we had a Little Golden Book called Nurse Nancy. It was about a little girl named Nancy who (obviously) wanted to be a nurse.

She treated dolls, animals, and her brothers with Johnson and Johnson first aid products including Ban-Aids. Oddly, I just found the book on amazon and downloaded it. there is no mention of any brand names. My memory is quite clear, however. I wonder if we had a version sponsored by Johnson and Johnson.

Could have been petroleum jelly with lanolin which was used for burns. Doubtful that it was a true FSogol Jan 2018 #4
