On the following pages only a brief discussion of anatomy and physiology is presented, but after each general heading suggested topics are inserted for further study if desired. For a discussion of the treatment of contusions, wounds, fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, and burns and scalds, the reader is referred to the chapters on bandaging and dressings. This plan was thought best for the reason that it brings all the practical first-aid work together in order, thus serving as a more convenient guide for first-aid organizations in doing practice work. In the chapters on bandaging and dressings the different bandages and dressings and their application have been described in more detail than will be found in any first-aid textbook, a feature that the authors think desirable. The authors desire to express their appreciation. to Lauson Stone, of the Bureau of Mines, for his interest in the preparation of the photographs and illustrations, and to Dr. W. S. Rountree, surgeon of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Co., for his friendly counsel and criticism, and his corrections of the manuscript. M. W. GLASGOW, M. D. 7 |
