Text C. At a Chemist's¹

As you know on receiving a prescription from a doctor or on following a home treatment all of us need medicines which are ordered or bought at a chemist's.

There are usually two departments in a large chemist's. At the chemist's department² one can have the medicine immediately, other drugs have to be ordered at the prescription department.³

At any chemist's all the drugs are kept in drug cabinets. Every small bottle (бутылка), a tube or a box of medicine has a label on it. White labels indicate drugs for internal use, yellow ones indicate drugs for external use and blue ones indicate drugs used for injections. The dose to be Jaken and the directions for the administration are also indicated on a label. Indicating the dose and the name of any medicine is necessary for chemists, nurses, doctors and patients themselves. It prevents confusing (to confuse— путать) different remedies, some of which are poisonous. Their overdosage may cause unfavourable reactions and sometimes even death.

At a chemist's one can buy different drugs for intramuscular and intravenous injections, for oral administration and for external use.

Before using the medicine the patient must know well that he is taking the proper drug and in the necessary dosage.

Notes

1. a chemist's (shop) — аптека

2. a chemist's department — отдел готовых лекарственных средств

3. a prescription department — рецептурный отдел

TextD

I went to my medical man. He is my old friend. He feels my pulse, and looks at my tongue, and talks about the weather, when I consider that I am ill. I thought I Would do him a good turn by going to him now. " What a doctor wants, " I said, " is practice. He shall have me. He will get more practice out of me than out of seventeen hundred patients with only one or two diseases each." So I went to him and saw him, and he said, " Well, what's the matter with you? " I said, " I will not take up your time, dear boy, with telling you what is the matter with me. But I will tell you what is not the matter with me. I have not got housemaid's knee.¹ Why I have not got housemaid's knee, I cannot tell you; but the fact is that I have not got it. Everything else, however, I have got."

And I told him how I came to discover it all.

Then he opened me and looked down me² and clutched hold of my wrist³ and then he hit me over the chest when I wasn't expecting it, and immediately afterwards butted me with the side of his head. After that, he sat down and wrote out a prescription and gave it to me, and I put it in my pocket and went out.

I did not open the prescription. I took it to the nearest chemist's and handed it in. The man read it, and then handed it back.

He said he did not keep it.

I said, " You are a chemist? "

He said, " I am a chemist. If I was a co-operative store and family hotel combined, I might be able to give you such a remedy."

Then I read the prescription. It ran:

" 1 lb beefsteak with

1 pint bitter beer

every six hours

1 ten-mile walk every morning

1 bed at 11 sharp every night.

And don't stuff up your head with things you don't understand."

I followed the directions with the happy result — speaking for myself — that my life was preserved and is still going on.

(Excerpt from " Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K.. Jerome)
