originally,
or
from
the
long
continuance
of
a
feverish
state
produced
by
the
inflammation
attending
the
wound,
or
from
weakness
arising
from
confinement,
or
connected
with
its
constitution
naturally,
and
if
the
wound
appear
to
be
in
a
stationary
state,
very
pale
and
flabby
on
its
edges,
with
a
tliin
dis-
charge,
then
better
food
may
be
given
to
it
;
and,
if
still
no
change
should
be
observed
along
with
the
bettor
food,
the
wound
may
be
treated
somewhat
differently
from
what
has
been
already
advised.
The
ointment
may
be
made
more
stimulant,
by
adding
to
it
some
rosin
and
less
beeswax,
—
or,
what
would
be
more
stimulant
still,
some
common
turpentine
;
but
it
is
only
in
very
rare
cases
that
oi-
of
turpentine
can
be
requisite.
The
effects
of
an
alteration
in
the
mode
of
treatment
should
be
par-
ticularly
remarked,
and
stimulants
should
be
laid
aside,
continued, or
increased
according
as
may
be
judged
proper.
Before
changing
the
dressings
ap-
plied
to
the
wound,
or
before
rendering
them
more
stimulant
and
active
by
using
heating
applications,
the
effect
of
closer
bandaging
may
be
tried;
for,
sometimes,
by
keeping
the
parts
a
little
more
firmly
together
the
cure
is
promoted.

In
case
of
severe

attention
should
be
paid
to
the
condition

spects.
There
