Bleeding from the Nose.In some cases it becomes necessary to resort to mechanical means in order to arrest the bleeding. This is, to a certain extent, working in the dark, since it is not always possible to ascertain from what point the blood issues. It is always better to summon a medical man in cases of bleeding from the nose which resist the measures already described ; but in the meantime a piece of soft cloth, such as an old handkerchief, may be rolled into the shape of a cone of such size that it can enter the nostrils easily. This may be wound with thread so as to make it firm and yet leave the surface smooth. After being dipped in alum water or spirits of turpentine, this plug can then be gently introduced into the nose and allowed to remain there. At times it becomes necessary to plug the nostrils where they open into the throat as well as in front. This operation can scarcely be performed by any one except a surgeon. Some individuals have a bleeding from the nose periodically, and seem to feel better after it. Such persons usually feel dull and stupid and suffer from headache for a day or two before the bleeding occurs.
