If the blood be welling up from the wound and of a dark red colour it is venous blood, if it spurt up from the wound and be of a bright red colour it is arterial blood. What has to be done is to place a pressure on the vein or artery to prevent the blood escaping. Venous bleeding may generally be stopped by putting a pad of lint dipped in cold water on the wound and tying it on with a bandage.
Beyond a certain draped over a recess at one end of the waiting-room I saw a row of boxes, a box of lint and other medical paraphernalia. It was the doctor's dispensary. Perhaps I might find there an envelope. I crossed the room and looked. Immediately around the corner, on a level with my eyes, was a packet of foolscap envelopes and a stick of black sealing-wax!
Yes, that bandage will do. It's fresh. Hold up his leg. No, durak, under the knee there.... Where's the lint?... Turn him a little there like that. Horosho, golubchik. Seitchass! No, turn it back over the thigh. Now, once more ... that's it. What's that bullet or shrapnel?... Take it back again, over the shoulder.... Yes, twice!"

Not a word," said the doctor sternly; "only help me here. Quick! my case, lint, bandages, and splints." But Sam did not move. He stood as if turned to stone, gazing where the light shone upon Harry Frere's thin, worn face, and reading recognition in the eyes fixed full upon his. "Oh!" he cried, with a sob, and forgetting everything he sprang to the side of the litter and dropped upon his knees.
"You forget," said the Countess, "you nursed our hospital, and made lint for the soldiers' wounds." "But did not papa come to help you?" said Julian. "Papa came at last," said the Countess, "and so did Prince Rupert but not, I think, till they were both heartily wished for.
Although he was sixty-eight, he showed as much briskness and sprightliness as any young sawbones calling in a friendly way to perform a little operation. He had brought an instrument case, some linen bands and some lint. However, he became angry on finding the injured man nervous, flushed and hot with fever. "Ah! I see that you haven't been reasonable, my dear child," said he.
