Hemorrhage

Hemorrhage may be checked by giving strong salt and water; or by giving lemon juice.

If an artery is cut, tie a strong string above the cut to prevent the escape of blood. Tighten the string if necessary by placing a ruler or stick in the string, twist this round, so as to make a knot pressing tightly on the artery. The blood from an artery is always of a very bright red and comes out in jerks or spurts.
