In the Sick Room.

fco one who has ever worn a plaster of any sort can ever forget the tantalizing. nerve-racking moment of the plaster’s removal. Every pore of the skin which the plaster covers seems to cling tenaciously to the plaster’s under surface, and thousands of usually quiescent nerves make their location painfully known. Here is a method of adjusting a plaster bo that the pulling-off process will not be so painful: Expand the chest or curve the back where the plaster is to go. and then press it on the expanded surface. In this way the skin will be stretched, and so removal of the plaster will not be painful.
