First up , If this is in breach of copyright , Ill galdy take it down again

I found a booklet harking back to around 1939 , and figured that for the sake of curiosity value , it was worth scanning and putting up for a look see at what survival was about way back when :)

I do hope Im not being offensive and making anyone feel old here ..

Is basicly an ancient first aid booklet with a itty bit about identifying war gasses at the end ... the methods of first aid differ a bit to what I learned at the course I did tho ..

Ooops your "page #11" (containing pages 20 and 21) is missing.
 
#17

Nose irritants have no smell to identify them, but the effect is demonstrated by aching nerves in the face and gums like neuralgia and severe mental depression.


I'm sure there's a cheap shot in there about lady-farts grinding one down.
 
Page 30 is awesome :thumbup:
I'm gonna frame it
No worries on posting this i believe
It's for "criticism and comment" if anybody says anything ;)

I found it tucked in the front cover of a book called "British Red Cross Nurses Journal #2" printed in 1938 , fifth edition , first printed 1912

the bit about the war gasses caught my eye , its not often that I have run across anything like that before , I kinda had to share it :)

Glad you enjoyed it .
