It was Slaughterhouse Hampton, whose service-ribbons started with the Indian campaigns, speaking; an officer who never for an instant imagined that his orders would not be obeyed. "Get a tourniquet on that man's leg, you!" He moderated his voice and manner about half a degree and spoke to Vehrner. "You are not the doctor, you're the patient, now. You'll do as you're told.
If you have with you an antivenomous serum, inject it as directed by the formula that accompanies it. Every little while loosen the tourniquet, then tighten it again, for it will not do to stop the circulation entirely.
Not knowing whether Roger would arrive in a carriage or on foot, the needlewoman from the Rue du Tourniquet looked by turns at the foot-passengers, and at the tilburies light cabs introduced into Paris by the English.
When she returned Roger's sleeve had been removed, revealing an ugly wound in the lower part of his left arm, cut by the cork of a horseshoe, made long and sharp because of the iciness of the streets. A tourniquet had been applied to the upper part of the arm to prevent further hemorrhage, and under the administration of stimulants he was giving signs of returning consciousness.
The hakims will give you a soothing draught soon, and you can have cool drinks when you want them. "Things went on as well as I could have wished.

It was capitally done"; and the old doctor looked at the girl with as much admiration as curiosity in his face. "Never mind that. See to the wound, please, while I ran for bandages, and salts, and wine."
I was surprised when my eye met, through the chinks between the dark window blinds and the window cases, the brighter light of the coming dawn. When I went back to the sofa and took the tourniquet from Mrs. Grant, she went over and pulled up the blinds.
