The Family Medicine Chest
There are many items that are useful to have in the home in case someone in your family should become poorly.
We have compiled a list of useful items and medicines and information about their use. All are
quite cheap and worth stocking at home in readiness for minor illnesses. Always keep medicines and sharp implements in a box or cupboard with a lock or store them well out of the reach of
children. REMEMBER THAT YOUR LOCAL CHEMIST CAN GIVE YOU GOOD ADVICE
