The violent removal of the outer skin in any part of the body, such as may be caused by a fall or a blow

| # Abrasion - Victorian Health and Medicine ## From 'The Dictionary of Daily Wants' - 1858-1859 ABRASION is the violent removal of the outer skin in any part of the body, such as may be caused by a fall or a blow. The best remedy is court plaster or goldbeater's skin, or linen bandages spread with spermaceti ointment. Common adhesive plaster should never be applied in these cases, because it irritates instead of healing. > | The Victorian Hospital by Lavinia Mitton Short perspective on Victorian medical care More information and prices from: - British pounds - US dollars - Australian Dollars - Canadian dollars - Euros - Euros |
