is good tea fine brisk flavor best of all in the orange pekoe quauty tjs health education by dr j j middleton provincial board of health ontario mlddloton wul be la4 to answer question on public health fr ter through this column- address bta at spadlna house p crescent toronto altb ut spa4lm 1 people living in country districts r perhaps far removed from a doctor are often confronted with cases of accident or sudden illness at times like this it is very hard to know just what to do on the spur of the moment most people get nervous and excited thereby adding to the goneral confu sion without giving much practical help if there is any use in saying so i would strongly advise the person who is on the spot as a helper to keep cool try and control yourself and deal with the circumstances in a commonsense way for instance if a person gets hurt and is bleeding the bleeding must be checked the best way to do this is to get a hard pad and press it firmly against the bleeding spot or else tie the pad on with your handkerchief a lot of alarm and anxiety is often caused in cases of convulsions when a fit comes on the sufferer will be ly ing down7 the best position for him but your commonsense will suggest something soft under his head and t you should use a little gentle restraint if necessary just sufficient to pre vent him from injuring himself in his struggles if the teeth are clench ed and the tongue bitten try and in sert a small stick with a piece of rag wrapped around it between the jaws cut and abrasions are perhaps the most common injury met with and to keep the wound clean is the important thing when the skin is broken it is particularly liable to be infected with septic germs which may cause blood- poisoning if you can only keep the wound clean nature will do the heal ing but nature cannot heal while her work is being interfered with by germs that cause inflammation and pus or what is known as an infection of course one can control infection by the useof antiseptic solutions but these may not be at hand so the very best thing to do is to keep the cut or abrasion clean and free from infec tion if possible you will ask what to do then first bathe thewound carefully and thoroughly with warm water to which- you may add some antiseptic solution such as boric acid better still wash the wound with warm water and soap do not touch the wound with a sponge or flannel but something reasonably clean such as a piece of new lint or clean cotton j wool if none of these are to be had a piece of clean linen such as a hand kerchief will do very well then dry the wound and paint on some tincture of iodine if it is available the iodine may smart but only for a few mo ments and you should now protect the wound by- a pad of boric lint or clean linen a bandage applied snug ly but not too tight will stop any further bleeding and at the same time keep the dressing in place if the wound does not throb or feel uncom fortable the dressing need not be changed for fortyeight hours or so severe haemorrhage is a condition that requires immediate treatment but what you can do is only of a temporary nature still you can often save life by checking or control ling the bleeding until the doctor arrives keep the patient lying down quietly andnotice whether the blood comes out in spurts or in a steady flow apply a pressure pad or even hold the bleeding point tightly with your finger until you get assistance when the pressure pad is applied bandage firmly at once elcvato the injured limb as high as possible should the blood still continue to come in spurts it is evident hstan artery has been cut or torn and you will then have to try and compress the main artery by pressure against the bone with your fingers or better still apply a tourniquet this is eas ily done by tying a handkerchief around the limb always above the wound over a piece of stick or simi lar article then twist the stick till the hankkerchief is as tight as can be borne and hold or tie the stick in position in bleeding from the nose place the patient on his back with the head and shoulders raised on pillows or any thing handy raise the arms above the head as high as possible and pinch the nostrils tightly with the finger and thumb this will often stop the flow should it not wrap some broken ice in a handkerchief and apply to the nose and to the nape of the neck a thick slice of lemon bitten and sucked sometimes acts like a charm of course the doctor should be sent for without delay if the bleeding is per sistent should you find a person lying un conscious do not try to make him sit up just let him lie and if he can swallow give a few sips of brandy in cases of sudden illness where a doctor cannot be got at once a little common sense will often work won ders in the first place get the pa tient to bed at once if the attack is severe and dont forget to loosen any clothing that may be tight fainting will usually yield quickly to lying down and sipping a stimulant cold water is an excellent stimulant if just sipped but do not give fluid un less your patient can swallow other wise it may find its way into the lungs if he is cold or shivering apply hot water bottles to the body and the feet but be sure to wrap the bottles in something woollen to avoid blistering vomiting may be relieved by suck ing ice also by applying a mustard plaster to the upper part of the ab domen i when there are broken bones to deal with efforts must be made to prevent any movement of the two jag ged ends at the point of fracture movement causes pain so bind the limb above and below the fracture to a splint which can be made out of a piece of stick or even an umbrella these bits of advice are intended to be useful in emergency but do not neglect to secure the services of a phy sician at the earliest possible moment as the fractured bones may need to be set in position before a permanent splint is applied sea fever i must go down

trying to keep up with his running expenses ithink music a precious asset how much even a little musical ac complishment means to young men was effectively demonstrated during the war says a writer in canadian home journal the boys in a regi ment who were definitely sure of popu larity were those who could play some instrument or other or sing a song it was found that a great many had the gift of- playing the piano by ear but the lad who could really play un familiar compositions and could vary the usual fare by something high- class once in a while was honored nor did tho soldiers always insist on something lively i have heard of one young canadian officer awarded the vc posthumously for buberb bravery during the great advance of the summer of 1918 who had a most remarkable gift for playing on that haunting instrument the ukulele he had it was afterwards known a real conviction that ho was never to see canada again and the soft melan choly strains he used to evoke from his instrument were an expression of his premonition he undoubtedly gave solace to himself and much plea sure to his comrades by his music sad though it was in the trenches there was no scoff ing at music
