Address kkn at Spadini Howie, Spatine People living in country districts, perhaps far removed from a doctor, are often confronted with cases of accident or sudden illness. At tunes like this it is very hard to know just what to do on the spur of the moment. Most people get' nervous and excited, thereby adding to the general confu- sion without giving much practical help. If there is any use in saying so, I would strongly advise the person vho is on he spot as a helper to keep cool. Try and control yourself and deal with the ciretimstanceein. a common-sense way. For instance, if a person gets hurt and is bleeding, the bleeding must be checked. The best way to do this is to get a lard pad and press it firmly against the bleeding spot, or else tie the pad on with your handkerchief. A lot of alarm and anxiety is often caused in cases of convulsions. When a fit comes on, the sufferer will be ly- ing down, the best position for him, but your common-sense will suggest something soft under his head, and you should use a little gentle restraint if necessarY, just sufficient to pre- vent him from injuring hirnself in his struggles. If the teeth are clench- ed and the tongue bitten, 'try and in- sert a small stick with a piece of rag wrapped around it, between the jawe. Cut and abrasions are perhaps the most common injury met with, and to keep the wound clean is the important thing. 7 TxThen the skin is broken it is particularly liable to be infected with septic germs which may cause blood - poisoning. If you can only keep the wound clean, nature will do the heal- ing, but nature cannot heal while her work is being interfered with by germs that cause inflammation and pus, or what is known as an infection. Of course, one can control infection by the use of antiseptic solutions, but these may not be at hand, so the very • best thing to do is to keep the cut or abrasion clean and free from infec-. tion if possible. You will ask what to do then. First, bathe the wound carefully and thoroughly with warm water to which you may add some antiseptic solution such as boric acid. Better still, wash the wound with warm water and soar. Do not touch the wound with a sponge or flannel, but something reasonably clean, such as a piece of new lint or clean cotton wool. If none of these are to be had, a. piece of clean linen such as a hand- kerchief will do very well. Then dry the wound and paint on some tincture of iodine if it is available. The iodine may smart, but only for a few mo- ments, and you should now protect the wound by a pad of boric lint or clean linen. A barjdage applied snug- ly, but not too tight, willstop any further bleeding and a the same time keep the dressing in place. If the wound does not throb or feel uncom- fortable, the dressing need not be changed for forty-eight hours or so. Severe haemorrhage is a condition that requires immediate treatment, but what you can do is only of a temporary nature. Still, you can often save life by checking or control- ling the bleeding until the doctor arrives.' Keep the patient lying down quietly and notice whether the blood comes out in spurts or in a steady flow. Apply a pressure pad or even hold the bleeding point tightly with your finger until you got assistance. When the pressure pad is applied, bandage firmly at once. Elevate the injured limb as high -as possible. Should the blood still continue to come in spurts, it •is evidentethat tin artery has been cut Or torn and you will then have to try and compress the main artery by pressure against Lift Off No Pain! • - "I3ut, mother: -lack Says 11.0 love with bus whole beart." • "Tee --but you want someone who cnn 1o& you With hes whole bank - reit too," • • O Ibeean't 4,114 ollO hitt Drop a little, "Fretizonie" on an ii/thing Oita, in. ttantly that earn stopti hinting, then 'shortly you lift itright of with fingers, 'fent drUggiSt 'fields a. tiny bottle ot eFreazone" for a few cont, se:efficient to remove every lutrd orn, sett ,foorn,, or coin between the to, and the foot ealitiSOSWithout tiorOneSS 01i1 the bone with yOur Angerse orehetter still, 'apply a 'tourniquet.- ThisThi s etes Rey done. by .tying a- ,handkerchief around the limb (always above the wound), over a piece"of stick or simi- lar article. Then twist the stick till the hankkerciiief is as tight as can be borne and hold or tie the stick in position.

This will often stop. the Bow. Should it not, wrap some broken ice in a handkerchief and apply to the noseT and to the nape of the neck.

Of course the doctor should be sent for 'ai-s sittehntout delay if the bleeding is per- • Should you find a person lying un- conscious, do not try to make him sit up. Just let him lie, and if he can swallow, give a few sips of brandy. In cases of sudden illness where a doctor cannot be got at once, a little common sense will often work won- ders. In the first place get 'the pa- tient to bed at once if the attack is severe, and don't forget to loosen any clothing that may be tigl.t. Fainting will usually yield quickly to lying down and sipping a stimulant. Cold water is an excellent stimulant, if just sipped, but do not give fluid un- less your patient can swallow, other- wise it may find; its way into the lungs. If he is cold or shivering, apply hot water bottles to the body and the feet, but be sure to wrap the bottles in something woollen to avoid blistering. Vomiting may be relieved by suck- ing ice, also by applying a mustard plaster to the upper part of the ab- domen. When there are broken bones to deal with, efforts must be made to prevent any movement of the two jag- ged ends at the point of fracture. Movement causes pain, so bind the finale above and below the fracture to a splint which can be made out of a piece of stick, or even an umbrella. • These bits of advice are intended to be useful in emergency, butdo not neglect to secure the services of a phy- sician at the earliest possible momenti, as the fractured bones may need to be set in position before a permanent splint is applied. e CHILDROOD INDIGESTION Nothing is more eommon in child- hood than indigestion. Nothing is more dangerous to proper growth, more weak -ening to the constitution. or galore _likely to pave the way to dan- gerous disease. Fully nine -tenths of all the minor ills of childhood have their root in Indigestion. There is no medicine for little ones, to. equal Baby's Own Tablets in relieving this trouble. They have proved of benefit thousands of homes. Concerning them Mrs. Jos. Lunette, Immaculate Conception, Que., writes: "My baby was a great sufferer from indigestion, but the Tablets soon set her right, and now 1 would not be without thein." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Ilfockville, Ont. • • The VVarclers.

Then I tried a num- ber of tonics with no better results. At this stage my mother came to me, and as' she is a firm believer in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, she started me on this medicine. I can only say that they did wonders for me. I began to get new health and strength after I had taken a few boxes, and 'day by day this inaprovenient continued until I was again *ell and able to do all my housework, and I have not had a sick day since.

"The boys in a regi- ment who were definithly sure of popu- larity were those who could play some inatrument or other, or sing a song. It was found that a great many had the gift of playing the piano by ear; but the lad who could really play un- familiar compositions and could vary the usual fare by something ahigh- class' once in a while, was honored. "Nor did the soldiers always insist on something lively. I have heard of one young Canadian officer, awarded the V.C. Phsthumously 'for suberb bravery during the great advance of the summer of 1918, who had a most remarkable gift for playing on that haunting instrument, the ukulele.
