As the discharge of pus begins to diminish, which may not be for several weeks in bad cases, we may somewhat modify our treatment; the strong applications need not be quite so strong, and the cleansing need not be quite so frequent; but the most important item in the treatment of all these cases is the frequent thorough cleansing of the eyes, and if the cleansing is thoroughly done as above described each hour and the lids kept constantly anointed, in order to prevent accumulation of the irritating discharge, more frequent cleansing will not be necessary. Great care must also be exercised to prevent much crying by these little patients. They must be kept warm, regularly nursed or fed, and the slightest derangement of the alimentary canal must be attended to. If the cause of the crying cannot be ascertained and removed, it is wiser to soothe the baby with a simple anodyne than to permit the crying to go on. It should not be necessary to point out the danger which lies in all things which come in contact with the discharge from these eyes. Blennorrhea neonatorum is responsible for at least 25 per cent. of all the blindness in the world, and yet not one case in a hundred should result disastrously if skilfully and patiently managed. EMERGENCIES. HEMORRHAGES. Hemorrhage from the arteries may be recognized by its bright red color and by the spurting jets by which the blood leaves the wound. Venous (from the veins) hemorrhages flow in a steady stream and are darker in color. Arterial hemorrhage may be checked by firm pressure over the side nearest the heart or above the wound. Venous hemorrhages may be checked by firm pressure on the side distant from the heart or below the wound. Large veins like the jugular should be compressed both above and below the wound because the vein may bleed from both ends. If possible, digital pressure should be made directly over the bleeding point. Hemorrhage from the _leg_ may be checked by firm pressure upon the femoral artery, in the middle of the groin at the top of the thigh. Hemorrhage from the _forearm_ by compression under the inner edge of the biceps against the humerus. Hemorrhage from the _upper arm_ by compression of the axillary artery against the humerus in the axilla. Hemorrhage from the _cheek_ by compression on the facial artery against the lower jaw just in front of the masseter muscle. Flexing the limbs at the joints with a pad between them to make the compression secure and then binding the part may prove a successful method of arresting the flow of blood. A constrictor of rubber tubing twisted firmly around the limb is a ready appliance and a most successful way of checking a flow of blood from an injured limb. But it should not remain on longer than absolutely necessary or gangrene may result from complete stoppage of the circulation.
