    War Cook Book for American Women Suggestions for Patriotic Service in the Home Compiled from Official Sources By: Frederic J. Haskin Issued by the: United States Food Administration (1918) During the Great War, the First World War, food shortages and the need to send food overseas to support the war effort left less for those on the homefront. The American people were asked to conserve those items needed to support the war in Europe. The United States Food Administration (1918) published information recognizing that much of the needed saving can be affected by substituting one kind of food for another in our diet. This booklet contains some of the information and recipes from the First World War; information that has value today, as well.    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B4SPLN9B Service Suggestions Join the Service Army Everybody must pull together.

The usual dosage of ibuprofen (Motrin) for adults is 200 to 400 mg orally (one or two 200mg tablets) every 6 to 8 hours as needed. The maximum dosage for ibuprofen brought over the counter is 1200mg (6 tablets) per 24 hours (which is 6 x 200mg tablets). The usual dosage of acetaminophen (Tylenol) for adults is two 500mg tablets every 6 hours with a maximum daily dose of 4000mg in 24 hours (which works out to be 8 tablets a day). But many experts believe most people should not exceed more than 3000mg (6 tablets) a day. It can be confusing because different OTC medications can contain different dosages of acetaminophen, such as 325 mg, 500 mg, or 650 mg. To add to the confusion, acetaminophen may be listed as APAP on the label. Examples of medicines that also contain acetaminophen include DayQuil, Dimetapp, Excedrin, Midol, NyQuil, and Sudafed. Always read the product label for hidden acetaminophen because you should not take more acetaminophen than recommended. There are several studies...

  U.S. Army Aviation Center Subcourse AV0611 (June 1993) Aviation Survival Part 1 - Survival Elements, Psychological Aspects, and Survival Medicine LESSON 3. BASIC SURVIVAL MEDICINE   1. GENERAL a. Foremost, among the many things that can compromise a survivor's ability to return are medical problems. Injuries commonly associated with a crash or forced landing are sprains, burns, fractures, dislocations, and other types of wounds. b. Injuries and illnesses peculiar to certain environments can reduce survival expectance. In cold climates, and often in an open sea survival situation, exposure to extreme cold can produce serious tissue trauma, such as frostbite or death from hypothermia. Exposure to heat in warm climates, and in certain areas on the open seas, can produce heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or life-threatening heatstroke. c. Illnesses contracted during evasion or in a captivity environment can interfere with successful survival. Among these are typhus...
