ANSWER: Every line of your long letter breathed such desperation that I sincerely hope some of the advice I pass on may be helpful. Your outline of household tasks. such as changing curtains every two or three weeks, certainly in- dicates every effort on your part to keep it good household, so I'm sure there can be no serious fault -to be found with your housekeep- ing. The one, vital fact for you to bear in mind is this: there are some ople who wouldn't be pleased. or satisfied, no matter how much one tries. A home could be perfect except for one tiny detail, -but that's what they'd see, andl that what they'd comment on out

side. The people you must aim to please are your husband, your

youngsters. and yourself. As far as your personal life is concerned, stick to those essentials and let the rest. go hang. Do your best. and if that isn't good enough for others, stop trying. Follow this bit of advice and you'll be completely astonished at the difference in your outlook. The complaints don't seem to bother your husband; if you didn't bring them to his attention, he would ignore them completely.

Another point on which you need a change Ls that you pay too much attention to what some persons tell you "other people say." In other

"Simple cleansing of the burned place with bland soap and Water and the application of an antisep- tic dressing are the only r841UH”6' merits for most small burns. Once

For treatment of large burns, the best immediate care is to cover the injured part and quickly drive the patient to a place where ade- quate treatment is possible. Here the burned area is cleansed and all visible foreign material removed.

It is usually difficult to tell just how badly a patient is burnt when he is first seen; so the usual pro- cedure is to put sterile petmleum gauze over all the burned area ex- cept the nose and mouth. Sterile fluffed gauze and large sterile pads are next applied and the whole area carefully bandaged to provide a firm, even pressure. This pres- sure dressing helps decrease oozing at the site of the burn.

When arms or legs are involved, the limb is splinted in the position of use. Burned fingers are dressed individually.

The dressings are left undisturbed for about a week, or four to five days if the face is involved. and then changed down as far as the petroleum gauze layer. Mild burns usually will appear dry and moder- ately pink.
