Show of Accident Census artery should be stopped by applying pressure of the thumb, a compress or cloth pad over the artery at a point between the bleeding wound and the heart. In bleeding from a vein (steady flow), pressure should be applied on the side away from the heart. Where bleeding is not severe, a compress over the open wound should be sufficient. If bleeding is very severe, tourniquet may be made by tieing handkerchief, cloth, belt, strap or neck-tie around the part over compress and using small stick, pencil, or similar article with which to twist and _ tighten. Do not twist too hard, just enough to stop bleeding. Loosen every twenty minutes to let a little blood escape. Keep the part elevated. SHOCK—Lay patient flat on back with head low, unless head is bleeding. Remove false teeth, gum or tobacco from mouth. Keep,patient warm. Give stimulants such as aromatic spirits of ammonia in water, hot coffee, tea or water. Do not give stimulant to unconscious patients, or one who may have internal bleeding.

Apply ligature or bandage above wound to prevent spread of poison. With tip of knife or razor blade, sterilized by passing through flame, if possible, cut into wound, a depth of % to % inch over each fang mark, and let poison out. Apply suction, or if no other means available, suck the wound out by mouth, provided there are no open sores or wounds in mouth, and remove as much poison as possible from it. Be careful not to swallow. Continue suction for about a half hour. Cauterize with nitric acid, chloride of zine or nitrate of silver, or by applying white hot iron. Give patient stimulants and rush to doctor at once. BURNS AND SCALDS—Skin unbroken. A paste of baking soda in water; cod-liver, olive, or castor oil; or vaseline. Cover with sterile gauze.

Apply cold water to head. ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION — Prone Method Some injuries such as electric shock, drowning, gas poisoning and choking interfere with breathing and may cause asphyxiation, unless normal breathing is promptly restored. Artificial respiration should be restored to bring this about, but remember, SEND FOR A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. Lay the patient prone, (face down), the head *‘downhill’’, if possible, with one arm extended directly overhead, and the other arm bent at the elbow to form a resting place for head, so that nose and mouth are free for breathing. Kneel, straddling the patient’s thighs, with palms of the hands on the small of the back, and fingers resting on the ribs, the little finger just touching the lowest rib, and the fingers extended straight down. With arms held straight, swing forward slowly, bringing the weight of the body gradually upon the patient, so that the shoulder in this position is directly over the heel of the hand at the end of the forward swing. Do not bend elbows. Then immediately swing backward, so as to remove the pressure completely. After two seconds, repeat the pressure and release, the complete swing forward and backward to take four or five seconds, or 12 to 15 times a minute. Continue without interruption until the patient breathes naturally. Patients have been revived after as long as four hours or more by this method. Keep up the artificial respiration and do not allow patient, even if he starts to breathe naturally, to stand or sit up. Keep patient warm and if doctor has not arrived by the time patient has revived, give light stimulants, 1 teaspoon of aromatic spirits of ammonia in a small glass of water, or hot drink of coffee or tea. Watch patient to see that normal breathing continues, and if natural breathing stops, begin artificial respiration again.
