Regarding the selecting of a Medicine Chest, the quality of the medicine is of the utmost importance; each article should be selected of the best quality, and carefully put up, so as to be excluded from the air and dampness, as these have a tendency to injure their properties.

A Medicine Chest should not only contain the requisite variety of medicine, but also the proper quantity of each article. It frequently happens, when there is much sickness on board, that the medicine is soon exhausted, from the small quantity furnished; in consequence of which, the sickness is often prolonged, and the services of the patient lost. None but experienced and competent apothecaries should be selected to replenish Medicine Chests, such as the owner would be willing to have dispensed for his own family. A few dollars saved in purchasing a Medicine Chest, are frequently lost in the expense of navigating the ship, from loss of services by sickness.
