Medicine Chest Directory And Family Catalogue Of Drugs Chemicals And Medicinal Compounds Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Medicine Chest Directory, and Family Catalogue of Drugs, Chemicals, and Medicinal Compounds Nothing evinces so positively the advantage of a judicious Selection of medicines in large establishments, as the increased demand for Medicine Chests within the last few years; and when it is considered for a moment how suddenly disease sometimes occurs, how liable we' are to accidents from the most trifling causes, and moreover the difliculty often experienced in procuring medical aid at the instant it may be required, it becomes'a matter of surprise, how so essential an object should have been so long overlooked, when other articles far less use ful are considered as indispensables. But so it is with human nature whilst we are in health we do not look forward to dis ease, but when once it appears, we suddenly take the alarm, and wish to be prepared against any future attack. At no period, has the anxiety for the preservation of life been so strongly demonstrated, as during the late awful visitation of the Cholera thousands who before deemed themselves secure have been taught the solemn axiom, that in the midst of life we are in death, and have been brought to a conviction of the duty they owe to themselves, their families, their domestics.
