This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 Excerpt: ...hand. When he can swallow, warm drinks may be given, and later on stimulants. If a part only of the body gets frostbitten, as the nose, it is known by its first becoming blue and congested, and afterwards yellowish and tallowy; sensation is lost in it, and the sufferer may not know what mischief is caused. Rub the part first with snow, and so on as above. Foreign Bodies in Nose and Ear.--Leave them alone.

If the substance sticks before reaching the stomach, try the effect of swallowing large draughts of water, &c. If it is too large to pass into the stomach, and cannot be reached with the finger, surgical aid must be sought. Injuries to the Head.--It is not the design of this work to go into the differences between concussion of the brain, haemorrhage, and fracture of the skull. Their treatment till aid arrives is identical. Remove the patient as quickly as possible to a cool, darkened room, keep him lying down, perfectly quiet, with the head somewhat raised, and apply cold rags to the head.
