LEXINGTON WOMEN LEARN FIRST AID SERVICE, j I Members cf Preparedness Club Re. ceive Instructions From Dr. J. Homer Mathias. News and Courier, 2nd. Lexington, June ?The feature of yesterday's meeting of the Ladies' Preparedness Club of Lexington was the masterly address of Dr. J. H. Mathias, who, at the invitation of the Club, has agreed to give the women a series of lessons in first-aid work, to the end that the Club may be in position to lend its aid in relieving suffering soldiers on the battlefield, in the event the services of its members are needed. Dr. Mathias, himself an enthusiastic benefactor in the cause of the Red Cross and other associations having* for their chief aim and purpose giving: relief to the injured ! and dying, gave the members of the | Preparedness Club most instruc- J tive advice, touching upon the following subjects, pointing out in detail nine essentials of importance to the first-aider: "Be calm and don't be hurried; send for doctor, if within - ? ? JI?? ? A-.ll . 1 r\TVi ! mii'ieu ;a.Le , icinuvv; lj^hv , ing; put in "omfoitaVe position; Jo. not move patient if seriousjy injured; i ask for water; Rive stimulants; ex- j amine injurv before treating, and the | removal of clothing." Tells What First Aid Means. Dr. Mathias explained the meaning of "first aid" at the outset, lay-1 ing particular stress upon the fact that the doctor and nurse go hand in hand, and the success of one depends largely upon the efforts of the other. "V^e all Know, 01 course, said Dr. Mathias, "that a doctor, as he has given much study to the subject, is best qualified to take care of the ill and injured. On the ether hand, accidents and sudden illness often occur where the services of physicians cannot be immediately obtained; and in no instance is this more true than on the field of battle. The necessary delay may result very disastrously for the ill or injured. First aid to the injured must be learned, however, like every other subject and no one will know what to do for ill or injured unless he or she has studied it. But all that is necessary for good results is that the student" have common sense and devote the small amount of time required for acquiring the special knowledge and skill. Cheap Insurance. "Knowledge of first aid to the injured is a very valuable and very cheap form of insurance. Possibly we may never need this knowledge, but would the wise man or woman be willing to let any building go ...'xl. ..i. - ? ? - ? ? ^ ? ? ? ?. ? lb ? M A A it* ? 4 wicnouc insurance un me cnance mac it Would never burn?" asked the speaker. "How much more important, then, it is for us to insure our own selves against the results of accidents through knowledge of first aid to the injured," declared Dr. Mathias. Continuing, the lecturer said that "there is no clashing of interests between the doctor and the first aider. The duties of the former begin when the latter leave off. Knowledge of first aid enables trained persons to put patients into doctor's hands in the best possible condition for cure," he said. "Treatment, except of very j minor cases of injury or illness and j care of the injured and ill in an emergBL'.y till a doctor can he nrocu*H is lol Crst aid," sa:1 Dr. Mathias. Too Many Accidents. Dr. Mathias assorted, further, common and the attention of every student of the first aid is earnestly invited to the great benefits to be gained by studying how to prevent them as part of his or her course in first aid," said he. The speaker declared that prevention is better than cure in injury as well as in disease," and he urged the members of the Preparedness Club to study the practical side, as much as the theoretical -.ide. "The results of both," he said, "are mainly dependant upon the action of the individuals." Dr. Mathias stressed the fact "that every injury should suggest how the acci" : . ... dent which caused it rmpht have oeen | prevented. Still more, if any fiirst' aider cares for a real injury, he or J she should think over the cause for it carefully and so far as within their | power take steps to prevent a simi- 1 lar accident in the future," he con i eluded. ! !
