FOR HOUSEHOLD AND FARM 11 First Aid Hints The following suggestions on what to do and what not to do in case of sudden illness or accident are given by an experienced first aid man. Don't try to pour water, whisky, or any fluid down the throat of a person in a faint, as it may cause suffocation. The passage to the stomach, where all solids and fluids should go, is closed; the passage to the lungs, where only air should go, is open. Anything other than air going down this passage may cause suffocation. First lay the person down, head low; loosen all tight clothing from about the neck and body; provide for plenty of fresh'air; hold smelling salts to the nostrils; sprinkle cold water on the face and neck. When the patient can swallow give stimulants in very small quantities. Don't put a hot water bottle or a hot brick against anyones skin until you have tried the heat of it against your elbow. Trying it against the palm of your hand is useless, as you can stand much more heat on the palm of your hand without causing a burn than on skin which is usually protected by clothing. A hot water bottle, when applied too hot, has caused a severe and slow-healing burn. Don't move anyone who has had an accident and has fallen down until you have found out where the injury is. It may be a simple fracture. Movement before splints and bandages are properly applied may cause a more serious injury. The sharp, ragged ends of broken bones may break through the skin, making a wound into which dangerous germs would make their way, causing blood poisoning. Or a flow of blood might come from the wound, causing serious loss of blood. Stop any bleeding, cover any wounds with as clean cloths as possible, fix splints and bandages to hold the broken bones from doing any further damage. Get a doctor as soon as possible. If moving has to be done every precaution must be taken not to make matters worse. Blood Blisters.If you happen to get what is known as a blood blister or "check" don't burst it. There may be some pain, but when broken an open wound is created, with all the attendant danger of germs and blood, poisoning. The blister will not bother you much if left alone, and will disappear in a day or two. Mosquito Bites.Dampen the spot, cover with common baking soda or household ammonia powder, which will take away the inflammation promptly. Burns and ScaldsCover with baking soda and lay wet cloths over the injured part. Sweet or olive oil, or linseed oil mixed with lime water is good, Chamberlain's Salve will allay the pain of a burn almost instantly and cause it to heal without leaving a scar unless the injury is a very severe one. Sunstroke.Get the patient into the shade, loosen the clothing, and apply ice-cold water to the head.
