The Palmerston “Times'’ reports a singular accident which occured while Dr. Hislop was delivering a lecture to the members of the Palmerston. branch of St. John Ambulance Association recently. Sergeant Guffie was preparing some splints for the practical portion of the doctor’s lecture, when his knife accidently slipped and perforated one of the veins of the thigh. The wound bled profusely, and Dr. Hislop had to abandon his lecture in order to attend to the sufferer. It is seldom that members of an ambulance class are- treated to such a practical demonstration of what is required in cases of bleeding.
