In the former, the clothing must be lifted off most carefully, and flour or grease should be spread over the burn, to protect it from the cool air. In conclusion, dislocated bones must never be set, unless the patient...
...head that the blood may return to the brain. When you use water, do not mince matters at all, but let the patient have plenty of it, and that square in the face. In cases of convulsions, be careful to protect the patient from hurting himself. Something to prevent the teeth from coming together should always be put in the mouth...
