Enquire within upon everything by Robert Kemp Philp

This will comprise such hints and advice as will enable any one to act on an emergency, or in ordinary trivial accidents requiring simple treatment: and also to distinguish between serious and simple accidents, and the best means to adopt in all cases that are likely to fall under a person's notice. These hints will be of the utmost value to heads of families, to emigrants, and to persons who are frequently called upon to attend the sick. We strongly recommend the Parent, Emigrant, and Nurse, _to read over these directions occasionally_,--to regard it as a duty to do so at least three or four times a year, so as to be prepared for emergencies whenever they may arise. When accidents occur, people are too excited to acquire immediately a knowledge of what they should do; and many lives have been lost for want of this knowledge. Study, therefore, at moderate intervals, the _Domestic Surgery_, _Treatment of Poisons_, _Rules for the Prevention of Accidents_, _How to Escape from Fires_, _the Domestic Pharmacopoeia_, _&c._, which will he found in various pages of _Enquire Within_. And let it be impressed upon your mind that THE INDEX will enable you to refer to _anything_ you may require IN A MOMENT. Don't trouble to hunt through the pages; but when you wish to ENQUIRE WITHIN, remember that the INDEX is the knocker, by which the door of knowledge may be opened.
