Doctor Dan The Bandage Man by Helen Gaspard 1950 Little Golden Book No. 111

This is Doctor Dan The Bandage Man by Helen Gaspard, a 1950 Little Golden Book No. 111 from Simon and Schuster, with color pictures by Corinne Malvern.

The green pictorial boards are bright with rubbing at the corners and along the gold foil spine, and the six Band-Aid bandages are gone from the title page, leaving tape and paper residue, as the photos show.

Dan patches up dolls, pets, and playmates, and the book was made with Johnson and Johnson so real Band-Aid bandages could sit right on the title page. A note in the back tells how the publisher asked Johnson and Johnson to help, and the story pages show Dan bandaging a boy in the middle of a cowboy fight.
