A portion of the spirit was swallowed and the inside of his mouth was also terribly burnt.

He was taken into a chemist's shop and oils were administered and applied, but afterwards in agonizing frenzy he escaped in a state almost of nudity from a lodging house and was captured by the police and taken to the work-house infirmary, where he remains in a dreadful condition.
REMEMBER! Always have a large blanket at hand to smother flames in burning clothing--also a bucket of water and a quantity of sand.

A siphon of carbonic water is an excellent fire extinguisher.
The gas of gasoline is heavier than air, so a container should never be held ABOVE a flame.

Keep kerosene and gasoline containers well corked and at a distance from fire.
Never inhale breath while performing with fire.

FLAME DRAWN INTO THE LUNGS IS FATAL TO LIFE.
So much for the entertaining side of the art.
