The slight hemorrhage of the summer had had no successor; there were no further signs of active mischief; and for his general condition it was thought that the nervous shock of his accident, and the obstinate blood-poisoning which had followed it, might sufficiently account. The doctors, however, had pressed hard for sunshine and open-air the Riviera, Sicily, or Algiers.
If you want to make a mark on the skin that will be permanent, you have to prick the colors into it so deeply that they will go through the basement layer and reach cells which will not grow toward the surface. This "pricking-in" operation is known as tattooing; and it is as foolish as it is painful, for blood-poisoning and other diseases may be carried into the system in the process.
And I obeyed her as one always had, merely remarking that I was getting along famously now. "You must have had an awful time," continued Catherine, seating herself near me, her calm wise eyes on mine. "Blood-poisoning," said I. "It nearly knocked me out, but I'm glad to say it didn't quite." Indeed, I had never felt quite so glad before.
"Delirious?" said the Sheikh, hesitating. "Oh, yes, I know mad." "And blood-poisoning would have set in. Without attention he would have been a dead man before a week had passed." "But now, O Hakim now?" "With care and attention to his wound he will soon recover." "Hah! It is good. His people would have slain us if he had fallen." "But what about now, Ibrahim?" said the professor.
"But can Le Boeuf be moved?" "Well er no. Frankly, I would not take the risk." "Then you consider his condition alarming?" "Alarming enough to know that unless things take a sudden turn for the better, blood-poisoning will set in. We shall then have to amputate. These cases sometimes prove fatal."
"If you get up, with this fever on you, and the leg in that state, you will have blood-poisoning," said Anderson quietly, "which will either kill you or detain you here for weeks. You say you want to talk business with me. Well, here I am. In an hour's time I must go to Calgary for an appointment. Suppose you take this opportunity." McEwen stared at his son.
Panthers, also, though shy of human beings, are fierce when at bay, and I have been told that a scratch from their claws nearly always results in fatal blood-poisoning. It is the tiger, however, which is most to be feared. General throughout the country, a traveller through jungle or forest must be ever alert, so stealthy are its movements, and so audacious is it in its depredations.
He also described in simple language the consequences which result from being bitten consequences which range from hydrophobia and tetanus down to simple blood-poisoning. Then he passed on to show that human bites, inflicted, so he said, oftener with the tongue than with the teeth, were far more dangerous than those of dogs.
The Church, suffering from blood-poisoning, is pronounced cured when the sores have been covered. They put a plaster over the gap in Zion's wall, which may hide, but does not heal, the breach. Universally, sectarian henotics have proved to be spiritual quacks with false aims, false methods, and false diagnosis.
Haven't you heard pa tell how soldiers died from slight wounds? from blood-poisoning? If we have to go, we might as well go at once." According to his light, the boy reasoned well. But when the wayfaring man had most skillfully retold the story of the Good Samaritan, the older boy relented somewhat, while Dell beamed with enthusiasm at the opportunity of rendering every assistance.
