Fracture of the Nose.A fracture of the bones of the nose is not always easy to detect, because the parts are so much swollen that it is impossible to feel the outline. It is generally necessary to examine the inside of the nose - a matter which can be successfully done only by an. experienced hand. Treatment.-So long as the parts are much swollen, no attempt should be made to set the broken bones. Cloths saturated: with cold water should be applied until the swelling subsides The bone should then be raised into position by inserting a small pencil into the nostril and prying the depressed fragment outward ; we may assist this effort by the judicious use of the fingers on the outside. We should not discontinue the attempt, even though there be pretty free bleeding from the nose, for if the bone heals in its unnatural position there will, of course, remain an unsightly deformity. If the bones do not stay in place, a plug of tightly-rolled cotton should be inserted into the nostrils to keep them in position. This cotton should be covered with rubber or with oiled silk, and be smeared with sweet oil or vaseline. It should be taken out for half an hour every day in order not to cause rawness and ulceration of the nose ; it will be better to make a fresh plug each day.
