Bleeding from the stomach may be checked by the application of a mustard

or.
In bleeding from wounds or recent amputation there are three things that
may be done:
First, press the finger or the hand over the bleeding point. .
Second, press on the main artery supplying the wound, or, if this can not
be found, apply a bandage as tightly as possible above the wound. An
excellent tourniquet may be improvised by knotting a handkerchief loosely
around the limb, thrusting a short stick through it and twisting it tight.
The blood from an artery is bright red and comes in spurts with each beat
of the heart, while that from the veins is a dark purplish color and flows ix
a steady stream. When the bleeding is from an artery, the pressure should |
be applied between the wound and the heart; when from a vein, the limb.
must be compressed beyond the wound.
Third, raise the part above the rest of the body, that the blood may drain
out of it, and support it on pillows. It should be bathed in ice-water and
have ice wrapped in cotton cloths laid on it.
If faintness ensues, the sufferer should not be immediately roused, as thig
is nature’s remedy, and acts by lessening the force and activity of the circula-
tion. If any part ot the body has been cut off, it should be cleaned of for-
eign matter, and at once replaced, wrapped in cotton to retain warmth, and
a gentle pressure kent, on it to retainitin place. Circulation is often restored.
