A tissue dispenser comprising:

• (a) a housing having a tissue egress passage;
• (b) a tissue source of a predetermined quantity of dry tissue located in said housing, said tissue being dispensed through said tissue egress passage;
• (c) a fluid source of a predetermined volume of fluid located in said housing;
• and
• (d) an actuatable application mechanism in fluid communication with said fluid source and operably positioned proximate to said tissue egress passage, said application mechanism including a one-way, pressure-sensitive valve for permitting fluid flow out of said fluid source toward said tissue egress passage and onto said tissue upon the application of an external force.

A tissue dispenser comprising:

• (a) a housing having a tissue egress passage, said housing having a body portion and a lid portion pivotally attached to said body portion, both of said body portion and said lid portion having a cutting bar for segmenting tissue, said body portion further having a support element forming part of said tissue egress passage;
• (b) a tissue source of a predetermined quantity of dry tissue located in said body portion, said tissue source being a roll of dry tissue, wherein said tissue is unwound around said support element and dispensed through said tissue egress passage;
• (c) a fluid source of a predetermined volume of fluid located in said lid portion;
• and
• (d) an actuatable application mechanism in fluid communication with said fluid source and operably positioned proximate to said tissue egress passage, said application mechanism including a one-way, pressure-sensitive valve for permitting fluid flow out of said fluid source toward said tissue egress passage and onto said tissue upon the application of an external force on said application mechanism.
