Take an an example what may very
ravell be a typical illustration in the
nemee of a child suffering from scar.
det fever. The doctor leaves his pre-
seription, which is sent to the retail
druggist to be prepared. The medi
cine is sent home and given to the
patient. There being signs of im.
provement, the doctor orders the pre-
scription renewed.
* The bottle that has been kept in the
patients room is sent to the druggist,
who Is busy putting up n prescription
for another child who only has a bad
stomach-ache. © The droggist takes
the bottle from the scarlet fever pa.
Sent in his hands, but, being in a hur.
TY to gut the prescription off to the
patient suffering from stomach-ache,
sets the bottle down and puts up the
powders with his infected fingers.
One of these powders is given to
the patietn directly out of the paper
from the druggist, with a result that
moa few days she has a slight sore
throat, etc. The doctor is sent for.
and informs the anxious mother that
be very much suspects wearlet fever.
The bottles, boxes or jars in which
prescriptions are put up, should never
be returned to the druggist from a
Bouse where there is a contagious or
infectious disease. These communi-
able discases have to be uarantined
to prevent them from becoming epi-
demic.
