Prevent

INFECTION

WITH MERCUROCHROME

It is dangerous to neglect wounds, however small; even scratches and small cuts may cause serious infections if they are not properly treated.

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 Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association for this purpose.

The 2% aqueous solution in applicator bottles does not sting and can be applied safely to small wounds. Injuries are reported promptly 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 in their practice for more than 25 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.
