PHARMACIST/
By R. H. Patterson
A few words today about bee
stings. You might feel it is
foolish for us to write about
the common bee sting, but
they can be both dangerously
poisonous and
painful.
In case of
multiple st
ings, a doctor
should be call
ed. As a first
aid measure
the stinger left
in the flesh by
bee should bt
removed and itching relieved
with baking soda made into a
paste by adding a little water.
A bee sting should never be
scratched.
Whenever your doctor pre
scribes a medicine for you
or your family-be sure and
let us fill your prescription.
Accurately and fast ... we
stand ready to serve you.
