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.
