The most commonly used gen.

relatively harmless except for q

the United States Pharmacopeia.
Among the strongest of medic
inal preparations are the narcot-
les and anesthetics. Narcotics
should never be used by anyone
without a physicians prescription
and, indeed, no drug that has to
be administered with hypo-
dermic syringe should find place
in the average family medicine
chest.
There are some people with
diabetes who have been taught
by their doctors to inject them
selves with insulin. Even these
people should keep their syringe
in the family medicine chest.
There are all sorts of antisep-
tics available for use on the skin,
in first aid and also for gargling
and for washing various portions
of the body.
The most widely known skin
antiseptics are tincture of iodine
and two per cent mercurochrome.
The Council on Pharmacy and
Chemistry of tho American Medi-
cal association permits advertising
of. recognized antiseptics for first
aid, and tincture of iodine and
mercur0chromc are included
among such preparations.

the antiseptic is applied directly on

Bathing does a great deal more
than keep you clean. In the sum-

bathing adds to your comfort and
general feeling Of well-being.
Take q warm bath each night to
remove the CRIME and dust of the
day. Use plenty of soapsuds and
a long handled brush. You can fin
ish off with a cool shower IL the
warm bath has made you uncom-
Portable. II you don't have a show
err, then your next best bet Is to
fll the tub a second time with
clear, cool water.
A morning shower or a dip into

a real cold shower is most invigo-
rating. However, most of us pre-

Salt baths are an aid in prevent

Besides, they make you feel fresh

| Take handfuls of slightly damp
ened salt and rub your whole body
with 1t. Then step into the tub
or under the shower and rinse 1t
all off.
Bath salts have a cooling effect
when used in your bath and will
do much to refresh nerves that are

Pine bath salts are favorite In
summer. They make you think of

You can't take too many baths
in the summertime. They are an
infinitely important part of your
