emergency. Anything serious must involve a return to the 

 nearest place where medical aid can be obtained ; with care and 

 judicious haste, a patient may reach it in good time. A small 

 note-book of doses and medicines is badly wanted. About twenty- 

 four simple and ordinary cases, with their treatment, would be 

 invaluable. None having come into the writer's hand, he can only 

 recommend every traveller to take the following with him. The 

 bottles are small, and the whole lot will not occupy much room if 

 securely packed in a case : 



Perry Davis's pain killer, one small 

 bottle. 



Cockle's pills, one box. 



Chlorodyne (Collis-Browne's), two bot- 

 tles (2oz.) 



Compound camphor liniment, one bot- 

 tle (2oz.) 



Rose water (for the eyes), one bottle 

 (2oz.) 



Vaseline (for face and hands), four 

 bottles (small). 



Hollow ay's ointment, one pot. 



Eno's fruit salt, one bottle. 



Jamaica ginger essence, one bottle 



(loz.) 



Mustard leaves, one tin case. 

 Court plaister, two packets.

 Lint, a small roll. 

 Brandy, one bottle (the best). 

 Small scales and weights. 

 Small glass measure, for drops. &c. 

 Quinine (loz.) 

 Insect powder, four tins. 

 And an Ingram' s enema, in case 



medicines fail or cannot act. 



WRITING MATERIALS, MAPS, &c.
