Over-Zealous Amateurs
The A.C.E. Home Science Talks have been well worth taking down-especially to mothers in remote districts. The woman who knows what to do in an accident is invaluable. But the woman who has any doubt about the treatment should, if it is at all possible, get reliable medical advice, I know a small boy who fell and cut his leg in a hen yard. When it became inflamed his mother, thinking instantly of blood poisoning, applied fomentations hot enough to make the child hysterical. The result was not blood poisoning but an open burn that took a frighteningly long time to heal, even under a doctor’s treatment. He still has the scar.
