Treating Burns
BY HERMAN NJ. BUNDESEN NJ. I
IN the treatment Of burns, at
tention 10 the burned areas is, Of
course, important, but attention to
the patients general condition Is
even Of greater Importance. Per-
sons with severe burns are almost
always in a state of shock. The
amount of fluids in the blood Is
decreased and the protein con-
tent Of the blood is also reduced.
Often, the patient is unable TO
eat sufficient protein foods, such
AZ meat, milk and eggs, during the
early period following his injury.
Later, there may be damage TO
the liver as a result Of toxins or
poisons absorbed from the burned
area.
Best Treatment
To rectify these conditions fol-
lowing severe burns, one Of the
best methods Of treatment ap-
parently is the giving of an injee-
ton Of blood plasma in adequate
amount. In severe cases, mini
mum Of a quart of plasma is given
at once, and further quantities
may be necessary over a period
of time, depending on the patients
condition. As soon as the patient
can eat satisfactorily, he should
be put on a diet rich in protein
foods, including milk, lean meat
and eggs.
According to Doctor Ronald W.
Raven of England, the sulfona-
mide drugs should not be given
routinely, particularly when there
Is evidence Of damage to the liver.
However, in cases in which there
has been severe infection Of the
wound with hemolytic streptococ-
Gus and high fever, the use Of the
sulfonamide drugs is beneficial.
After a period of three or four
days, anemia or lessening Of the
coloring in the blood frequently
develops in patients with severe
burns. To overcome this, injec-
tons Of whole blood are helpful.
Anesthetie Given
I-knkr.~ a. the local treatment
on q severe burn Is cons~c1,<a, -
patient is given an anesthetic, #
possible. II not, some pain-deaden-
ing drug such as morphine is in
jected, then the wound is cleaned.
Any blisters present are opened
and Doctor Raven suggests that
a powder Of an antiseptic known
as proflavine be smeared on the
wound, coating the entire area.
The wound area is then covered
with gauze which has been dipped
in petroleum., and then with
more gauze and cotton. This dress
ing is kept firmly in place with
proper bandages and is not re-
moved for a minimum period Of
five days. After that time, the
wound is dressed every ten TO
fourteen days.
Doctor Raven has found that
this treatment does not retard the
healing process and may help to
reduce the soaring.

/ James Patrick Sinnott paddy
Devereux, jr., 11-year -old son and
namesake Of the liberated hero OF
Wake Island, got off a train from
Pittsburgh last night at Union
Station amid flashes from the cam
eras Of five photographers.
His uncle. Joseph Devereux, West
Bradley lane, Chevy Chase, Nd,
who met him, had a radio message
for him from his father, who ar
rived aboard the carrier Panamint
yesterday in Ominato Anchorage on
I the northern tip of Honshu, Japan,
from a remote prison camp.

Paddy was Indifferent yet CO.
operative about the picture taking.
He had the seriousness Of a young
man who is about to enter. a new
hfe-for he and his father are to
enter partnership and buy a farm
and ride horses on it.
His maternal grandparents, Col.
and Mrs. John P. WEIGH, accom-
panied him from Butler, Pa, where
Col. WEIGH, who was quartermaster
of the China Burma India thea
ter, has been having ear treatments
at an Army hospital.
Paddy wore Chinese officers hat,
which his grandfather had brought
him. The boy is only little larger
than the average 11-year- Older but
the breaks in his life pushed him
ahead along the road to manhood.
Mrs. WEIGH told how he had re-
ceived the news-telephoned from
Washington-that his father had
been found and was all right.
Everything was super with him
that day." Mrs. WEIGH said. His
father was going to be home right
away and everything was going to
be wonderful"
Saw rather Last IN 1871.
Paddy was carrying a "Tarzan"
book which he had read on the
long train ride.
He last saw his father almost
four years ago-in October, l941,
when Maj. Devereux said goodbye
to the 7-year- old boy and his 26-
year-old mother as they left for
California from Honolulu. Maj.
DevereuX knew then that he was to
be assigned to the garrison of one
of the Nations island outposts. His
wife was i'll with diabetes. He sent
them to visit Col. and Mrs. WEIGH
who were then at the Army post
at Governors Island in New York
harbor, where Mrs. Devereux could
get the best medical attention. She
died the following July.
Young Devereux was wearing the
bronze ensignia worn by enlisted
men of the Marine Corps 1t would
be hard to find more modest young
fellow.
After the mother died Maj. Deve-
reux wrote the boy that he had
heard he was throwing his weight"
around at school because his father
was a Marine. ~.
Don't be boastful about the Ma
rines," he wrote. They do enough
themselves. 1t was evident that
even from prison camp 5000 miles
away, the influence of Maj. Deve-
reux had an effect in forming the
character of his son..

Struck by Jap Captors.
Maj. Devereux declared he was
struck by his Japanese captors who
put him aboard the Meta Maru, the
ship that took the Wake Islanders to
Shanghai by way of Yokohama.
Maj. Devereux said japanese
sentry slapped him when he started
to explain the contents of an en-

sonal papers that had been passed
by enemy censors at Wake.

The interpreter forced them to

the worst camp he was in during
his long imprisonment was an of
ficers' camp on Hokkaido, where the
Yanks were forced to do menial
tasks and work above ground at the
