Bruises Case Xvi

Categories: ON THE APPLICATION OF THESE MODES OF TREATMENT TO PARTICULAR CASES.

J. Jennings, bricklayer, aged 26, fell through the roof of a house and

bruised and lacerated his shin rather severely to the extent of an

inch and half in one part and in several other places in a less

degree. I applied the lunar caustic to the wound immediately.



On the following day the eschar was found to be adherent, and there

was neither pain nor swelling.



The eschars separated in nine days leaving the wounds healed.



It is remarkable that the eschar remains a greater or less time over

the wound according to the severity and exigency of the case. This

case being less severe than the former one the eschar remained upon

the wound during a much shorter period of time.
