Those glassy eyes; that sallow face; and the fold, the ghastly fold that runs on both sides of the mouth, of that mouth filled with blood now clotting, they show that life is gone. Still the savage keeps his bow well in hand, as with head and neck extended he steals forward slowly, mistrustfully approaching his victim.
"Thus any substance, any poison that is dialyzable is diffused into the surrounding salt solution and the blood is passed back into the body, with no air in it, no infection, and without alteration. Clotting is prevented by the injection of a harmless substance derived from leeches, known as hirudin.
Warm water, he reflected, would serve better than cold in removing that clotting blood and dressing the hurt. Then, saying no further word, but filled with admiration for the girl's pluck, he seized the pail and started for water. "Nerve?" he said to himself, as he ran down the road toward a little brook he remembered having crossed, a few hundred yards to southward. "Nerve, indeed!
These artificial juices, when added to hydrochloric acid of the proper strength, have high digestive powers. The cause of the clotting of blood is not yet fully understood. Although the process has been thoroughly investigated we have not yet a satisfactory explanation why the circulating blood does not clot in healthy blood-vessels.

"Who is it that was hit at the gun there?" "Mr. Nipper, the boatswain, sir, the last shot has cut him in two."
Tom wiped away the blood, which was now clotting, with his own handkerchief. "Help me to stand him on his feet, Harry," Reade then commanded. Between them they dragged the heavy fellow to his feet, but Gato promptly cast himself down again. "We'll haul you up again," Tom went on, patiently.

Another thing.
But for this, a very small cut might cause bleeding sufficient to empty the blood-vessels, and death would speedily follow. In slight cuts, Nature plugs up the wound with clots of blood, and thus prevents excessive bleeding. The unfavorable effects of the want of clotting are illustrated in some persons in whom bleeding from even the slightest wounds continues till life is in danger.
