The History of Burn Treatment in the United States
At the time, serious burns were often treated using a process known as tanning. Dr. Oliver Kope at MGH had developed a burn treatment protocol that involved boric acid ointment and wraps infused with petroleum jelly. Doctors also made advances in figuring out when and whether antibiotics were helpful in treating burns.
