Precaution

"In taking this albuminate of iron,'' continued the physician as he prescribed for a fair patiënt, "you must be careful not to get it on your teeth." "Why so?" she inquired with mild surprise. "Because it will decay them. Some take iron in capsules, but I think by taking it through a straw you can keep it from getting on your teeth." "Well, now, doctor, suppose I should leave my teeth upstairs while I take the iron in the kitchen, do you think there would be any danger?" "Well- er- no. I think that would be a reasonable precaution."- San Francisco Post.
