The injured place got hot and throb- £> began to fester, and the hand swelled up to such an extent that I feared the inflammation was going ta spread into my arm, too. I went to the cnemist, who supplied file with a lotion for the wound, bnt, iustead of bringing mo relief, it caused the hand to became decidedly worse, aiid I began to hate grave concern, as to how the matter would end up. >
