ACCIDENTS DURING BREAKING i6i 



and vigilance must be exercised. It is not at all 

 uncommon, indeed, for wounds of this nature to be 

 followed by the most serious results merely through 

 the injury having been improperly treated, or not 

 treated at all in the first instance. 



I have hitherto taken stabs inside the arm as typical 

 of the kind of injuries I am dealing with. 



Wounds, however, upon other parts of the body 

 and limbs must be treated in much the same fashion, 

 each being dealt with of course, in accordance with 

 its extent, and so the requirements of all wounds of a 

 simple description will be met with by the application 

 of some antiseptic dressing. An ounce of oil of 

 eucalyptus mixed with seven ounces of olive oil, and 

 applied daily, will excellently serve this purpose. 

 Professional assistance is recommended. 



Sprains. — ^The sprain of a tendon, hgament, and 

 so on, is an accident of everyday occurrence. In an 

 equal measure, however, with less frequent and less 

 simple injuries, it requires prompt treatment if bad 

 results are to be averted and the injured part to be 

 restored to complete health and fitness.
