Scalds and Burns

The first object is to over the injured part with some suitable material, and this should be kept on until the cure is complete. Apply to the burn or scald a mixture of lime water and linseed oil by saturating the lint with the mixture. Do not remove when dry, but saturate by the application of fresh outer layers from time to time. If nothing better is at hand apply grated potato, flour, starch, &c.
