Burns are among the most common
accidents. They often result from
contact with hot stoves, furnaces, cleo
trical apparatus, from hot lard OF
grease, from matches and number of
other things. During the winter when
stoves and furnaces are il use. the
children spend much of Their time
playing indoors, accidents resulting
in burns are especially likely 70 oc-
cur. Many small children learn that
certain objects are hot through the
painful experience of a burn.
Many burns are more or less trivial.
They merely cause redness of very
limited area of the skin. They are
painful but not dangerous. But some
times burns are severe and dangerous
either being deep, or covering much
of the surface. 1t is generally stated
that burn which involves two-thirds
of the skin will prove fatal.
While superficial burns which are
small in extent may be treated by
home remedies, all deeper and more
extensive burns should have the care
of physician.
Vaseline Effective
The pain of slight surface burns
may usually be controlled by some
protective covering which shuts out
the air. One of the best applications
is plain, sterile vaseline. This may be
applied on sterile gauze or on a clean
cloth. Cotton makes a disagreeable
dressing for burns, if it is applied d.
feetly to the burn. If no vaseline is
at hand, butter, lard, cream, or little
moistened bicarbonate of soda may be
used. These are things which are US
ually available for first aid treatment.
Extensive burns and deep burns
may cause considerable constitution
al disturbance. They are accompanied
by more or less shock. The shock NAV
be followed by considerable fever.
Complications involving the kidneys
and lntestines may result from syste-
matte poisoning, the result of toxic.
or poisonous substances produced by
the burn. Then there is always the
possibility Of the wounds resulting
from burns becoming infected. Hence,
efforts to care for victims of serious
burns should be limited to what first
aid is necessary until the services of
physician are obtained.
First aid consists in the removal of
clothing, care to avoid the introduction
OF germs into the damaged tissues
and efforts to combat shock. It is
usually best to cut away clothing.
treat care should be exercised to
cause no unnecessary pain and to
avoid further injury to the tissues. If
any of the clothing sticks, and it often
does in cases of severe burning, it
may usually be loosened by soaking
the part in warm water.
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1926-02-04

Bringing into contact with the
wounds clothing, hands, or anything
else that may carry germs should be
avoided as far as possible.
The wounds should be covered with
sterile gauZe or clean cloths.
To combat shock, wrap the patient
in blankets and keep him warm by
means of carefully protected hot water
bottles, hot irons, hot bricks, or hot
plates. Be very careful not to infict
additional burns. Lay him so that the
head is slightly lowered, and keep him
quiet until the doctor comes.

ASTHMA CURED

confidence in his ability to cure that
he will send regular $1.25 bottle
free, postpaid, to any sufferer who

to be paid for it if it cures. If not,
your report cancels the charge. If you

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Warts

Mrs. L. P. writes: Several of the
children in this neighborhood have
been troubled with warts on the hands
Ny own little boy never had any
warts until now. Now he has some
on his hands like many of the other
children. What causes warts? Are
they contagious? What will cure
j them?"
Reply-Warts are probably caused
by infection. They are probably mild
ly contagious. They frequently dis
appear spontaneously. Their tendency
to spontaneously disappearance is ap-
parently the basis of the commonly
encountered belief in the many charms
used as cures. Cleanliness and the use
of some preparation containing salicy-
lie acid will usually cause their dis
appearance. Corn medicine contain
ing salcylic acid is good remedy.
Vaccination
E. S. writes: "Three years ago |
was vaccinated against smallpox. I
am now teaching where there has
been an outbreak of a few cases of
smallpox. Is there any danger of
me getting it? Should I be vaccinat-
ed AGAIN."
Reply-The chances are that if you
were successfully vaccinated three
years ago you will not get smallpox.
Immunity, however, is a relative
thing. 1t is best to have vaccination
repeated whenever there is an out
break of smallpox in your commun-
ity. That is, unless you have had
very recent successful vaccination.
Successful vaccination is the only
known thing that protects against
smallpox.

Maine Insurance
Head Rules Against
Mutual Auto Liability

Hon. Wilbur D. Spencer. State in
surance commissioner, Thursday, is
sued a ruling against mutual liability
companies undertaking to write group
insurance upon automobiles for their
employees at less than manual rates.
This practice has been prohibited in
Massachusetts, by order of Wesley E.
Monk, insurance commissioner for
that state, according to information
received here Thursday.
1.-THE basis for the reduction Of rates
in such cases is predicated upon the
assumption that their individual loss
experiences in such cases reflect re-
duced hazards" said Commissioner
Spencer.
'1t is. therefore, an application of
experience rating to liability insur-
ance by each individual carrier in
volved, based upon a short term of
observation and a reduced area of
hazard. 1t is inconsistent with the
principle of sound underwriting at
seasoned rates in the full field of ex-
posture.
"The trend of automobile liability
is still indefinite on account of the
magnitude of the hazard and the linn
tied area of coverage.
Another feature which is subver-
sive of resident agency laws is the
