816. To Confine the Ends of Bandages

Chapter 1039 120 words
To confine the ends of bandages some persons use pins, others slit the end for a short distance, and tie the two strips into a knot, and some use a strip of adhesive plaster. Always place the point of a pin in such a position that it cannot prick the patient, or the person dressing the limb, or be liable to be drawn out by using the limb; therefore, as a general rule, turn the head of the pin from the free end of the bandage, of towards the upper part of the limb. The best mode is to _sew_ the bandage on. A few stitches will hold it more securely than pins can. [LITTLE DEEDS ARE LIKE LITTLE SEEDS.]
