4 The cooking soda is to be applied TO
burns, sunburns, stings and hives. The
| syrup Sof ipecac is TO be used 20 pro-
| duce vomiting whenever indicator and
| tickling the fauces with the finger has
proved ineffective.
The uiarrhoea mixture is to be given

with cramping
The oil OF cloves is to applied to the
cavities of aching teeth with a pledget
OF cotton and q toothpick. A little alco-
hol snuffed into the nostril and the
same side as the aching tooth often
| gives relief
The Monsel's solution OF iron is 20
be used TO control severe nose bleed or
local hemorrhage. IL can be applied
on cotton
The rubber tourniquet is 20 be used
| to control squirting hemorrhages in the
extremities. The splints are to be APP
piled in frature cases. The splint
should be applied outside OF the
clothing and without making any ef-
fort to reduce the fracture. The sole
purpose of the first aid splint in frac-
ture case is to permit the patient TO be
moved without injury to the soft It's
sues from the sharp ends of the bone.
In addition I would strongly advise
that every school be provided with a
first aid manikin. This shows the
methods OF giving first aid, especially
fixation of fractures, Aside from its
| use as a first aid help, IL can be made
use of for the purpose of teaching
anatomy and physiology.
In addition to its first aid cabinet ev-
cry school should have a welfare cab
met.
