Sprains and Charley Horse

Group 3 includes sprained ankles,
wrists, shoulders, knees, backs or
“charley horse.”

On these immediately apply Athle-
tic Liniment, rubbing carefully, ‘Then
wipe clean and apply Athletic Red
Hot Ointment as directed under class
two. Require the athlete to lightly
flex the injured part to assist in
bringing a return of normal circula-
tion. Repeat this treatment twice
a day as long as necessary.

Where there are bumps and bruises,
massage with Athletic Analgesic
Balm. It creates warmth and should
be covered with towels to “hold in”
this heat that has been generated.

If additional heat is desired, a small
amount of Athletic Red Hot Ointment
can be mixed with the Analgesic
Balm.

Athletic Analgesic Balm is espec-
ially commended for bruises of the
flat muscles of the neck and chest,
and makes an ideal treatment for
congestion in the chest and throat.

Whenever the heat lamp is. used,
Athletic Analgesic Balm should first
be applied, as it forms a protecting
film, which helps to prevent “lamp
burns.”

In some cases, athletes have thin
or tender skin, and unless they are
gels ee the lamp may do more

arm than good.

Note—If the skin is broken over a
bruise or sprain, the open wound
must be first treated to prevent in-
fection,

 

Athletic Antiseptic Alcohol

Athletic Antiseptic Alcohol is pre-
pared on Government formula and
contains 70 per cent pure grain al-
cohol. It should not be used as a rub-
Gown, but is recommended as an anti-
septic wash for cleaning out old or
infected wounds and preparing them
for antiseptic dressings.

Cheap Alcohol

There are many cheap rubbing al-
chols on the market. They are made
to sell at a ridiculously low price and
it is reasonable that you get just
what you pay for. The analysis of
many of these show adulteration with
corresponding reduction of alcohol
and most always these adulterants
are harmful to the skin,

The Pure Focd and Drug Depart-
ment, after a careful checkup of our
formula, have given us _ permission
to use the name Antiseptic Alcohol
which so far as we know is the only
rubbing alechol permitted to be sold
as such. For your own protection, pay
the few cents difference and get the
results you are entitled to.

NOTE: Antiseptic Alcohol is prepared
in pint size only, because of Govern-
ment regulations, and if a gallon is
desired, eight pints will be shipped.

Shin Splint

Shin splint is the name given to
an extremely sore condition of the
muscles on the edge of the shin bone.

This may be caused by unaccustom-
ed exercise. running on the toes, hard
ground or back slip on soft fields or
tracks.

Two treatments are recommended.
Either will produce the desired re-
sults.

First—Massage with Athletic Lini-
ment, then apply Athletic Red Hot
Ointment. Cut the foot out of a wool-
en stocking, leaving it long enough
to completely cover the injured area.
Pull this over the Red Hot and leave
until heat is generated and subsides.
For best results, repeat twice daily.

Second—Apply Athletic Analgesic
Balm and massage, then apply a
coating of Athletic Analgesic Balm
and cover with one-half inch thick-
ness of absorbent cotton and bandage
firmly to hold in warmth generated
Fasten on with adhesive tape. Re-
peat twice daily—if possible.

NOTE: For best results for either
treatment, bandage shculd be left on
at night. Rest from work is essential,
but normal activities should be con-
tinued.

If this condition is caused by bro-
ken arches, they. must first be cor-
rected or you will have a chronic con-
dition.
