Antiseptic Dusting Powders 



ALUM POWDER COMPOUIVD, DR. McKILLIP 



Prepared from Iodoform, Boric Acid, Burnt Alum and 

 Starch in the proportions recommended by Dr. M. H. 

 McKillip to his students. 



This popular antiseptic dusting powder is less astringent 

 than many commonly used formulae, and has less tendency 

 to the formation of scar tissue. Its value is increased by the 

 iodoform content, which enhances its antiseptic and stimu- 

 lant properties and acts as an effective fly-repellant. 



This powder possesses powerful antiseptic, styptic and 

 healing properties and is especially effective in the control 

 of capillary hemorrhages from small wounds or bruises. Its 

 free application will be followed by almost immediate arrest 

 of bleeding and at the same time will prevent access of 

 pus-forming micro-organisms. 



When dusted freely upon cuts, ulcers or suppurative 

 wounds, it prevents the growth of many bacteria and through 

 its stimulating action it promotes the formation of healthy 

 granulating tissue and causes rapid healing. 



Indicated in all conditions where a stimulating, antisep- 

 tic and styptic dressing is required, and as a prophylactic 

 measure in the treatment of fresh wounds. 



Supplied in all-metal, sprinkler-top cans, which avoid 

 access of moisture and prevent the powder from caking.

When a more strongly astringent 

 dressing is desired than the formula 

 listed above, this product is recom- 

 mended. It is particularly valuable 

 for checking the growth of exuber- 

 ant fungus granulations (proud 

 flesh). Its use is followed by rapid 

 retraction and healing, and aids in 

 preventing wound infection.
