Show SAFETY BULLETINS I WANT YOU FOLK8 TO LISTEN LIS-TEN closely today, for I have here a valuable bulletin from the National Nation-al Safetv Council. It tells what to do for sunstroke. You can't tell when the information will come In mighty handy. Jot down the main points so that you can familiarize yourself with the treatment. "Send for the doctor at once, end then do everything possible to deduce de-duce the victim's temperature. Take him to a cool place and remove as much clothing as possible. Apply cold water or Ice to his face, neck, chest and arm-pits. Better still, put him in a very cold bath or wrap him In sheets wrung out In cold water. Then keep these sheets wet and cold with more water or ice. Rub bin body continually to prevent shock. "When consciousness returns he may be allowed to drink all the cold water he wants and cold appli- cations may be discontinued. But if the skin again becomes hot, the applications ap-plications must be renewed. Don't give any stimulants." FIRST AID KNOWLEDGE is B valuable thing. It often means the difference between life and death. Can you, or anyone, afford to be without such knowledge? |
