APPENDIX E.

- 2 Glass Female (Vaginal) Syringes.
- 1 Metallic ditto ditto (large).
- 1 Enema Apparatus, fitted with metallic tubes,
&c. Those with India-rubber or
Caoutchouc flexible tubes are to be avoided, as they readily spoil in hot climates. - 1 Self-registering Clinical Thermometer.

- 2 Yards of Lint.

MEDICINES.
(These had better be purchased from some good firm of chemists and druggists.)
All should be kept in glass-stoppered, or well-corked bottles, protected, as far as possible, from the action of light and heat, and placed under lock and key; some special person being responsible for their being given out for use.
(It is as well to note here that all the Poisonous drugs and their preparations that are being dispensed should be equally carefully cared for, and placed in a special locker of their own, marked POISON, under a caretaker, who ought to be held responsible for their safe custody.—Aitchison.)
| Sulphate of Quinine, | 2 ounces. |
| Powdered Ipecacuanha, | 8 „ |
| Santonin, | 4 „ |
| Bromide of Potassium, | 4 „ |
The following should be marked:
POISON
(To be administered with caution).
| Calomel, | 4 ounces. |
| Acetate of Lead, | 8 „ |
| Opium (in 1 grain pills), | No. 200 |
| „ as Laudanum, | 8 ounces |
| Liquor Ammoniæ, | 8 „ |
(In a hot climate great care should be taken in handling and opening a bottle containing Liquor Ammoniæ, as on very little provocation, as shaking the bottle in trying to remove the stopper, which nearly always becomes fixed, it is almost certain to burst. The stopper therefore should be extracted with as little force as possible, and at the same time care should be taken that the contents do not fly up into the face and eyes.—Aitchison.)
The following should be marked:
POISON
(For external application only).
| Biniodide of Mercury, | 4 ounces. |
| Blistering Fluid, | 4 „ |
| (this is the Liquor Epispasticus of the British Pharmacopœia.) | |
| Carbolic Acid, | 2 pints |
(When pure this is solid at a temperature of nearly 102° Fahr., above that it becomes liquid; before giving it out therefore for use, liquefy a sufficiency, by placing the unstoppered bottle in the sun, or near a fire, or in a little warm water, and then from the bottle measure out the quantity required; in doing so, remember the fact that whilst pure it is a severe caustic.—Aitchison.)
