MANY of the problems of administering
first aid at the scene of war attacks or
industrial accidents are lessened with
the aid of this nurse's kit, worn as a back pack
that can be swung around to the front where it
will serve as a handy instrument and medicine
“table.” With the front flap unbuttoned and
hanging down, bandages, dressings, stimulants,
and first-aid instruments and accessories are at
hand in easily accessible compartments and a
pockets. The kit was designed by Mrs. Clemen- c
tine Campiglia, chief nurse for the Douglas Air- sl
craft Company, to meet needs revealed by ex- ©
perience. Y
Bag and flap are built around three full-
depth, vertical, dirt-protected compartments
for dressings and bandages, the latter of which
are pulled through slots so that none but that
to be used is touched. Loops and pockets in the
front and on the flap hold flashlight, pencil, for-
ceps, scissors, and the like, hypodermic needle,
swabs, stimulants, standard-size bottles of
morphine, eye ointment, alcohol, and castor oil,
and a bottle with felt covering that can be used
for water or coffee. Two horizontal muff-type
pockets on the back of the bag are accessible
from the outside and are large enough to hold
such items as splints and a vacuum bottle.
Heavy, serviceable duck is used for the en-
tire kit, with pockets and flap lined with cotton.
The harness of webbing is made along conven-
tional lines, consisting of two shoulder straps
and a cinch strap.
