THE'IHOME'MEDIOINE CHEST. The purpose of the home medicine chest should not be to displace the family physician, or to take out of his hands the work that legitimately belongs to him, but rather to afford a convenient and ready means for giving relief in cases of minor indisposition- where the physician would in all likelihood not be summoned, and in severe ailments for giving temporary treatment while awaiting his arrival. Intelligent parents who are ever watchful for any departure from the normal in their children, in addition to a study of the symptoms attaching to their own ailments can often, if IMPEY’S MAY APPLE be at hand, prevent the development of more serious maladies. Those who already know the worth of IMPEY’S MAY APPLE give it foremost place in the medicine cupboard, and no remedy used in the home finds more favour than IMPEY’S MAY APPLE.
