“The 3M company puts out a free index-card-sized booklet of first aid tips. The 32-page booklet contains no advertising (beyond the name of the company and the Nexcare division)… [T]he booklet puts all the standard first aid info in one convenient form that can be kept where most likely to be needed and consulted quickly in time of need while under stress to do the correct thing. And most folks, in my experience, don’t have a clue about what to do for common injuries (witness all the butter scraped off burns in emergency rooms). I keep one copy in each of our car’s glove boxes and one in our medicine chest, so I can instantly check the proper approach when time is short and the pressure to DO SOMETHING arises.

Nexcare will send out a reasonable number of copies on request. I requested and received 100 copies and distributed them via a local neighborhood group. They even paid my toll-free call! Ain’t capitalism great?” (Cool Tools)
