Clip off the hair from the edges, and be careful to have everything clean. Di'aw the edges of the wound together with a slightly curved needle and silk, and when tying the knot give the ends an extra turn through the knot, which will keep it from drawing away and untying; then go on and make a hard knot on the to}) of the other, and cut off the silk. Then take another, and so on. The continuous or uninterrupted suture sews up the wound by continuing the .stitches right along, the same as in sewing cloth, and tying the ends. The quilled suture is when two quilN or pieces of wood are used as skewers, ami tiu ends of the silk caught over them, the skewers being i)laced one on each side of the wound, to pre- vent the stitches from tearing out.
