Useful Medicine Bottle.

In Europe there is in common use
a medicine bottle with glass stopper.
which has tiny groove running down
one side OF Il. which corresponds to q
tiny groove In the neck Of the bottle.
These are used for medicines that
must be dropped. such as nux vomica
and stryehnine. and. when the stopper
10 turned with the groove toward that
in the bottle. the medicine drops out
easily and not too rapidly. but when
finished, the stopper need only DO
turned back so that the two grooves
DO not coincide. and the medicine is
protected from the air.
Thus Il is not necessary TO remove
the stopper from the bottle from the
time Il 10 filled until the medicine has
all been used.
