3319. Drop a solution of sulphate of copper (from one to three grains of the salt to one ounce of water) into the eye, or keep the eye open in a wine-glassful of the solution.
3320. Take a purgative, bathe with cold lotion, and exclude light to keep down inflammation.
3321. Dislocated Thumb.—This is frequently produced by a fall. Make a clove hitch, by passing two loops of cord over the thumb, placing a piece of rag under the cord to prevent it cutting the thumb; then pull in the same line as the thumb. Afterward apply a cold lotion.
3322. Cuts and Wounds.—Cut thin strips of sticking-plaster, and bring the parts together; or if large and deep, cut two broad pieces so as to look like the teeth of a comb, and place one on each side of the wound, which must be cleaned previously.
3323. These pieces must be arranged so that they shall interlace one another; then, by laying hold of the pieces on the right hand side with one hand, and those on the other side with the other hand, and pulling them from one another, the edges of the wound are brought together, and without any difficulty.
