The shoulder and breast are exposed to deep and extensive wounds from shafts, from the pole and the splinter-bar. Until professional assistance can be obtained, all that need be done is to arrest the bleeding, which, however, is seldom very profuse from lacerated wounds. Some blood must escape, and much may be lost before life is endangered; but if a large stream be running from some particular point, pressure may be applied till the veterinarian arrive. Endeavor to seize the wounded vessel between the finger and thumb, or apply a finger on the origin of the stream. This is better than general pressure, by means of a handkerchief, which fills the wound with blood, and prevents a proper examination by the veterinarian. Bleeding wounds on the legs may be bound by a handkerchief.
