C, The method of compressing the mouthof the divided artery in the wound, with the fingers. The dotted lines indicate thecourse of the artery. When such accidents occur, the person wounded, or someindividual who may be present, should arrest the bleeding, bymaking pressure upon the artery, between the heart and thepoint of its division, or by using compression directly upon theopen mouth of the divided vessel. The best instrument touse in compressing bleeding arteries, is the finger. Fig. 208. Fig. Fig. 208. Represents the track of the axillary and brachial artery. 1, The clavicle,under which lies tne subclavian artery. (See Fig. 145.) Under the clavicle, upon theflrstrib, the artery may be compressed. (See B, Fig. 209.) 9, The axillary artery. 10, Thebrachial artery. At this point, the artery may be compressed bv the fingers. (See A,Fig. 209.) Fig. 209.

How is the compression effected ? Another method ?Describe Figs. 20S, 209.
