A practical manual originally published by the South African Red Cross Society in the early 20th century. Drawing on Irvines extensive experience in mining medicine and emergency response, the book offers detailed guidance on treating injuries and managing rescue operations in underground environments. It covers topics such as fracture management, gas poisoning, stretcher techniques, and accident prevention, with a focus on the unique hazards faced by miners. Written in clear, instructional language and illustrated with diagrams, it served as a foundational text for mine safety training during a period of industrial expansion and increasing concern for worker welfare.
