Clue Chain 6

[elliemay1]

Hazlinny has kindly asked me to start a new Clue Chain post as the last one has disappeared from Latest Posts

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home-made clue which everybody is invited to solve.  The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue, easy or cryptic.

Hazlinny's clue: It's not the second or third help which comes to one's assistance.  (5, 3)

My answer: First Aid
