Reader C.D.V. was pondering a wound cleanser which is dry, compact and inexpensive. He decided on potassium permanganate, which in addition for use (in a very dilute solution) on wounds can also purify water, treat fungal infection, canker sores, cholera, start fire and be used as an emergency signal. Wikipedia lists even more uses. A reference page on nursing notes that 400mg (1:1,000) tablets are diluted in four liters of water to give a dilution of 1:10,000 (0.01%). Obviously, just a little bit goes a long way when put in solution as a wound cleanser.

For our collection here at the Rawles Ranch, I’m looking to purchase a spare magazine or two for a Swiss 7.5mm Model 1896/11 Schmidt-Rubin rifle. And I’m also in need of 5 to 15 original brown cardboard and tin stripper clips (“chargers”) for Swiss 7.5mm Schmidt-Rubin rifles. I know for a fact that the Swiss exported more than just cheese and chocolate, so there must be some out there. Please e-mail me if you have any available.
