It means that if something develops a fault - a lady's stocking, a misfiring plug in a car engine, a feeling of illness - then it is far better to sort out the remedy straight away rather than let it become worse when; the lady needs a new pair of stockings; the faulty plug causes more serious damage to the engine; what could have been cured with simple means develops into a life-threatening illness. In all these cases, not taking care at the early stage results in more expensive results.
