cool water as remedy for Burns" "
The burned portion should be soaked
several hours in water. Persons who.e
haGds have been severely burned have
experienced such relief by placing
them in basin of water at the bed-i c
that Il ey could sleep comfortable all
the night, and wake to find themselves
almost az we'll IL ever. The remedy is
