cut it down the centre, so as to have two pieces 

 of wadding a couple of yards long and about 

 ten Inches wide. Wrap the leg round with this 

 wadding, one piece over the other ; apply 

 round It, rather loosely, a calico bandage (which 

 can be got ready-made from any chemist, or 

 can be constructed out of a piece of unbleached 

 calico) about six yards long and three inches 

 wide, so as to keep the wadding in Its place ; 

 and tightly apply another and similar calico 

 bandage, so as to afford firm and evenly 

 distributed pressure on the leg, and secure it 

 by tapes, sewing, or by a safety pin. With the 

 amount of wadding which I have recommended 

 to be used, there Is practically no danger of 

 putting on the second bandage too tightly." —
