- click on image for larger view - This woman (if that is "Pam") had about 5-6 prescriptions filled during the month of October in 1938 - not counting refills. Kleenex, adhesive tape, thyroid tablets, soap.... Can anyone make out the writing and give me the total list here? Thanks.

Hi Ray, I thought I'd give it a try:
Prescription refill
Prescription
Pint of Mineral Oil
6 bars of Woodbury Soap
Empirin Compound (A brand name for aspirin)
Neet (A brand name for Deet. Short for "Neet Deet."A commercially available mossquito and midge repellent which used or uses diethyltoluamide, referred to as DEET. Was or is available in spray or liquid form. The proportion of DEET in such a product varies; from 10% - 100%. (The 100% products are recommended for application to clothing. I remember as a child, during the summer it was sprayed from the back of truck by the cities to make a fog to kill mosquitos etc.)

Well, I am not sure about how well this prescription work but I would really recommend to go for Empirin Codeine (Aspirin and codeine phosphate tablets for oral administration combine the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, corn starch, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, and stearic acid.)
