In this case, also, the man experienced little pain, and there was comparatively little hemorrhage.

Maclean reports the history of an accident to a man of twenty-three who had both arms caught between a belt and the shaft while working in a woolen factory, and while the machinery was in full operation.

He was carried around the shaft with great velocity until his arms were torn off at a point about four inches below the shoulder-joint on each side.

The patient landed on his feet, the blood spurting from each brachial artery in a large stream.

His fellow-workmen, without delay, wound a piece of rope around each bleeding member, and the man recovered after primary amputation of each stump.
