Introduction xliii 



pocket, and Messrs. Burroughs Wellcome and 

 Co., who have supplied practically everyone of 

 note, literally from " Pole to Pole," including 

 Peary and Amundsen, with medical outfits, are 

 to-day the greatest experts in everything per- 

 taining to medicine chests and cases. Owing 

 to their long connection with expeditions into 

 Africa and other tropical centres, this firm has 

 greatly increased its experience, which it is 

 at all times willing to place at the disposal of 

 those going abroad. For general use their 

 "Tabloid" Case, No. 231, suggested by Sir 

 W. Moore, is one of the handiest. This is 

 fitted with " Tabloid " products, &c., as recom- 

 mended in Sir W. Moore's ' ( Manual of Family 

 Medicine in India," and weighs, complete with 

 drugs, dressings, and minor surgical instru- 

 ments, &c., rather less than 7 Ib. A most 

 excellent little case is " Tabloid," No. 233, 

 strong and simple in construction, and yet 

 adapted to wide variations in the quantities 

 carried of various drugs. This is a good case 

 to have fitted to one's own requirements.
