Being unfamiliar with the road
and seeing the light from the
other car the driver of the Lin- c
coin kept bearing to the right, 1
resulting in a collision. i

EXPERT ADVICE ON
TREATING WOUNDS
l T se Water That Has Been Boil
ed and Pure Soap To Cleanse
AH Wounds—Prevents Blood
Poisoning.
The average person who re
ceives a wound and doesn't
have the advice of a physician
does not know whether to wash
the wound or not. Following
are some instructions given by
the physicians of one of the
largest insurance companies in
the world that might be help
ful to some of us:
No wound is so slight that it
may not become infected and
cause death.
If a wound which breaks the
skin is not promptly and cor
rectly treated, there may be im
mediate infection from germs
that are found anywhere and
everywhere streptococcus,
staphylococcus and saprophy
♦ 1
tes.
It should be assumed that all
accidental wounds may be in
fected.
During the World War medi
cal science discovered that by
using pure soap and boiled wa
ter, fresh wounds, big and lit
tle, could be thoroughly clean
sed, thereby reducing to a min
imum the danger of infection.
In other words, the germs were
literally washed out of wounds.
Small wounds, immediately
cleansed and properly covered
with sterilized gauze will, as a
rule, heal very promptly with
out further treatment. But if
germs are covered over and
bound into wounds, or are seal
ed in by drawing the skin to
gether, infection is almost cer
tain and serious complications
may result.
In applying the soap water
to a new wound, it is best
to use a pad of sterilized gauze.
Any pure soap will do —liquid,
soft or hard—but a liquid soap
as free from alkali as may be
obtained is best? Otherwise
the wound may sting or smart
But the slight temporary dis
comfort caused by a liberal ap
plication of soap and water is
of little consequence when com
pared with the protection af
forded by a thorough cleansing.
( ommon sense must determ
ine how long a fresh wound
should be washed. But re
member always, the washing
must be thorough so that the
soap bubbles may do their part
a'ld lift the germs away from
tho flesh. The water carries
the germs away. The wound
must be clean before healing
begins.
Warm water that has been
sterilized by boiling is safest
and the utmost care should l e
taken to keep the fingers from
coming in contact with the sur
face of the wound.
Wash big or little wounds
soap and water at once—
as First Aid before the doctor
comes.
