“Vladimir I”
Ths voice Is joyous as die enraptured
trill of ths lark direct from tbe gates of
heaven! It Is Marascha's voice.
“Vladimir;,! am here!”
A little gloved hand is resting on my
arm arresting me; Ite touch shoots to'

Joy, brimming with tears—deep wells of
love, all mine!—Marnscha’s dyes!
“Maruaeha—at last!” I gasp.
My arms surround her, and we kiss
each ether as a pair of beautiful lovers
might kiss when they meet in Paradise,
with the world and Its sorrows behind
blissful union.
I I suppose it Is the platform of a rail­
way station I am treading, and not the
result that ths patient la called upon
to suffer unnecessary pain and distress
until relieved by a competent surgeon.
Time after time we have seen patients
thus suffering who had foolishly In­
trusted themselves to tbe merciless
bands of a bonesetter.
When a dislocation occurs the parts
‘should be kept absolutely st rest^by
means of slings and lightly applied
bandages untill such time as surgical
aid can be obtained. There is no oth­
er treatment, and to attempt more is to
commit error which may have very
far-reaching and disagreeable conse­
quences.
When s Joint Is sprained its liga­
ments are stretched and torn and tbs
muscles around «re bruised «nd I d *
many cases partially torn aa well.
Blood is poured out from tbe bruised
tissues into the joint, which rapidly
becomes swollen, stiff and painful,
more especially when any attempt is ..
made to move it
Tbe Treatment of sprains Is a mat­
ter of tae greatest Importance, as a
-neglected sprain always leads to im­
perfect recovery of the Joint, which Is
very liable to become permanently stiff
and immobile. Efforts should be di­
rected to reduce the swelling and to
prevent the joint from becoming fixed.
At first, to allay tbe pain and «welling,
hot fomentation« ahould be applied for
■ome hours. Then a* large pad of cot­
ton wool «bould be fixed In position
over the joint by means of a bandage.
Within forty-eight hours, or even less,
gentle massage should be commenced,
the Joint being carefully manipulated
at the same time. Douching with hot
and cold water alternately will be
found • useful adjunct to treatment
and later friction with oil will aid In '
restoration of movement When the
Injury has been neglected forcible
movement of tbe joint will be neces­
sary. but this should always Ite carried
out by a good surgeon.
