Occasions arise in almost every family. particularly where there are small children, when having a stock of a few emergency remedies and supplies in the home would prove extremely useful. The farther one lives from doc- tors and a place where first aid supplies may be obtained, the more valuable becomes the well-stocked medicine cabinet . In an article in a recent issue of that, excellent health magazine “Hy-gem.“ Dr. Francis W. Palfrey suggests a list of supplies that he musiclm-s desirable. He gives some hints as to the use of the various articles suggested in the list As puh'llt remedies are capable of do:- 'mg much harm it wron ly used, Imw NUI‘ to use some of 3m medi- vim-s nn the list receives consider.- uhle emphasis.

Desirable remedies for external use are glycerin, a 4 per cent boric acid solution, boric acid ointment and tincture of iodin. Boric acid ointment is useful for dressing burns and scrapes. Tincture of i0- din is used on small wounds or cuts so as to lessen the likelihood of infection. While other drugs are mentioned, their usefulness as household rem-1 edies is very limited unless, possi-‘ bly, one has a very good knowledge of first aid medicine. Most of them should be used only on the advice of a physician. Other things than medicines con- stituto some of the most. useful articles in the medicine cabinet. These articles are often a necessny for the proper care and comfort of the sick or injured. They are the bed-pan, a drinking tube, an enema syringe, sterile gauze, sterile ab~ sorbent cotton, gauze bandages, 00t- ton wadding and adhesive plaster.
