In the first place, close the lips of the wound with the hand, hold them firmly to- gether to check the flow of blood until several stitches can be taken and a bandage applied. Then bathe the wound for a long time in cold water. Should it be painful. a cor. No one could discover me at the dinner! hour, and she tock the half-past thre o'clock train that afternoon.
