The bandages and compresses can be purchased at almost any drug store and should be of the compressed kind, as these take up such little space. These having been sterilized (made surgically clean) and properly protected after being put up in sealed packages are ready for instant use.

The illustrations showing the methods of treating fractures, applying bandages, etc., show the dressings applied to a figure in the nude. It is not intended by this to convey the impression that it is necessary to remove the clothing in all cases; in many instances it need not be removed at all. The purpose is to show more clearly than could be done on a draped figure the proper location of the parts of the dressings in their relationship to the landmarks of the body (bones, joints, etc.).

In many of the illustrations in which splints are shown, the bandages and padding have been purposely omitted in order to show more clearly the exact manner in which the splints should be applied.

TRANSPORTATION OF THE SICK AND INJURED.

After giving first-aid treatment, the next thing is to get the sick or injured person to a place where proper medical attention can be obtained. In the field the problem of transporting a patient is just as important as that of giving proper treatment on the ground, since no matter how skillfully the latter may have been carried out, all the good accomplished is likely to be undone or the patient's condition even made worse if he is not transported in the proper way.

When a patient has to be taken only a short distance and the case is not serious he may be assisted or carried by one or two persons, as the case may be, in the manner shown in figures 2, 3, and 4.

Persons suffering from serious illness or injury, however, should be moved only on stretchers whenever it is possible to obtain or make one.

A stretcher can be made by using two coats and a pair of poles. The sleeves of the coats are first turned inside out, the poles passed through the sleeves, and the coats buttoned up, the buttoned side being turned down.

A blanket and two poles will also serve for a stretcher or bags and sacks may be stretched over two poles.

Always test the strength of a stretcher by placing an uninjured person on it before attempting to carry an injured

one.

In carrying a stretcher the bearers should never keep in step, as to do so would jar the patient too much. A stretcher should never be carried upon the shoulders of the bearers.

Always carry a patient with the feet foremost, except when going up hill or where the injury is a fracture of the lower limb. In the latter case, when going down a steep hill carry
