No, I Didn't

No I didn't survive Friday the 13th unscathed. Before the clock struck midnight I was viciously attacked by a wasp. It bit me or stung me and it hurt really bad! Of course I may be a big sissy and have a very low pain threshold, but it really hurt. After digging through the medicine cabinet in search of relief I settled on Bactine. But I could have used one of these. Just think of all the room I could save in the bathroom cabinet if I could decide on one.

Nature's remedy. Vegetine, the great blood purifier. Purifies the Blood, renovates and invigorates the whole system. Its medicinal qualities are Alterative, Tonic, Solvent and Diuretic...Vegetine in powder form is sold by all druggists and general stores...

Mother Gray Sweet Worm Powders
The children's worm medicine so successfully used by Mother Gray, for years a nurse in the Children's Home in New York...If you have a child fretful and cross, with dark circles around the eyes, offensive breath, frequent headaches, constant thirst, pains in the stomach and bowels; or if your child's sleep is disturbed by a hacking cough, and grinding of the teeth, and the child frequently talks during sleep, and on waking is pale and irritable, with irregular bowels and itching and bleeding at the nose...they are as harmless as milk and pleasant to take and never fail... (my daughter definitely needs this.)

And for good measure I need this:

Ham's Oil of Gladness
...Ham's Oil of Gladness is a nice clean and pleasant remedy for the many aches and pains that are constantly occurring in every household. It is pleasant to the senses being aromatic, and limpid as pure water...It is used internally and externally, full directions in English and German accompany each bottle...

Well, I guess I would just fill up the medicine cabinet with different stuff.
