used to control bleeding, a fact to be 

 remembered in cases of emergency. 

 If the bleeding vessel can be grasped, 

 it may be tied off with a piece of 

 catgut or silk thread, etc. The free 

 use of cold water will often stop the 

 bleeding and should always be tried ; 

 besides, it helps to clean the wound. 

 The application of tincture of steel, 

 Friar's Balsam, styptic, collodion, 

 alum, etc., is used for the same 

 purpose when the bleeding is not 

 excessive."
