the man of the house has the true ‘Til fix it myself” spirit, mishaps won’t discourage him, but it is wise to keep the medicine cabinet well stocked with the f;rstaid materials needed for the treatment of minor wounds,
Most men dislike covering a small hurt with a dressing that will be more conspicuous than the hurt, and that will quickly become * soiled. The new flesh-colored, ready-to-use plastic dressings, with the gauze pad already affixed to the adhesive, meet this objection. The rectangular plastic strips, square patches and round spots (they all. come in the same 'box) look and fit like a second skin. Like the skin, they can be washed clean without being washed off.
It isn’t easy to keep a dressing on a barked knuckle, the palm of the hand or a skinned elbow. Another advantage of the plastic dressings is that they are elastic. They ^retch with the flexing of the joints and stay where they belong instead of pulling out of place. Both the square patches and the circular spots seal all around to keep out dirt and rnois; ture.
No one is immune to the risk of infection. Infection has turned many minor hurts into disabling injuries. Thorough cleansing of the wound and a protective dressing to keep it clean are the best safeguards against infection. They should never be omitted .to matter how small the wound.^
