Treatment of Burns.

Bu~;Ls may be ordinary. but they lose
none OF their smart because of the ease
with which they are acquired. Some
for getting burned. IL they strike a
match, it breaks and scorches them,
while visit to the kitchen ends in a
burn from the oven or scald from hot
water or steam. OF course the right
thing to do with burn is to get it
away from alI contact with the air and
to do this with all possible haste.
The necessary articles for the treat
ment should be on hand, and they are
baking soda-not washing soda, notice
fresh fat of some sort and several
thicknesses of cotton cloth. 1t is an
excellent plan to have bottle Of car
ron oil ready for such emergencies
Carrop oil is made by shaking together
equal parts of linseed oil and hmewa-
ter. If the skin is broken over the
burn, use the oil without the soda.
Otherwise moisten the soda with olive
oil or sweet oil or even lard or cold
cream and apply it. over this wrap
the cloth. Cotton batting is often used
for covering the burn and keeping out
the air. but it is not to be recommend
ed.e 1t is not a good plan to use -four,
busting it over burn, for it frequently
hardens and is OF little comfort.
One of the simplest measures for a
superficial burn is to apply the white of
an egg with a soft piece of old muslin,
adding more as 1t dries.
