The following from the jackson
Pilot is worth preserving: When a
splinter has been driven deep into
child's hands it can be extracted by
steam. Nearly fill wide-mouthed

injured part over the mouth and press
it slightly. The suction thus pro-
duced will draw the flesh down, and
in a minute or two the steam will
extract splinter and inflammation to-
gether.
