CHAPTER II
CARING FOR BURNS, CUTS, DROWNING, AND MINOR ACCIDENTS
N speaking of fractures and dislocations I did not dream it necessary to suggest anything in the way of a, surgical kit.
‘Lhe element of instruments other than band- ages does not enter largely into the treat- ment of this class of injuries, and the band- ages may be improvised from materials at hand.
In the treatment of such wounds as we shall now take up, however, it will be neces- sary to carry a few things with which to work. This outfit will be limited in its scope, economy of space being imperative. A con- venient instrument roll may be made from a strip of canvas, with a pocket at the bottom and loops for holding instruments. This can be rolled into compact shape when filled and tied with tape.
