1. Most likely:
A handsaw to cut through bones
A chisel to get out bullets
A shot of whiskey to ease the pain
A silver bullet that the person injuried can bite on
Bandaids made out of cotton or wool.

2. The Company Johnson & Johnson created what was called a First Aid Cabnet in 1890. The contents included wound dressings, gauze, cotton, bandages, ZO Adhesive Plaster (adhesive tape), Camphenol ointment for treating burns and scalds, a tourniquet, scissors, tweezers, safety pins and a J&J First Aid Manual.
