From the popular Mary Frances story-instruction series, this volume
begins when Mary Frances completes a Red Cross First Aid class just
before her birthday. When her brother offers any favor she wants as
a birthday present, Mary Frances, proud and anxious to show him how
much she had learned, asks him to grant her a day of play at the
Doll Hospital in her playroom. As the children step into the
playroom, in the magical way that things happen in the Mary Frances
books, they immediately shrink until they are the same size as the
dolls and thus the adventures begin.
The ensuing story concerns the escapades of the dolls---the
make-believe maladies that befall them and the pretend remedies
that relieve them---as the children play hospital. The delightful
cast of characters includes Miss Helpem, Miss Bossem, Doctor
Surecure, Doctor Quickenquack, Officer Arrestem, Officer McStoppem
and the Brave Family. Safety training lessons are interwoven with
the story, such as how to identify poison ivy, not to play with
matches, keep flies off of food, and roll if you catch on fire.
Detailed diagrams are provided for how to wrap bandages by
practicing on a doll. Set in the early 1900s, the story also
addresses the issues of soldiers injured in World War I. The
overriding theme is to prevent accidents before they happen, and to
see a doctor for serious injuries and illnesses.
The back of the book contains an alphabetical reference list of
common afflictions such as cuts, bruises, burns, poison ivy,
earaches, insect bites, bee stings, colds, bloody nose, car
sickness, and black eyes, along with simple home remedies including
baking soda, vinegar, and oil.
