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 mer- bromin, dibromoxymercurifluorescein-sodium) is one of the best antiseptics for first aid use. It is accepted by the Council on Pharmacy and Chem- istry of the American Medical Association for this purpose. The 2% aqueous solution does not sting and can be applied safely to small wounds. Injuries are reported more promptly for first aid care when 'Mercurochrome' is used, because the treatment does not hurt. Other advantages are that the solution 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.
