'A bruise or contusion is an injury to the soft tissues beneath the skin, when the skin itself is 'notsbrokee. The discoloration that attends a bruise is caused by blood escaping from the -ruptured blood -vessels tont filtering into the tissues. A bruise may be trifling or serious; there may be only the smallest su- perecial discoloratien of the skin, or•there may be large collections of blood in the cavities of the body. - Some people braise so readily that they are quite unable to account for large black bruises that appear on the surface of their bodies. Also parts of the body bruise more readily than others. That is the case with the sides of the chest, and with the orbit of the eye, as seen in the very -conunon "black eye." A- severe bruise is accompanied not only by discoloration, but by pain, tenderness and local swelling, and in some cases by THREE NEW LEPERS. , Now 22 Inmates of the Lazaretto . in New Brunswick.
