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.
