THE FAMILY DOCTOR

A very serious mistake often made by
the laity is that Of triflinS with medicine.
When remedy has been OF great benefit G.,
sufferer, he loses no time in recommend
ing that same remedy to any of his friends
who may happento be afflicted, regardless
OF the fact that the malady may be of an
entirely different nature from the one for
which the remedy wasoriginaIly ' prescribed.
1t must be remembered that medicine fs
prescribed according to conditions Of age,
Sex, occupation, and idiosynerasy. And
these conditions are rarely similar in DIFF
ferent persons. A remedy that has ac-
complished all that was desired OF it in
one case, may aggravate the maIady in
another. Consequently it is a good rule
to take medicines only when they have
been prescribed specially for your case.
