Canadian wood products industries . dworker (Indianapolis),describes a simple and safe surgical appliance whichis worth trying, if occasion calls for something alongthat line. The writer says that one of the most an-noying minor accidents to which every wood-workeris subjected at times, is to have a sliver of wood stuckin his hand ; and its removal is painful if not properlyperformed. If the splinter is softwood, it cannot beremoved very easily with a needle or other sharp in-strument. A very easy and effective way of removing a splin-ter without pain or inconvenience is to take a wide-mouthed bottle (such as a milk bottle), filled nearlyfull of water as hot as the glass will stand. Place theinjured part over the mouth of the bottle, pressing-down slightly, thus preventing any steam from escap-ing. This will cause the flesh to be drawn down, andin a minute or two the steam will extract the splinter,at the same time preventing the inflammation whichusually follows an injury of this kind.
