Seite 19 - Desault iaught us, that in order to change the nature of wounds, from a complicated to a simple state, it was not sufficient to make the part bleed : that in order to attain this end, 'it was necessary to remove the bruised edges with a sharp knife, and then to unite the wound with a suture ; and that this method is practicable only in wounds of the face, and in solutions of continuity of the soft parietes of the mouth.
