“Rastus “, said his friend who had been reading in the paper of a number of fatal incidents , “if you had to take your choice between one or the other , which would  you rather be in, a collision or an explosion?”

Injury Anecdote

An enthusiastic lady told a group of friends in delight of the opportunity she had had to apply the knowledge she had acquired  in her First Aid class. “ It was wonderful”, she said, “it was so fortunate that I had  had the training.I was crossing the Fifth Avenue at 57^th street and heard a crash behind me. I turned around and saw a poor man who had been struck by a taxicab. He had a compound fracture of the leg , was bleeding terribly, was unconscious  and seemed to have fractured a skull. Then all my First Aid came back to me; and I stooped right down and put my head between my legs to keep myself from fainting”.

At last he managed to complete all of the task except for one more unfilled line which seemed to stump him, finally, licking his pencil, he applied himself firmly to the section headed, “Remarks”, and wrote “ He didn’t make none”.
