England could boast. as her large &C

Useful Medicine Bottle,

In Europe there is in common use
a medicine bottle with a glass stopper,
which has tiny groove running down
one side of it, which corresponds to a
tiny groove in the neck of the bottle.
These are used for medicines that
must be dropped, such as nux vomica
and strychnine. and, when the stopper
is 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 be
turned back SO that the two grooves
do not coincide, and the medicine il
protected from the air.
Thus 1t is not necessary to remove
the stopper from the bottle from the
time 1t is filed until the medicine has
all been used.
