The Umit Type First Aid Kat

The Red Cross has installed the Unit Type First Aid Kit as its stand-
ard equipment.

This type consists of a complete assortment of approved first aid
materials put up in standard unit packages each measuring 4 inches
long, 214-inches wide, and 5%-inch in thickness, systematically arranged
for convenience.

Although it is difficult to prepare a first aid kit to meet all needs, the
material contained is adaptable in part, at least, to every kind of acci-
dent. Ifsubstitutions are desired for any of the standard fills, they may
be obtained at a slight variation in price, depending upon their nature.

The filled container is quite compact. The units are so firmly placed
that they do not become disarranged in handling or shipping, although
they can be readily withdrawn or replaced.

The contents of each package are clearly indicated on the top in bold
type. The various units are thus readily distinguished, and they may
be withdrawn from the kit as needed without disturbing the rest.
Illustrations and instructions for their use are printed on each package.

A unit package contains one or more complete applications. Each
dressing is complete in itself, with sufficient material for a single injury.
The dressings are enclosed in sealed envelopes to keep them sterile. All
liquids, such as castor oil, ammonia, iodine, etc., are put up in a her-
metically sealed tube or glass ampoule, which prevents deterioration
and eliminates the possibility of the breakage or spilling of a bottle.
