FIRST AIDS [Illustration] For a rusty nail accident pour turpentine at once on the afflicted parts. For burns put on scraped raw potato instantly and change as often as it gets warm, until the pain is relieved. Olive oil will remove gum from a child's hair as if by magic. When a child puts a bean in his nose, don't try to dig it out. Put a little cayenne pepper upon his upper lip and he will sneeze it out. To extract splinters, fill a wide-mouthed bottle almost to the top with very hot water and place the injured part over the mouth of the bottle and press lightly. Suction will draw the flesh down and steam will extract the splinter. TABLE OF MEASURES (dry and liquid) 4 salt spoons 1 teaspoonful 3 teaspoonfuls 1 tablespoonful 16 tablespoonfuls 1 cup 2 cups 1 pint |
