Zurich Herald, 1916-09-22, Page 7Bruises.
A bruise, or contusion, is, caused by
a blow or by strong compression of
the soft tissues. It is an actual
wound of the subcutaneous tissues,
and is less serious than an open
. wound only because the unbroken skin
asuaily prevents it from being in-
fected. That does not mean that
pus never forms. in a bruise, for the
blood can carry infection, and if
germs lodge in the lacerated tissues
they will erase inflammation.
The first result of a severe bruise
is pain; next comes swelling and dis-
Coloration.. That is owing to the
escape of blood from the born vessel's,
and it is usually more marked where
the tissues are loose; that is why a
"black eye" often follows a blow that
would leave no mark on the chest or
back.
The pain of a bruise is best reliev-
ed by sponging with very hot water
or by hot foinentations; sometimes an
electric -light bulb wilt give enough
warmth to relieve moderate pain. The
hemorrhage, which is the cause of
the swelling and discoloration, can be
reduced by applying pressure at once
over the injured part. Fold a hand-
kerchief or napkin so as to make a
smooth pad and keep it firmly in.
place by a bandage or by a towel
tightly pinned. Wheii, you cannot
make a pad work welt hot water
may arrest the bleeding and prevent
discoloration.
Ice-cold applications have the same
effect, and they are better than hot
ones for a black eye. It is, a good
plan also to compress a bruise under
bhe eye by a masss of cotton or soft
cloths --or by the traditional raw
beefsteak.
If the pain of a bruise persists and
there are signs of begining inflamma-
tion, apply cooling lotions, such as
lead and opiem wash, salt and diluted
vinegar, . equal parts of alcohol and
water or extract of witch -hazel.
Arnica is often used, but it is better
to try something else, for ib some-
times causes a rash or even gives
rise to symptoms of general poison-
ing. If the inflammation persists
and an abscess , forms, the surgeon
must be called.
Health Notes.
The most important feature in giv-
ing comfort to .a person burned- or
soaked is to keep the air from the
burn.
All bacteria do not make trouble
and doctors' bills-. Some of them
make buttermilk, and buttermilk is a
friend to health. It is a cheap bev-
verage and a good one, and is, an ex-
cellent food besides. IDs nutritive
value is high, two quarts of butter-
milk being equal to about one ecus
of steak. It has a good medicinal
effect. The lactic acid bacteria that
help in the making of buttermilk are,
therefore, man's friends and pro-
tectors.
• HUN SAVAGERY OUTDONE,
Terrible Story of Austro•Hungaria
Outrages in Serbia.
Many people are inclined to di
sociate the Austro -Hungarians fro
the charges of lustful savagery whic
have been proved against the Hun
They will be unpleasantly made awar
of the truth by a glance at the oflicj
report upon the atrocities committe
' by the Austro-Hungarian army durin
the first invasion of Serbia. Dr. R. A
Reiss, professor at the University o
Lausanne, has collected evidhnce
what actually happened. His repor
is a thorough examination of facts
verified on the spot.
Dr. Reiss's pictures are.photographs
of horrors. They alone prove "that
the `charming Austrian people' and the
'proud and gallant Magyar race' have
had the doubtful honor of surpassing,
if possible, their German friends in
bea.stiality."
The Austrians are convicted out of
their own mouths. Explosive and dum-
dum bullets were freely used ; this,
with the bombardment of open towns
and the mere shooting down of civil-
ians, must be considered the minor
cruelties of which they were guilty.
At the instigation of Austrian of-
ficers men and women were killed and
mutilated with knives in ways which
it is impossiblo to describe.
Dr. Reiss comments on. the fact that
"the Serb peasants aro very reserved
indeed, and I am convinced that they
are more inclined to say too little than
too much. I think there are many
more victims- than appear in the Lists.
In many of the villages almost all the
women from the very youngest to the
very oldest, have been violated."
Bluffed the Germans.
Mout. Jacks, an Australian V.C., is
now in hospital in London. During
the Pozieres offensive he led a charge,
and when lye resohed an enemy trench
he mot a Ntrty coining out of a dug-
out, and 'duffed them into surrender
with an 8npty revolver, Later he saw
-acme Gdi•mans with a party of Austro -
Ilan prisoners, tend led a furious bayo-
net charge, overpowering the Nuns,
who, in their turn, were captured.

THE AD TO HEALTH
Lies Through Rich , Blood and
Strong Nerves.
Debility is a word that fairly ex-
presses many ailments under one
name. Poor blood, weak nerves, im-
paired digestion, loss of flesh, no en-
ergy, no ambition, listless and indif-
ferent. This condition is perhaps the
penalty of overwork or the result of
neglected health. You must regain
your health or succumb entirely.
There is just one absolutely sure w
to new health — take Dr. William
Pink Pills. These pills will bring you
new life, fill every vein with new, ri
blood, restore elasticity to your ste glow of health to wan cheek
They will supply you with new energ
and supply the vital forces of. mil
and body.
There is not a corner in Caned
where Dr, Williams' Pink Pills hav
not brought health and hope and hap
piness to some weak debilitated per
son. If you have not used this med
cine yourself ask your neighbors an
they will tell you of some suffere
who has been restored to health an
strength through using Dr. William
Pink Pills. One who has always
good word to say for Dr. Williams
Pink Pills is Mrs. Luther Smith, o
THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.
Disease is Identical With the "Black
Death" of the -Middle Agee.
It is a remaricable fact that many
physicians who have devoted consider-
able labor to the study of a particular
disease have themselves died of that
disease,
One of the most interesting exam -
pies le that of John Daniel Major, born
August 16,' 1634, in Breslau, a physi-
cian and naturalist of no mean ability.
Bitten by wanderlust, he studied at
Wittenburg, took courses at many of
the schools in Germany and finally
went to Italy, where he received the
degree' of doctor of medicine at Padua
ay in 1660. Returning to his own country,
s' he resided for a short time in Silesia,
{ and in 1661 married at Wittenburg,
ch Margaret Dorothy, a daughter : of the
celebrated Sennert, The following
ep' year his young wife was stricken with
cheek , • plague and died after an illness of
y � eight days .
id Distracted by his loss, Major wan-
dered up and down Europe, studying
a plague wherever he found it, in the
e hope that he might discover a cure for
+the disease which had bereaved him.

treatment the mortality is about 50

it a duty as well as a pleasure to tel
you what Dr. Williams' Pink Pill
have done for me. I had an operation
vomit when I tried to take it. A good
friend urged me to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, so I bought a box. Before
they were gone I thought I could feel
a difference, and I got a further sup-
ply. By the time I had taken five
boxes the wound ceased discharging
and commenced to heal, I took in all
thirteen boxes and am to -day enjoy-
ing the best health of my life and
weigh 140 pounds. I sincerely hope
anyone suffering as I did will give
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial,
and I feel sure they will not be dis-
appointed."
You can get these pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents
a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Ont.
