then Mrs. Livingston, to make the es-

However, word is then received which

lions is that the first aid man. who
always accompanies the miner in the
ambulance, must see 10 it that the
driver never stops ON the way TO the
hospital. Before the advent of the first
aid corps, the driver generally stopped
TO water his mules before a saloon or
hotel. which was frequently a reminder
that ne as well rs the mules needed re-
freshment. While he was obtaining it
the injured man had TO lie neglected.
Frequently whisky would be given to
him also. in such quantities that after
a long and injurious delay he would
reach the hospital with his mine nju-
ries complicated by another trouble.
The watchfulness of the corps man
now prevents all this. To avoid the
danger OF mistakes the corps is forbid
den 10 give any medicine and no stinlu-
liant may be administered save hot
Hack coffee-never whisky. AS soon as
the injured man is taken home the re-
sponsibility OF the first aid corps
ceases.
To test the understanding of this i'm
portant rule. Or. Halberstadt at re-
cent lecture asked one Of the corps:
Suppose a man is burned in the mines
and YOU dress his injuries and accom-
pany him home. What method of treat
l,ment would you adopt when YOU visit
him the next day" was the quick re-
ply. because I would be liable to ar
rest for practicing medicine without
license"
This shows that the first aiders have'
! learned the ethics of their profession as
well as manual skill in il. They only
act when some member Of the regular
medical staffs are not quickly avail
| able.

the passengers after train has

to the idea Of revenge. While not
