To add to your difficulties the chemist's shop is sure to be closed and you may be at a loss to know what to do. In most store cupboards there is plenty of baking powder. Dissolve a dessertSpoonful of this in a pint of warm water, soak a clean rag or handkerchief in the solution and apply it to the injured part. Boracic ointment is a much better,, application, spread with a knife on strips of lint/ ' The chief thing to remember is that a burn should be dressed as soon as possible. / 1
