TREATMENT OF BURNS.
Since it often happens that you burn yourself while cooking and
baking, I shall give some methods of treating the wounds.
There are various kinds of burns:
1. When the surface is burned and a burning pain sets in, make cold
water applications or compresses of raw grated potatoes or lime water.
2. When the burn causes swelling and blisters, put on cotton batting
dipped in olive oil or the following mixture: equal parts of lime
water and linseed oil and a little thymol. Shake it well before using.
3. When the heat has destroyed the lower skin and the epidermis rises
in large blisters filled with a dark, bloody fluid. When the patient
has fever and nervous symptoms.
4. When the skin is completely destroyed and black, and the patient
has fever.
As a remedy for the last two cases use a mixture of carbolic acid and
water and apply it with cotton batting. For healing use white
vaseline, 20 grams; provence oil, 10 grams; glycerine, 50 grams; mix
well and spread on the wounds.
MEAT CARVING.
In order to carve meat properly it is necessary to know something
about the anatomy of meat, muscles, tendons and the skeleton.
The simplest carving is on meat without bones, as beef steak and roast
meat. Hold the meat with a large fork and cut across the grain or
fiber in not too thin slices. The knife must be held a little on the
slant.
Fricandeau of veal or fillet both have all the fibers running in the
same direction, so find out how they run and cut against the grain or
across the fiber.
