THE NETHERLANDS.

The Red Cross of the Netherlands has suffered a serious loss in the death of the President of its Central Committee, Baron de Hardenbrock de Bergambacht. For forty-one years he had been a member of the committee, and during all that time he devoted himself with all his heart to the interests of the Society. In 1870 he went as chief to the First Dutch Red Cross Ambulance in the Franco-Prussian War. He represented his Society at the International Conference of 1887 at Carlsruhe, 1892 at Rome, 1897 at Berne, 1902 at St. Petersburg and 1907 at London. In 1899 and 1901 he was very active in the preparation and forwarding of six fully equipped Dutch Red Cross Ambulances for the war in the Transvaal. His delight was to work without ostentation for the Red Cross in its humanitarian mission. He merits well a place in the annals of the Red Cross of the Netherlands as one of its most worthy and noble supporters.

Instantaneous

is the relief from the acute stinging pain of inflammations and eczematous eruptions about the mucocutaneous margins when Resinol Ointment is applied. And a permanent cure is effected by this remedy with greater facility in all skin affections where a local application is indicated than by any other method. As a dressing for Burns, Carbuncles, etc., there is nothing approaches it.

Resinol Soap is the great adjunct to the Ointment, and renders the necessary bathing of the parts an aid to the cure, where the ordinary application of water and other soaps usually increases the trouble.

A HEALTH RESORT

WASHINGTON SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST SANITARIUM. TAKOMA PARK, D. C.

The first Sanitarium established by Seventh-Day Adventists was at Battle Creek, in 1866. Since then institutions have been started in many places. At present nearly sixty exist in various parts of the world.

Washington is known as “The City Beautiful.” Much has been written of the many beautiful and historic spots around Washington, but one which is a revelation to all who visit it, is the new Washington Sanitarium, located at Takoma Park, on an elevation of 300 feet. The Washington Sanitarium has only been in operation a little over a year. It already has a splendid patronage; it is undoubtedly destined to become well known not only for its beauty and delightful surroundings, but as a health resort. During the fall and winter the climate is almost ideal; the summer climate is good—no mosquitoes or other pests are to be found.

A Branch Sanitarium is conducted at Nos. 1 and 2 Iowa Circle. The Branch Sanitarium has recently been overhauled, and extensive alterations have been made. The surroundings of this health-home are also attractive and restful. Both institutions are thoroughly scientific, and employ the most modern methods in the treatment of patients.

Massage, electricity in its various forms, baths of all descriptions, and special dieting are the agencies chiefly depended upon.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the business of the Company has steadily grown from year to year, and, while the shareholders have received a fair return on the capital invested, the directors have always borne in mind that their first duty was protection to the depositors, which they have accomplished by adding over four million dollars, making a guarantee fund to its clients, including shareholders’ liability, of EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS, a record shown by few banking corporations in the United States.

This statement does not include our Trust Department, the securities of which, under the law, are kept entirely separate and distinct from the assets of the Company, and our relations being of a confidential nature, no published statements are made. The growth has, however, been much greater then the above.

“AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS TEXT-BOOK
ON
First-Aid and Relief Columns”

By MAJOR CHARLES LYNCH
of the Medical Corps, United States Army

Being a Manual of Instruction for the Prevention of Accidents and What to do for Injuries and Emergencies

PREPARED FOR AND INDORSED BY THE
AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS

WITH A PREFACE BY

BRIGADIER-GENERAL R. M. O’REILLY
Surgeon-General, United States Army

Illustrated With 74 Engravings
Pocket Size, viii+244 Pages.

The Red Cross is in each country an organization recognized by the respective Governments for the purpose of rendering aid to the medical services or armies in time of war, and, furthermore, to mitigate the suffering caused by great calamities, and to devise and carry on means for preventing the same. It has, therefore, an important educational duty to perform.

For the purpose of further fulfilling this duty the American National Red Cross has issued the FIRST-AID AND RELIEF COLUMNS TEXT-BOOK for use in schools, colleges, Y. M. C. A’s., in the family, and for service in the training of nurses and Red Cross Relief Columns. Major Charles Lynch, of the Medical Corps of the United States Army, was especially requested by the Red Cross to prepare this text-book.

The author is a surgeon in the Army Medical Service, and has been especially detailed by the War Department to act as the medium between that Department and the National Red Cross. His duties are to study and suggest in what way the services of the Society can be made the most available. Major Lynch was the United States Medical Attachè to the Japanese Army during the Russian-Japanese War, and while there had special opportunities for observing the improvised materials used by them in case of need, and their manner of rendering first aid, which proved of such value in the preserving of life during that war. He has been engaged in organizing First-Aid and Relief Columns, lecturing before various branches of the Y. M. C. A., and otherwise devoting much time to this special subject. He has, therefore, a large experience of the necessities and practical value of such work and of the wants of those seeking instruction.

Beginning with the Anatomy and Physiology, the book succinctly deals with Germs or Micro-organisms, First-aid Materials, General Directions for Rendering First-aid, Shock, Common Accidents and Injuries, Common Emergencies, Occupation Accidents and Injuries, Injuries and Emergencies of Indoor and Outdoor Sports, Transportation of Wounded and Sick, Organizations for First-aid Instruction, First-aid Contests, closing with a list of References and a very complete Index.

The preface by Surgeon-General O’Reilly gives not only due recognition to the practical worth of the book, but points out the vast good which may be done by proper organizations and knowledge in times of great calamities. He emphasizes the fact that, so far as he knows, it is the first effort to teach the prevention of accidents.
