Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of American Medical Association, 1885, Vol. 4: Containing the Official Record of Its Proceedings and the Reports and Papers Presented in the Several Sections The value of crushed ice as a dressing for burns and scalds first pointed out by Sir James Earle, is confirmed by Dr. Richardson. The ice, after being reduced by crushing or scraping to a fine state of division as dry as possible, is mixed with fresh lard into a paste, which is placed in a thin cambric bag and laid upon the burn. This is said to banish all pain until the mixture has so far melted that a fresh dressing is necessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
