1. Tincture of Iodine.
(One ounce in a large-mouthed glass-stoppered bottle.)
This should be in every household and every member above ten years of age should know where it is kept. Any open wound or cut should be immediately touched with this antiseptic.

To take iodine stains out of materials, use strong household ammonia.
2. Aromatic Spirit of Ammonia.
