To Ease Itching of Midge-Bites
For midge and sand-fly bites use listerine and Eucalyptus—equal quantities—liquid carbonic soap—apply one drop on bite—or preparation sold by druggist.
Frost-Bite
To prevent frost-bite, rub the body when exposed to cold with too little clothing on, because rubbing brings blood to the surface. When the part that was cold suddenly has no feeling, then to restore warmth rub it first with snow or cold water, then gradually with warm water; if hot water is applied at first it may cause mortification in the frozen part.
Runaway Horses
Don't try to check a run-away horse by standing in front and waving your arms. The horse only dodges you and runs faster.
Electric Shock
Artificial Respiration should always be promptly given in cases of electric shock.
The rescuer must not touch the body of a person touching a live wire or a third rail unless his own body is thoroughly insulated.
He must act quickly. He should, if possible, insulate himself by covering his hands with a rubber coat, rubber sheeting or even several thicknesses of dry cloth. Silk is a good non-conductor. In addition he should complete his insulation by standing on a dry board, or a thick piece of dry paper or on a dry coat.
