If the capillaries only are cut, the blood oozes gently from the wound. 4. Bleeding; from an Artery.âThe arteries are found in nearly every part of the body. Wherever it is possible, they are situated deep down in the tissues. The larger trunks usually occupy the most protected situations, and generally run in a very straight course. They are therefore, fortunately, not so frequently cut or injured as the veins, which run near the surface and are more tortuous and more exposed. When an artery is cut, it calls for prompt action, and requires some presence of mind. If the artery is large, there is no time to be lost. Let us remember two things to be done, even if wo forget everything else. Put firm pressure directly on the bleeding party and also on the artery some- where above the wound, that is, between it and the heart. To apply pressure on the wound, take a pad made of some firm substance, such as a flat cork, a smooth, flat stone, a roll of paper, a penny, or whatever is within reach, and tie it firmly with a handkerchief or a triangular bandage folded narrow. To apply pressure on the artery above the wound, we must know the most suitable places. Gen- erally speaking, we can arrest bleeding from any part of the arm by pressing upon the artery in the arm-pit, and from any part of the leg by pressing upon the artery in the groin. The pressure is best applied by taking the narrow folded bandage, or handker- chief, tying a knot in its centre, plac- ing this knot over the line of the artery, and tying it loosely but with.
