Presdnce of Mind.

Professor Wilder gives these short rtdes tor aciion in case of accident: For dus. in the eyes, avoid rubbing dash water into them. Remove tin ders, etc., with the round poiut of a lead pencil. Remove insects from the ear by tepid water; never put a hard instrument into the ear. If an artery is cut compress above the wound; if a vein is out, compress below. If choked, get upon all fours and cough. For light burns dip the pari in cold water; if the skin is destioyed, cover with varnish, bmother a tire with carpets, etc.; water will often spread burning oil and increase the danger. Before passing through smoke take a full breath, and then stoop low, but it carbon is suspected, walk erect. Suck poison wound , unless your mouth is sore; enlarge the wound, or, better, cut out the part without delay, Hold the wounded part as long as can be borne to a hot coai, or end of a cigar. In case of poisoning excite vomiting by tickling the throat or by water or mustatd. For heid poisons give acids; in case opium poison give strong coffee and keep moving. If in water float on the back, with the nose and mouth projecting. For appoplexy raise the head and body; for fainting, lav the person flat.
