z THINK that to every one Of US
there comes a time when a good.
/ sensible knowledge of the proper
treatment of scalds or burns helps
materially in the alienation of pain and
the prevention of subsequent trouble.
have seen children suffer agony for
hours when the remedy was within the
reach of their ignorant elders; and some
grown-ups are carrying scars that are
ugly reminders Of a lack Of care in this
painful trial by fire.
OF course. there are certain general
rules to keep clearly in your mind.
II seems almost unnecessary to en-
phasize the fact that. if clothing be on
fire. the person should be placed quickly
on the floor and covered with a wooden
rug or coat. The fiat position prevents
the rising Of the flames TO the head. Sc
rious harm results from the inhalation
of IRE or fumes. Much injury can be
prevented by a cool head and q clear
idea OF what TO do.
In cases Of burns and sCalds the cloth
ing must be removed in the most care
fuI way. II torn off. there will also
come the skin, and that means longer
time for the healing process. Blisters
should not be broken. Cut away any
material that surrounds the Injured
parts. Never mind about the dress;
there are other things more important
at this time.
A slight burn can be treated with
solution of baking soda, using a heaping
tablespoonful 10 a cup Of water. Soft
linen soaked in this should be applied
IN bandage form. This is very effectual
in cases of scalds. where the skin is not
broken.
Pain is felt when the injured parts
come in contact with the air. Any salve
that excludes the air from the wound
should be applied. You will find that
vaseline is excellent. at the same time
Fastening the healing. Place it upon the
skin before bandaging with linen strips.
II burns or scalds are deep enough
TO affect the cells of the true skin, there
is a liability of dishguring scars. Ex-
tensive. or intense burns should be care
fully watched. OF course, medical ad-
vice is best in extreme cases. A daily
massage with a good cold cream will
prevent scars from slighter cases. This
keeps up the circulation and It's cOnSe-
quent repair of the tissues and prevents
the wTlnkling and puckering of the skin.

every home. II is known as Carron oil.
