![APPLIGATION-OF- ‘TANNA E AGS For burns and scalds, ‘TANNAFAx’ should be applied lightly and allowed to dry before bandaging ; but, whenever possible, it is advisable to dispense with the bandaging altogether. In the case of second degree burns, the sooner the blistered skin is removed the more rapidly will the ‘TANNAFAX’ effect healing. When healing is complete, usually in 10 to 14 days, the black coagulum readily peels off, leaving a clean, normal surface. In all cases the dressing should be repeated until the burnt surface has ceased to be moist and red and the coagulum has become black and fully formed. ‘TANNAFAX’ may be used to treat first, second and third degree burns and scalds, and, by virtue of its non-greasy consistency, is of particular value when repeated dressings are necessary.
