The classic 1929 guide to first aid by a household name in America

First aid is an essential skill, and in 1929 as the roaring twenties ended and the Great Depression began Johnson’s First Aid Manual was a reference used in homes, schools, businesses, and more. With information on treating a huge range of injuries and health issues, it became a trusted resource in millions of homes. It covered:

• Fractures
• Burns
• Bandaging
• Sunstroke
• Sprains
• Electric shock
• Drowning
• Poisoning
• And much more.

Today, this facsimile edition has the ability to educate both about the basic skills of good first aid, but also how injuries, wounds, and illness were treated nearly one hundred years go.
