America is synonymous with much noiss
and a plentitude of hair-breadth escapes.
Happy for the victim of nerves If she
can gather her flock about her and fit
countryward, though even then powder
and crackers, rockets and snakes, pin
wheels and pistols count their victims, by
the score.
Worse than all, the doctor is apt to be
miles away, and mother herself must be
ready to pick out powder, bind up wounds.

cotton. a bottle of antiseptc tablets for

ounce of aromatic spirit Of ammonia for
a st,nulant in case of shock. a reliable
lotion for burns. a paper of pins. pair of
scissors and a plainly written What to
Do list, that she can hastily consult if
her memory plays her false.

water. This makes "a "carion oil. which
the Welsh miners use in case of burns.

where household remedies are kept. In
applying it, shake the bottle. saturate a
soft cloth with the mixture and lay over

Shock" which is always present in
severe burns. requires the administration
of stimulants The amount of shock or
collapse after any bad injury or sudden
fright differs with the character of in
divduals. Some succumb to it much more
readily than others. When serious, tho
temperature drops below normal. the face
