Fades the light; Love, good night.
And afar When the day
Goeth day, Must thou go
Cometh night; And the night
And a star Day is done
Leadeth all, Leave me so?
Speedeth all Fare thee well;
To their rest. Night is on.
ANOTHER VERSION.
When your last
Day is past,
From afar
Some bright star
O'er your grave
Watch will keep,
While you sleep
With the brave.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF ACCIDENTS
The following hints are only intended as a reminder to assist you when in doubt.
TO STOP BLEEDING.—Place a pad of clean cloth on the wound and bandage firmly. Raise the part affected. If raising the limbs or applying the pad does not control the bleeding, compress with your two thumbs over bone and as near the wound as possible. Give no stimulants as long as bleeding remains uncontrolled.
BURNS AND SCALDS.—Exclude the part from the air at once, by dusting flour on it and covering with cotton wool. If there is a blister do NOT pick it for 24 hours.
Soothing applications are Carron Oil, Salad Oil, Vaseline, Lard, etc. If there is severe shock, give it immediate attention, even before attending to the burn or scald.
FRACTURES.—The two main classes of fractures are simple and compound and the first aid treatment you give is to prevent the simple fracture from becoming the more serious compound fracture, which has a wound caused by the jagged end of the broken bone.
