The best way in which to treat such wounds is by the _open method_. This consists in packing the wound with iodoform or bismuth gauze, which is left in position as long as it adheres to the raw surface. The packing may be renewed at intervals until the wound is filled by granulations; or, in the course of a few days when it becomes evident that the infection has been overcome, _secondary_ sutures may be introduced and the edges drawn together, provision being made at the ends for further packing or for drainage-tubes.
