EMERGENCY TREATMENT* 



Emergency Outfit. 



One 4-ounce bottle of " Synol soap " or soft soap liniment. 



One 4-ounce bottle saturated solution boric acid. 



One 1-ounce bottle flexible collodion. 



One 1-ounce bottle 1-1000 solution adrenalin chlorid. 



One 2-ounce bottle aromatic spirits of ammonia. 



One pair scissors. 



Four 1-ounce packages Red Cross absorbent cotton. 



Four 1-yard packages sterile Red Cross gauze. 



Six 2-inch gauze bandages. 



Six 3-inch muslin bandages. 



One roll 2-inch adhesive plaster. 



One paper medium safety pins. 



One hand brush. 



Note. Plaster, collodion, and similar substances seal the wounds on which 

 they are used so that if any pus germs have been introduced they are in the 

 most favorable condition for doing harm. The use of plaster (except court 

 plaster, to cover a trivial scrape not involving the entire thickness of the skin) 

 must be absolutely condemned, for not only does plaster seal the wound, but it 

 is also very likely not to be surgically clean. Collodion is not surgically dirty, 

 like plaster, and as the ether which it contains has some antiseptic properties,
