Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 240, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 October 1912 — Medicine Dropper. [ARTICLE]

Medicine Dropper.

Medicine so strong that a dose must be limited to seven drops bad been prescribed for the man with unsteady bands. His t&mffy also had shaky hands, and as there was no medicine dropper in the house it looked as if somebody would have to take a midnight trip to the drug store. But a visiting relative that they had put up for the night suggested an alternative,. “Take the half of that raw eggshell —raw, mind you; cooked eggshell Is too brittle and crumbles too easily—that I saw lying on a saucer in the cupboard, drill a hole in it the size of a pinhead, and let the medicine trickle through that. It will be sure to fall out in drops of the required size, and you couldn’t make a mistake if you wanted to.”
