Excerpt from First Aid in Illness and Injury: Comprised in a Series of Chapters on the Human Machine, Its Structure, Its Implements of Repair, and the Accidents and Emergencies to Which It Is Liable
The importance of a general knowledge of the steps to be taken immediately in order to prevent serious consequences from accident or injury is now everywhere recognized. In the preparation of this contribution to the literature of the subject, three objects have been kept in view: I. To strip the snbject as far as possible of technicality. 2. To avoid dwelling upon procedures requiring medical experience for their application. 3. To make a distinction between essential points and details, which, while valuable, might be omitted without damage - accomplishing this by stating the impor tant facts=in large and the accessory points in small type.
While it has been the author's aim to produce a text - book for. Civilian and military first-aid Classes, he has also sought to provide a manual for quick reference in the emergencies, which arise not only before the soldier on detached service, the explorer or hunter in sparsely peopled districts, and the dweller at a distance from medical service, but in the quiet household, the crowded factory, the overflowing streets, and everywhere that work is done and lives are lived; for wherever humanity exists, the means of learning how to stay the arrival of impending death and how to afford relief to the suffering cannot fail to be of advantage.
