small imount of blood smeared over a shirt or dress gave! an im­ pression of severe injury^ but such might not be the case. ! He; asked them to remember that [ blood donors at hospitals sacrificed one pint of their blood at a time with­ out feeling any ill effects. [ ; |


To stop bleeding It was neqessary


to pres > on the bleeding [ppint with fingers or hands, and as soon I as possible to apply a clean thick pad of folded handkerchief, or towel. Pressuie should then be kept! up througii the pad which had been

therefore ease the shook, but; the ordmary clfizen could not do j this. What he could do ,howe'ver, ,and‘'It was most important, wa!s 'to [keep the patient warm. People - had died from shock and often their

'Oil |of any description should not 'be applied, but the best thing to use.! if [available, was a substance


such as one of the xannic acid jellies, which could be obtained in tubk at any chemists. A good substitute was a series of layers of, dressing moistened wijth cold tea. If [this was not handy, then-the burn should be covered with dry clean ' dressings several layers thitk. ■ This was not done, as many people supposed, to kpep out air, but to prevent loss of heat from the body. The skin of the human body acted like a radia,tor, with the top layer possessing ,; the same qualities as cork, and If this were

vised those caught In the open by a bombing raid, with! no time to reach ; shelter, to hufl themselves to I the ground, face djwnwards. or to crawl Into any convenient naltural hollow. I t i{vas advisable


to put the palms of the hands over the ears to prevent i;he eardrums frqm [ splitting. Thfe lips 'should be' kept together, but the, teeth about* quarter of aif inch apart. Tlie snialler a persort became and trie less target he presented.


Everyone should havfe some know­ ledge! of what to do Inl air raids and how I to treat the Ihjured, for if pfeoplfe knew what to do they gener­ ally did it.
