AND BANDAGE OUTDOOR GAMES OFTEN LEAD TO MINOR INJURIES A FALL FREQUENTLY CAUSES MINOR CUTS ON ARMS OR LEGS A WELL-EQUIPPED FIRST AID KIT SHOULD ALWAYS BE READY FOR USE THEN USE A BANDAGE, CROSSING IT OVER BEFORE vM I I TYING. DO NOT TIE TOO TIGHTLY FIRST CLEAN THE INJURED AREA, THEN NEXT PLACE STERILE DRESSING ON INJURY APPLY MERCUROCHROME for first aid-use MERCUROCHROME Do not neglect wounds, however small; even scratches and small cuts may become infected if they are not promptly and properly cared for. 'Mercurochrome' (H. W. & D. brand of merbromin, dibromoxymercurifluorescein- sodium) is one of the best antiseptics for first aid use. It is accepted by the Council on Phar- macy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association for this purpose. The 2% aqueous solution does npt sting and can be applied safely to small wounds. Injuries are reported more promptly for first aid care when 'Mercuro- chrome' is used, because the treatment does not hurt. Other advantages are that the solu- tion keeps indefinitely and the color shows just where it has been applied. Doctors have used 'Mercurochrome' for more than 28 years. Keep a bottle of 'Mercurochrome' handy for the first aid care of all minor wounds. Do not fail to call a physician in more serious cases. • Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. HYNSON, WESTCOTT & DUNNING, INC.
