After
Leeches
have
been
Used
After
leeches
have
been
used
they
should
be
placed
in
water
containing
sixteen
per
cent.
of
salt,
which
facilitates
the
removal
of
the
blood
they
contain;
and
they
should
afterwards
be
placed
one
by
one
in
warm
water,
and
the
blood
forced
out
by
gentle
pressure.
The
leeches
should
then
be
thrown
into
fresh
water,
which
is
to
be
renewed
every
twenty-four
hours:
they
may
then
be
re-applied
after
an
interval
of
eight
or
ten
days,
and
be
disgorged
a
second
time.
The
best
plan,
however,
is
to
empty
the
leech
by
drawing
the
thumb
and
forefinger
of
the
right
hand
along
its
body
from
the
tail
to
the
mouth,
the
leech
being
firmly
held
at
the
sucker
extremity
by
the
fingers
of
the
left
hand.
By
this
means,
with
a
few
minutes'
rest
between
each
application,
the
same
leech
may
be
used
four
or
five
times
in
succession.

If
a
Leech
be
Accidentally
Swallowed,
If
a
leech
be
accidentally
swallowed,
or
by
any
means
should
get
into
the
body,
employ
an
emetic,
or
enema
of
salt
and
water.

Scarification
Scarification
is
useful
in
severe
contusions,
and
inflammation
of
parts.
It
is
performed
by
scratching
or
slightly
cutting
through
the
skin
with
a
lancet,
holding
the
lancet
as
you
would
a
pen
when
you
are
ruling
lines
on
paper.
