Treatement of Acid and Alkali === Burns and General Burns First Aid Lecture by Majoi' Debney, of the St. John Amâ€" bulance Brigade, Given at Iroquois Falls Recently to The first aid lecture on Weanesâ€" day, Dec. 7, dealt with a number of points which were interesting not only in the mill but in the home. Major Debney took up first the effect of bad food, or, in the other words, poisoning. The symptoms were nausea, reaching or vomiting, the reaching sometimes being so violent as to the cause of the rupture of *# .4 *4 #* # $ #4 #4 *# *4 # L #4 # # #4 # 4 *4# * t #4 # € #4 # + #4 + + #* #@ Li #*4 # #4 *# 4 ## * + *4 *# 4 #4 *# t *4 *# # #4 *4 # t *4 *4# «* #4 #%.% #* # # #* # ##4 ®@ # #4 # © *4 # # *4 h #*4, *# 6 000000000000000000000000000000000'0000000000000000!1 0000000.

Frequently in a house it was posâ€" sible to use another emetic, either one table spoonful of ginger in a cup of luke warm water or two tablespoonâ€" fuls of salt in a cup of luke warm waâ€" ter. As the salt left the stomach cold and ginger left it warm, the ginâ€" ger was preferable, as long as to much delay would not be caused. Removing Clothing Major Debney told the class that when it was necessary to remove clothing, it should be done very careâ€" fully. To rip up a coat or trousers with a sceissors would destroy the clothing and frequently the man could not possibly afford such loss. The thing to do was to rip up the seam, which could be done just as easily and quickly with just as good an effort. Then the clothing could be reâ€"sewn at a very small cost. In some cases, however, it was necessary to remove the clothing entirely, such as a coat in which case always take off the clothing from the unâ€"injured side first and then the clothes could be easily slipped off the injured part, without causing the patient unnecesâ€" sary pain. Foreign Bodies in Flesh Major Debney gave an instance of the week previous where a piece of steel an inch long entered a man‘s leg. He found a man digging for it with a jack knife which had been used fFox all sorts of purposes, and therefore was an extremely dangerous thing to use. The steel had gone far into the leg and he could not even find it with a probe. He disinfected the cut as well as he could. considering that a a probe. He disinfected the « well as he could, considering 4 dirty knife had been used on it THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO He asked the class what should next be done. He explained that when a foreign body got into the muscles, movement of the museles would cause it to move, which might do damage to veins or arteries and also cause it to move up or down the leg making it much more difficult to locate. The only thing to do was to bandage up the leg as in the case of a fracture, so that there would be no movement of the leg, and have the patient sent to a hospital, immediately, where the doctors had all the appliances necesâ€" sary to remove the foreign body and properly disinfect the wound. He pointed out again strongly, that the use of a dirty knife blade was exâ€" tremely dangerous as it was almost certain to set up infection. In all cases of foreign bodies in any part of the body the proper thing to do was to bandage up the part so that there would be no movement of the muscles and get the man to a doctor immediâ€" ately. Special Burns There were two common burns in industrial plants, being an acid or alkali, the most common alkali being lime. The way to treat these was to neutralize them by applying the opâ€" posite, in other words putting an al; kali on an acid burn and acid on an atâ€" kali burn, weak enough of course, not to cause further trouble. On amacid burns use lime water, which is alkaline and would neutralâ€" ize the action of the acid. Lime waâ€" ter could be easily made by putting a piece of lime into a jax and shaking it until the water had absorbed as much of the lime as possible. Then strain through a cloth or filter. This, put on an burn, would stop the action of the acid and give the patient relief. In the case of the burn being by a alkali, such as lime, the easiest aid to use was vinegar mixed with water, half and half, which would stop the action of the burn and give xeliet. Clothing on Fire Frequently in the home or in a factory a burst of flames from stoves or other places set clothing on fire. Nearly always the person on fire zuns for outdoors. _ The running through the air fans the flames and makes it a great deal worse. The thing to do was to grab the person and throw him down with the burning part of the clothing on top, not below. If the burning part were below the burnâ€" ing part would soon extend all around the body. us _ td For bandages an old bag or shirt or anything long enough to go around the part injured would be qmte satisâ€" factory. _â€"The first aider should always reâ€" member that he was giving first aid only and not attempting to give the wounded man medical attention. He should use anything which would save time in giving the man comfort and get him to the hospital or to the doeâ€" tor as quickly as possible. Frost Bites In the case of frost bites, the first treatment was to thaw the frost as doctor was ild be done ent into the quick thawing. Rubbing the ear gentâ€" ly with the hand was just as good and wasn‘t as cold on the fingers, but this should be done outside or in a eool room. Major Debney said that while it wasn‘t found in the medical books, in the north where frost bites were common, a large number of people usâ€" ed coal oil with great suceess. The method was to dampen a cloth slightâ€" ly, putting a few drops of coal oil on it and hold this to the affected part. In the case of an ear it was wise to bend the head over so the oil would not run into the ear. Where frost bites were bad the patient should imâ€" mediately have medical attention. (From The Broke Hustler) POLIGE 00 GODD WORK iN TRAGIG TICHETS Recover All But Two of Tickets Takâ€" en from G. H. Gauthier‘s Office Together With Other Goods Friday evening last some boys broke into Mr. Gordon H. Gauthier‘s oflice in the Reed block and took away several articles, including some boxes of cigars, some boxes of candies, a number of office peneils, and around thirty tickets for the Dumbells show this weekâ€"end. The tickets were the most serious loss, running over $60.00 in value. Miss MeNabhb, who is seereâ€" tary of the 1.0.D.E., under whose auspices the show is being held here, had had the tickets in her desk to be given out or sold as neéeded. As soon as the loss was discovered the police took up the matter. â€" They were workâ€" ing on some clues but had nothing very definite until Monday when a lad attempted to sell some tickets for the Dumbells show at a residence on Fourth avenue. _ He offered the ticket for fifty cents, and the lady of the house ealled up her husband, who happened to be the chief of police, s y n happened to be the chief of police, Mr. L. MeLachlan. While Mrs. Meâ€" Lachlan kept the boy occupied waitâ€" ing for her to make change, the chief slipped down to the house and quesâ€" tioned the boy. He said that another boy had given him the tickets to sell, this other lad saying that he had reâ€" ceived them from the theatre. _ Of course, the theatre had not given out any tickets for sale, the tieckets being the ones sold only by the 1.0.D.E. and exchangeable for the regular theatre tickets. There were several boys iniâ€" plicated in the matter before the chief was through with his investigation. Search of some of the houses where the lads lived brought to light empty cigar and candy boxes similar to those stolen, and in addition some of the boys admitted their part in the affair Also, in one house there were quit a number of blotters similar to thos stolen at the time Mr. C. W. Pexton‘ office was robbed some time ago. Th boys concerned in the thetft will com up in Juvenile Court this week. TA public was also warned against purâ€" chasing any of the tickets from anyâ€" one but a member of the 1.0.D.B. or notice to this effect was put on the secreen at the theatre each evening. However, the tickets being improperly out it looked as if there might he conâ€" fusion resulting, so there was general satisfaction felt by all concerned when the police were able to recover practiâ€" cally all of the tickets.
