ABOUT FIRST AID
Minor injuries—cuts, scrapes, burns, or bruises —may become infected if neglected. Germs lurk in the air. in everything we touch —ready to attack an unprotected wound. These small injuries may be easily protected by the exercise of just a little care. Smear a little vaseline lightly over the affected part after washing with an antiseptic, and then lightly bandage. Under the thin film of vaseline, which cannot be penetrated by air or moisture, the skin heals safely and cleanly.
To emphasise the great advance made in infant welfare, Mrs. Neville Chamberlain reminded a London gathering of those interested in the subject, that Queen Anne had had 17 children, all but one of whom had died in infancy. And even that sole survivor perished when he reached the age of 12. Such infant mortality, added Mrs. Chamberlain, is now impossible owing to the complete nature of the maternity and child-welfare seyI vices.
