Riassunto

Excerpt from First Aid to the Injured, and Transportation of the Wounded: Six Lectures Delivered to the Naval Cadets of the First Class at the Naval Academy During the Winter of 1892

The purpose of these lectures and the demonstrations which will follow them is to give you that knowledge and training which will enable you to administer to your comrades whatever help they may need when injured, and to do it intelligently and with perfect safety.

The desire to aid an injured person and to succor a fellow creature in misfortune is an attribute of every good man and woman. An acquaintance with the principles of First Aid to the Wounded, therefore, ought to form part of their education, but it is to soldiers and sailors more especially, who are trained to expose themselves to the dangers of being wounded or otherwise injured, to Whom this knowledge seems particularly desirable.

It is, furthermore, intended in this course of instruction to im press your minds with some of the leading and fundamental principles of hygiene, a knowledge of which will enable you to do much toward the prevention of infectious diseases among you, or, in case of an actual outbreak of an epidemic of whatever kind of disease, will at least form a safe guide for your conduct while it prevails, giving you a better chance of escape than you other wise would have.

Most all of the civilized nations, after having become convinced, through the accumulation of unmistakable historical statistics, of the enormous death-rates occurring from preventable diseases in an army in the field or wherever many persons are closely housed together, as well as of the great benefits derived from a knowl edge ou the part of the soldiery of First Aid to the Injured, and the principles of hygiene, have caused such instructions to be made compulsory.
