 Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 Notoriously, little children fre- quently are subjected to cuts, bruis- es, burns, and similar injuries of the skin, which carry with them the possibility of infection. In such cases, the first aid given at home is of greatest importance in pre- venting secondary infection or dan- gerouS complications.
 Whenever germs get into the body and begin to release their poisonous products, the human be- ing may eract with fever and chills and usually with an increased nubmer of white blood cells.
 Tn Q severe infection there is swelling and redness of the part, as well as pain and tenderness. How ever, if suitable first aid treatment is given promptly, there is no req son for occurrence of a general re- action affecting the body.
 A great many different antisep- tic substances are available for use in first aid for children. The child may object seriously to use of an antiseptic substace which burns on application. For this reason many infants refuse to have cuts or in factions painted with tincture of iodine.
 Among other first aid antisep- tics which have been found of value are mercurochrome and metaphor, as well as solution of hexylresor- ciaol. From the point of view of an- tiseptic efficiency, iodine usually is believed to be safer than any of the others, but all have been found to have virtue, particularly as they are applied to human tissue.
 Effects on the human body are not quite the same as the results shown by comparative tests of var ious antiseptics made with germs in a test tube.
 Danger to fingernails, from be- ing mashed or caught in door, al- so is worthy of attention. Infection underneath the fingernail, or des- truction of the matrix from which the fingernail grows, may result in sufiicient damage to the nail plate to produce a crooked fingernail for the rest of the persons life.
 If a doctor is called to see pa- tient having Q ilngernail under which there is infection, he will likely bore a hole through the nail to permit the infection to escape, or else cut away that portion Of the nail which is over the infection.
 After tho infected material is re- nauved, hot Concentrations and hot

antiseptics may be applied until the infection clears up completely. Then the fingernail will grow again and recovery will be completed.
 Ordinary small bruises hardly demand more than casual amount of attention and care, since the blood and the natural mechanism of the body are able to bring about healing.
 Pain is relieved for most condi- tions by application of heat or cold.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-21

A young lady with uncommon gall even for these times tells the world that she is a dietitian and that she always smokes cigarettes which steady the nerves and promote di- gestion by increasing the secretion of gastric juice, especially when smoked before meals, during meals and after meals! She did not say whether it is advisable to get up at night and smoke few more, in or der to keep the gastric juice flowing freely until breakfast.
 It seems too bad that the patients of Drs. Brandel, Secher and Gray did not have the advice of this learned dietitian. Think of how much more effectively they might have promoted their digestion had they used the right kind.
 Hyperacidity (hyperchlorhydria) , the secretion of excessive hydro chlorci (muriatic) acid in the stom- ach, is 8 common complaint of per- sons who smoke too much. Heartburn is the name of the dis tress caused by reorganization of acid gastric juice into the lower part of the esophagus. Waterbrash is the name of the distress caused by re- gurgitation of acid gastric juice or undigested chyme from the stomach up to the throat. For the temporary relief of heartburn or waterbraash or "sour. stomach" or "acid stom- ach" probably five or ten grains of calcium carbonate is more effective and less objectionable than soda, magnesia and other alkaliS gener- ally used for the purpose. Anyone with excessive acidity of stomach may take five or ten grains of cal- cium carbonate Gin powder or tab- let) at any time or several times a day if desired, with impunity. Many find it more satisfactory than the alkalis commonly used as anti-acidS.
