A weep ing elnew Is the same'thing. A little «Welling forms, and the fluid distends It more and more aa It collects. Tbs •welling Is elastic and so ft Some times It is small and does not cans* I any trouble, and occasionally It passes away without any treatment, it may yield to long continued gentle pressure, like that which a ribbon .band exerts. A well placed ribbon bandage also helps to relieve the fooling o f weak ness that almost always accompanies In a few cases the fluid that tba ganglion contains la tuberculous, but In moat cassa the ganglionic swelling la entirely harmless. In tobereoioua cu es It is beat to remove the ahaatb and its contents completely.. Ganglions are usually seen on tbs back o f tbs w rist bnt sometimes oaa comes on tbs front and Increases in ■ise. It is then likely to spread down the sinews into the palm o f the hand. That naturally cripples tbs victim mors or Isas, especially since tbs swelling often gives pain In cold and damp weather. ' There are various ways o f breaking a weeping sinew Sometimes it can be dispersed by sudden pressure applied by tbe thumbs, which bunts the ganglion without breaking the akin. It Is beat then to bandage tbe part very tightly in order to prevent tbe little sac from filling up again. Th* band age should contain some thin, bard substance, xucb as a large coin, direct ly over tbe site of the sac. Sometimes a ganglion refusas to bunt, but yields to tight bandaging combined with treat ment by a blister or by painting with Iodine. Tbe cure In such cases Is ef fected by gradual absorption. I f other means fall there Is nothing to do but to open the ganglion and scrape ont Us contents.—Youth’s Companion.
