Accidents.
Always
send
for
a
surgeon
immediately
an
accident
occurs,
but
treat
as
directed
until
he
arrives.

1317.
In
both
Scalds
and
Burns.
In
both
scalds
and
burns,
the
following
facts
cannot
be
too
firmly
impressed
on
the
mind
of
the
reader,
that
in
either
of
these
accidents
the
first,
best,
and
often
the
only
remedies
required,
are
sheets
of
wadding,
fine
wool,
or
carded
cotton,
and
in
default
of
these,
violet
powder,
flour,
magnesia,
or
chalk.
The
object
for
which
these
several
articles
are
employed
is
the
same
in
each
instance;
namely,
to
exclude
the
air
from
the
injured
part;
for
if
the
air
can
be
effectually
shut
out
from
the
raw
surface,
and
care
is
taken
not
to
expose
the
tender
part
till
the
new
cuticle
is
formed,
the
cure
may
be
safely
left
to
nature.
The
moment
a
person
is
called
to
a
case
of
scald
or
burn,
he
should
cover
the
part
with
a
sheet,
or
a
portion
of
a
sheet,
of
wadding,
taking
care
not
to
break
any
blister
that
may
have
formed,
or
stay
to
remove
any
burnt
clothes
that
may
adhere
to
the
surface,
but
as
quickly
as
possible
envelope
every
part
of
the
injury
from
all
access
of
the
air,
laying
one
or
two
more
pieces
of
wadding
on
the
first,
so
as
effectually
to
guard
the
burn
or
scald
from
the
irritation
of
the
atmosphere;
and
if
the
article
used
is
wool
or
cotton,
the
same
precaution,
of
adding
more
material
where
the
surface
is
thinly
covered,
must
be
adopted;
a
light
bandage
finally
securing
all
in
their
places.
