Proper Treatment

quent. Greasing the body does not
make it warmer: on the contrary.
Proper treatment begins with
prompt recognition Of the onset.
The skin areas most likely TO
froStbite are the places where the
circulation is most sluggish-the
nose, ears, fingers and toes. Any
numbness Of these parts when ex-
posed TO cold should have prompt
and proper recognition.
If whiteness due to anemia has
occurred, too rapid warming is
likely to lead to complications. Sit
ting right in front of a stove or
over a radiator is poor treatment.
The best source Of heat is a part
of the body-such as your hand
over your ear or nose. II not your
own hand then someone else's.
When circulation begins TO be re-
stored, which is known by the
tingling Of the part, gentle rub
bing is permissible. The object Of
treatment is to restore the circu-
lation gradually so as to prevent
CLOTHING in the blood vessels and
gangrene Of the skin.
