HOW TO TREAT FRACTURES, SPRAINS AND DISLOCATIONS

Several years ago I stood beside a cot in a hunter's cabin in the heart of the Bitter Root Mountains in Idaho, after a three days' ride, and watched a valuable young life go out as the result of an unattended compound fracture of the thigh. At another time I amputated a leg to prevent the spread of gangrene from a simple cut across the instep while the camper was splitting wood, an accident which, properly treated, would have resulted at most only in a slight inconvenience. Once again, I transformed my boat into a funeral barge and conveyed a young man who had only been in the water three minutes back to his sorrowing parents dead, because his companions were ignorant of how to resuscitate him.

These and many other instances that have come under my observation of the sacrifice of lives from trivial causes, owing to a lack of knowledge, have impressed me with the value of a few suggestions on how to treat the commoner injuries and diseases that may befall those who seek recreation in the remote wilds.
