Healing Power Of Glue

Many women do not know that glue, as a healing remedy, is inval uable. For the last twelve or fourteen years, says a mechanic, I have been employed in a shop where there are over three hundred men at work ; and, as is the case in all shops of this kind, hardly a day passes but one or more of us out or bruise our litubs. At first there were but few who found their wsy to niy dopartment to have their wounds bouud up ; but after a while, it becatne generally known that a rag glued on a flesh wound was not only a speedy curative, but a formidable proteotion against further injury. I was obliged to keep a full supply of rags on hand, to be ready for any emergency. I will here cite one among many of the cases cured with glue. A man was running a boring machine, with an inch and a quarter auger attached ; by some nieans, the sleeve of his shirt caught in the auger, bringing his wrist in contact with the bit, tearing the flesh among the muscles in a frightful manner. He was conducted to niy apartment (the pattern shop) and I washed the wound in warm water, and glued around it a cloth, which, when dry, shrunk into a rounded shape, holding the wnund tight and firm. Once or twice a week, for three or four weeks, I dressed the wound afresh, until it was well. The niau never lost an hour's time in consequenoe. The truth of this statement hundreds can testify to. I use, of course, the best quslity of glue.
