THE CAMP FIRE GIRLS SERIES
By Hildegarde Gertrude Frey

Notes

Titles

These stories incidentally give a remarkable amount of strange medical advice -- one should never eat seafood when the outside temperature exceeds 90 degrees; lobster is another dangerous food, causing indiscriminate eaters to pass out a few hours later; apples lead to all kinds of problems, and paralysis caused by spinal cord injury -- in which nerves have been damaged and the fractured bone never fully healed -- can be spontaneously healed by a "pleasant shock"; bad shocks, on the other hand, are a great cause of pneumonia. My inner twelve-year-old was vastly amused when I came across a "Campfire Girls Manual" contemporary with this series and found out that in Campfire Girls, you got "Health" beads for having a daily bowel movement and sleeping with your windows wide open all winter.
