THE MARY FRANCES FIRST AID BOOK
Mary Frances Puts Her First Aid Knowledge into Practice
THE MARY FRANCES FIRST AID BOOK
WITH READY REFERENCE LIST OF ORDINARY ACCIDENTS AND ILLNESSES, AND APPROVED HOME REMEDIES By JANE EAYRE FRYER Member American Red Cross Society, Member New Jersey Women’s Division National Preparedness Association, Author of “The Mary Frances Story-Instruction Books.” ILLUSTRATIONS BY JANE ALLEN BOYER
This book is for every boy and girl who hopes to render first-aid to the sick or injured—in time of peace—in time of war—at all times in the service of
OUR COUNTRY
This book is more than a story to inspire children with a desire to relieve suffering; it is a simplified and handy reference book, telling what to do in cases of accident or illness. In no sense is it intended to take the place of the physician. The first principle of first-aid cannot too often be repeated— when in doubt, send for the doctor .
