RAILWAY ACCIDENTS
FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS. In pursuance of the safety-first campaign launched recently by the railway authorities, employees of the service have been issued a handy booklet dealing with the preliminary treatment of accidents likely to occur during the course of their employment. Full directions, expressed in simple language, are given for the application of first aid, pending the arrival of medical assistance, which, the booklet informs employees, should be immediately summoned. Among the injuries and consequences dealt with are wounds, haemorrhage (and its arrest), fractures, dislocations and sprains, burns and scalds, unconsciousness, shock, concussion, apoplexy, epilepsy, electric shock, poisoning, and suffocation. A special chapter is devoted to the methods advised for the restoration of tlie apparently drowned.
