Now, supposing your rmse bleeds by the right nostril, with the end of the } f-re linger feel along the outer edge of the tight jaw until you feel the heating of the arte ry directly under your finger, the same as the pulse in jour wrist, then press the finger hard ppnn it, thus getting the little fellow in n -tight place be tween your finger and the jaw-hone ; the result will be 'hat not a drop of blood goes into that side of your lace while the pressure continues; hence the nose instantly stops bleeding for want of blood to flow; c>o intie the pressure for five or ten minutes nod the ruptured vessels in the nose will by that time probably contract so lha' when you let the blood into them they will not leak, Weeding from a cut or wound anywhere about the face may b< stopped in the same way.
