place the patient on his l>ack in a recmnbent
position, witli tin; limbs flexed ; then pl'^Xi the
hand on the tumor, and press gently obli(|aely
upward and outwards. When it is reduced k^ep
it in position until you find a surgeon. When,
however, it is not easily returned, do not u.'^e
violence, but make applications of cold water
until the services of a sur^reon can be obtained.
NOTIFY SURGEON.
Notify sur-
geon at
onco.
Wlumever an accident occurs on the line, the
conductor must immediately telegi*aph the sur-
geon in whose charges the injured person is to l)e
placed, in order that time may be given to pre-
pare for reception of the patient.
Injuries to
tramps.
TRAMPS INJURED.
In cases of injury inflicted by trains upon in-
toxicated persons on the track, tramps stealing
rides, etc., where the emplo^^c^es of the road are
in no way tc blame, the injured persons must, of
course, be carried to a station where humane and
proper treatment can be bestowed; but as such
persons are generally without means, it is not
advisable to take them out of the county in
which the accident occurs. All such cases should
be placed under the care of the county authori-
ties where the injury occurred, as early as pos-
87
sible. In no instance are they to l)e removed Not to ho
beyond the limits of sncli county without express frdnr^*
orders to tliat effect from tlie Division Superin- county,
tendent ; for, if removed beyond the county limits,
tlie Railway Company may be held responsible
for treatment and support.
USE or LIQUOR.
use
Liquors.
The continued or the excessive periodical use Avc.'ui
of malt or alcoholic liquors should be abstained
from l)y every one engaged in operating the road,
not only on account of the great risks to life and
property incurred by entrusting them to the
oversight oi those wdiose intellects may be dulled,
at times when most care is needed, Imt also, arid
especially, because hahitual drmking has a very
had effect ujyon the constitution, which is a
serious matter for men so liable to injury as
railway employees always are. It so lessens the injurious
recuperative powers of the body that simple ^^*"
wounds are follow^ed by the most serious and
dangerous complications. Fractures unite slowly,
if at all, and w^ounds of a grave nature, such as
those requiring the loss of a limb, are almost
sure to end fatally. NO EMPLOYEE CAN
AFFORD TO TAKE SUCH RISKS, AND
THE RAILWAY COMPANY CANNOT AS-
SUME SUCH RESPONSIBILITIES.
