FIRST AID FOR SIMPLE EMERGENCIES An essential requisite is a simple first-aid kit, containing the following: a good amount of sterile gauze, adhesive tape, scissors, talcum powder, iodine or preferably chlorazene tablets, soap and alcohol for cleansing wounds and operator's hands. The commonest emergencies are: 1. Burns.-These should be covered by sterile dressings. Avoid smearing with grease or dousing with strong antiseptics. 2. Blisters of the Feet.-Avoid if possible by using shoes that fit properly, especially about the heels, and stockings of wool, but not of a size to permit wrinkling. Regular bathing of the feet in cold water and frequent changing of stockings will help. Talcum powder can be carried to aid in keeping the feet dry. If a blister starts, it is better to get pressure off it by building a raised ring of strips of adhesive tape about it than to prick it. If a blister must be pricked, cleanse part thoroughly and use a flame-sterilized needle or knife blade, making opening at edge of blister and pressing out fluid with a sterile instrument. Apply a sterile dressing and with adhesive tape make a pad which will keep pressure off the affected part. 3. Cuts and Bruises.-The main object is to prevent infection and stop bleeding. Cleanse around cut before applying sterile dressing. As a rule, mountain stream water is suitable for washing wounds, but guard against contamination from soiled hands, clothing or container. Avoid dousing with too strong antiseptics. If bleeding is arterial as evidenced by bright red blood, that spurts rhythmically, stanch it by pressure near the wound on the side nearer the heart. If bleeding is venous, as evidenced by dark blood and steady flow, gently press on the side away from the heart to the wound. In any case, after a half hour or so, gradually release pressure and if bleeding has stopped, apply a sterile dressing and firm pressure
