First Aid Tips
To Save Lives
You could be enjoying a
quiet conversation over a
sumptuous meal at your
favorite restaurant when
your spouse or friend
suddenly gasps for breath
and quickly turns pale and
then blue. What should you
do? There are some emer
gency first aid measures you
can learn that may help you
save his or her life.
The Department of the
Interior has anew pocket
sized reference guide for
treating medical emergen
cies from strains and sprains
to shock, choking or heart
attack. Immediate first aid

News from

Pharmacist
Hoard
Tremendous progress has
been made in recent years in
the treatment of mental
patients and in the rate of
successful rehabilitation.
Psychologists, psychiatrists,
sociologists, the National
Association for Mental
Health, and others have
devoted much effort to
finding solutions to the
problems of mental illness.
It has taken a great deal of
effort to educate the Ameri
can public to the fact that
mental illness is just another
disease—not something the
patient and his family should
be ashamed of. Mental
patients are returning every
day to resume normal,
healthy lives as the result of
modern techniques of treat
ment.
Your doctor knows best. He
knows exactly what to
prescribe for you and our job
is to be certain that you get
the medicine that he pre
scribes. Our professional
pharmacists stand ready to
serve your needs from our
complete stock of drugs.

person who is injured or
suddenly ill. For your copy of

ter, Dept. 120 E, Pueblo,

If the victim is not
breathing or gasps for
breath, something could be
stuck in his or her throat. Try
to remove the piece of food or
other object from the throat
by opening the victim’s
mouth and grasping the
object with your index and
middle fingers. If this doesn’t
work, place the victim’s head
lower than the body and slap
him or her on the back. If
these methods don’t work,
stand behind the person who
is choking and wrap your
arms around the body, just
above the navel and below
the ribcage. Lean the victim
forward at the waist and let
the head and arms hang
down. Put one hand on your
own wrist; make a fist with
the other hand; and squeeze
suddenly and firmly against
the victim’s abdomen. This
will force air out of the lungs,
and the air will push the
object out of the throat.
Other medical emergen
cies covered by the reference
guide include:
-Heart Attack - A person
suffering a heart attack may
need artificial respiration.
Mouth-to-mouth is the most
effective, and is described in
some detail in the First Aid
reference guide. Cardiopul
monary resuscitation,
another procedure described
in the guide, is used when the
heart stops beating com
pletely.
-Severe Bleeding - To stop
severe bleeding, cover the
wound with the cleanest cloth
immediately available, and
apply direct pressure on the
wound. If the wound is in the
arm or leg, and they do not
seem to be broken, raise the
arm or leg as you apply
pressure.
-Burns - For burns,
whether they are caused by a
hot stove or hot coffee, apply
cool water immediately.
-Shock - Shock can ac
company any serious injury;
and shock alone can kill. If
you’re not sure what the
cause is, keep the victim flat.
Elevate the feet, unless this
would aggravate the injury.
Maintain the victim’s normal
body temperature. Place
blankets under and over the
victim. Give nothing by
mouth, especially stimulants
or alcoholic beverages. Al
ways treat shock in a serious
injury, and look for signs of
shock in minor injuries.

If so, you may be buying a
