Cure
for
Burns.
Of
all
applications
for
a
burn,
there
are
none
equal
to
a
simple
covering
of
common
wheat
flour.
This
is
always
at
hand;
and
while
it
requires
no
skill
in
using,
it
produces
most
astonishing
effects.
The
moisture
produced
upon
the
surface
of
a
slight
or
deep
burn
is
at
once
absorbed
by
the
flour,
and
forms
a
paste
which
shuts
out
the
air.
As
long
as
the
fluid
matters
continue
flowing,
they
are
absorbed,
and
prevented
from
producing
irritation,
as
they
would
do
if
kept
from
passing
off
by
oily
or
resinous
applications,
while
the
greater
the
amount
of
those
absorbed
by
the
flour,
the
thicker
the
protective
covering.
Another
advantage
of
the
flour
covering
is,
that
next
to
the
surface
it
is
kept
moist
and
flexible.
It
can
also
be
readily
washed
off,
without
further
irritation
in
removing.
It
may
occasionally
be
washed
off
very
carefully,
when
the
crust
that
it
forms
has
become
dry,
and
a
new
covering
be
sprinkled
on.

Remedy
for
Burns
and
Scalds.
Take
chalk
and
linseed,
or
common
olive
oil,
and
mix
them
in
such
proportions
as
will
produce
a
compound
as
thick
as
thin
honey;
then
add
vinegar
so
as
to
reduce
it
to
the
thickness
of
treacle;
apply
with
a
soft
brush
or
feather,
and
renew
the
application
from
time
to
time.
Each
renewal
brings
fresh
relief,
and
a
most
grateful
coolness.
If
the
injury
is
severe,
especially
if
it
involve
the
chest,
give
ten
drops
of
laudanum
to
an
adult,
and
repeat
it
in
an
hour,
and
again
a
third
time.
To
a
child
of
ten
years
give,
in
like
manner,
only
three
drops,
but
beware
of
giving
any
to
an
infant.
This
plan
with
an
internal
stimulant,
according
to
age,
as
brandy,
or
salvolatile,
or
both,
should
be
at
once
adopted,
until
the
arrival
of
the
medical
attendant.
