PILLOWS FOR WOUNDED.
Only those who have lain weary days and weeks in pain can realise the relief given by a change of position or by some support arranged just in the right place. A very useful cushion is circular !ti shape, about six inckes in width when a round of material has been cut from tho centre—about as large as a small saucer. Jein up strongly, and fill with feathers, vegetable d«wn, or ravelled-out wool (washed and aired first). The easiest way to fill is to sew up a few inches of the inner circle, after the outer one has been stitched all round, then put in some stuffing, and so on, taking care to leave no hollow spaces] until the cushion is quite full. This pillow is splendid for supporting a painful knee (or ankle, if made in a smaller size). The patient can lie on the side for a change, with the swollen part, or joint, resting over the centre hollow; while for a heel that may not be turned on one side, somthing of the kind is really necessary.
