    It is used for stopping hemorrhage of the temporal artery, or of any of its branches; it may be conveniently replaced by a graduated compress and a single-headed roller, a few circulars of moderate tightness being all that is in general required to arrest the how of blood. The Double T Bandage of the Nose [I. 21.] is composed of a narrow band about a yard long and half an inch broad, upon the middle of which are stitched at right angles, and about three fourths of an inch apart, two others of the same breadth, and of about one half the length of the first. The middle of the transverse band, <2, is placed upon the upper lip, the two others being directed upward; the extremities of the first are then conducted below the ears as far as the nape of the neck, where they are fastened by a bow; the vertical bands, b b, crossed at the root of the nose, are diverged upon the brow, and carried along the parietal bones to the transverse portion of the bandage, under which they are made to pass, and are reflected upward and secured. It is used simply to confine a dressing upon the nose. The Monocle [II. 1.] is composed of a single-headed roller four or five yards long and two fingers’ breadth wide. In applying it, two horizontal turns are first made round the forehead ; the head of the roller upon reaching, for the second time, the nape of the neck, is carried under the ear of the affected side and obliquely upward to the eye, inclined towards its internal angle; pursuing the same direction, it crosses the forehead over the sound eye near the temple of the same side, to arrive again at the nape. Two or three more oblique turns being made in a similar manner, in the form of doloires, open inferiorly, a a a,, the bandage is terminated by a few horizontal circulars about the brow, b b. It is used to confine a dressing upon the eye ; but, being liable to displacement, the head should be covered with a nightcap.
