LIVING IN THE COUNTRY
DIR. BOYNTON'S MEDICINE CHEST


rs put up in San Francisco expressly for tho
use of families, and consists of chest Of
moderate dimensions, neat in its appearance,
containing those household articles, simple
remedies, that families always feel like keep
ing on hand for immediate and common use,
and book of brief instructions, describing
their use.
The object in preparing this chest was not
10 make doctors, but for the simple purpose
Of nursing; hence a majority Of the remedies
are such as are familiar to nearly all who are
advanced in life, and the book is simply q re-
presentation of those plain truths relating to
the department of the nurse already set forth
in more extensive works. 1t was the object,
not 10 say many things, but to say few things
10 simplify, and make plain for common
use. And in selecting the contents Of tho
chest, the object was not 10 set forth something
new and wonderful, but those old, and Of ac-
knowledged worth.
In view ofthc above facts, physicians have
everywhere encouraged the circulation ofthis
chest in unmistakeable terms. They recOg-
nize the fact that families do not, will not,
need not call on them on the occasion Of every
slight arrangement or infrmity. They do not
aud can not deny The fact that such obligations
of home can rest upon heads of families.
The book gives description of nearly every
medicine in the collection, their use, and
their competent parts, SO that every person
may know what he is receiving into his stom-
ach or applying to his person. This openness
and frankness is regarded by the best practi-
TONERS, and all considerable persons as justice,
more than policy. The universal conviction Of
the more thoughtful is, that that which re-
latcs to our health and physical well-being in
this life should, above all things, be known,
and not kept in the darkness Of secrecy.
In introducing the chest in the country, we
always first submit it to the criticism of prac-
ticing physicians, and feeling tho Importance
and seeing the necessity in this sparcely settled
country Of home nursing, and seeing the adap-
liability ofths chest, physicians in San Fran
cisco, Sacramento, Stockton, Knights Land
Lincoln, Folsom, and Auburn, have given It
their hearty sanction. Seeingthe necessity on
this coast of people relying upon themselves In
such matters. physicians in this State have re-
marked:-s.If could choose but one for IA
milv wonld every time choose the nurse in
stead of the physician ''E families would
get a collection Of simple remedies, with plain
instructions for their use, they would do away
with halfthe doctoring. ''Ail families should
possess themselves of collection Of common
remedies. with rlaia instructions for their
