Cuts, Iodoform and Vaselin Salve for Barb Wire
“Iodoform 1 teaspoonful.
Vaselin 1 ounce.”
Before applying the above salve it is very necessary to cleanse the affected parts with a solution made of one teaspoonful of salt to a pint of water. If the iodoform is offensive to some people, you may use the vaselin alone, although the iodoform is known to be one of the best healing remedies that can be obtained.
