This vintage paperback book titled "100 First Aid Hints" is a very rare find.

Written by T.H. Gardener MB (Bachelor of Medicine), this book is a first edition and published by Success Publishing Company Ltd. 27 Chancery Lane London.

It is stapled bound and contains useful health, treatments, and medicine information.

The book is a valuable addition to any collection, with its special attributes making it stand out. The language used is English, and it is an original book from Europe, specifically the United Kingdom.

It is perfect for antique book collectors and those interested in medical history.

I think my favourite selection from this Amazing book has to be:

17. Cut-Throat. May cut large blood-vessels such as jugular veins and windpipe. Check bleeding by means of pressure on bleeding vessels, then mop out blood if windpipe is cut to prevent suffocation.

BITES AND STINGS.

19. Animal Bites. For dog-bites cleanse as above, and then cauterise. For snake-bites and bites of mad dog, at once suck wound, tie handkerchief......
