A list of the medicines that we found useful in the course of the 
trip and which covered all the illness with which we had to deal, 
it the tail end 2 have added flu medicine because that is what came 
in so handy for Joe on our return and, as you know, Carl and Roy 
both could have used it. Somebody may bo taking flu north on one 
or another of the boats. These medical supplies should be avail- 
able on ©ach of the vessels* 
** 
Brown mixture tablets without the ammonium nitrate, but with a trace 
of narcotic to ease the throat. Used for cough and sor© throat. 
Aspirin. 
das oar a pills (the best laxative). 
hpsora salts (I think I left a bottle or two of these behind). 
Iodine 
Bandages 
Adhesive tape, 
A lot of band aids. (We used more of these than of the two preceding 
items. ) 
Boric «eld. 
Some lanolin* in tubes, or otherwise* Fin® for chapped hands. 
Some salve for burns. 
Mercuric chloride for disinfectant solutions. 
Flu medicine 
Rmpirin such as you gave Joe. 
Fhenacetin compound with couir.e. 
You can get all or most of these from the Public Health 
Service, as we did. You will have to do that for those preparations 
which contain narcotics. 
I just talked tills list over with Joe and he believes, too, 
that it about covers the commoner needs. One always has the Coast 
Guard Service within reasonable call.
