Fires from Kerosene, Gasoline, Benzine
Prevention.—1. Do not light a fire with kerosene.
2. Do not clean gloves or clothing with gasoline or benzine in a room with a lamp or gas jet lighted.
3. Do not try to dry clothing that has been cleaned with gasoline or benzine near a hot stove or lighted gas jet.
Extinction.—Do not use water to put out a fire of kerosene, benzine, or gasoline, as that only scatters the flames. Smother with blankets, rugs, sand, ashes, salt, or anything which is at hand and can be used; remember that woolen will not catch fire as easily as cotton.
COMMON POISON AND ANTIDOTES
Poisoning—Cases of poisoning happen most often because people do not examine the bottles before taking medicines from them.
Prevention—Disinfectants, liniments and medicines in bottles and boxes should be correctly and plainly labelled.
Bottles containing a poisonous substance should be rough outside, or with notched corks or marked with something beside the label stating that their contents are poison.
Treatment—1. Send for the doctor at once, telling him what kind of poison you think the patient has taken in order that he may bring the right antidote and the right implements to give the quickest and most effective relief.
