Faunching.
This
is
a
method
frequently
resorted
to
in
dan-
gerous
cases.
The
operation
is
performed
in
the
following
manner:
Take
a
sharp
penknife
and
gently introduce
it
into
the
paunch
between
the
haunch-bone
and
the
last
rib
on
the
left
side.
This
will
instantly
give
vent
to
a
large
quantity
of
fetid
air;
a
small
tube
of
a
sufficient
length
may
then
be
introduced
into
the
wound,
and
remain
until
the
air
is
sufficiently
evacuated
;
afterward
take
out
the
tube
and
lay
a
pitch-plaster
over
the
orifice.
Wounds
of
this
kind
are
seldom
attended
with
danger
;
where
it
has
arisen,
it
has
been
occasioned
by
the injudicious
operator
introducing
his
knife
into
a
wrong
part.
After
the
wind
is
expelled
and
tne
body
has
been
reduced
to
its
natural
state,
give
the
following:
