with antiseptic gauze and absorbent cotton | This is known as the first aid to the injured upon the battle-| field. Antiseptic gauze and absorbent cotton are invaluable | «in time of severe injuries.

Scientists say that the tetanus a germ forms only beneath the skin. It cannot thrive in the) q a open air. Therefore, it is imperative that all such wounds| should be kept open until medical assistance can be had. The} a first thing the doctor will do will be to apply tetanus antitoxin, + which can be secured at any drug store. Above all else, remember that the remedies suggested for serious injuries are merely temporary. When the flesh is broken the safe way is to consult a physician or surgeon as soon as possible.
