![In bis books, Founding the Congo Free State and In Darkest Africa, the late Sir H. M. Stanley wrote in the very highest terms of ' Tabloid ' Medical Equipments. Amongst other cases used during Stanley's travels is the famous Rear-Guard 'Tabloid' Medicine Chest, which remained in the swampy forest regions of the s°anfey's°f Aruwhimi for nearly four years, and more than once Guard'* was actually submerged in the river. When it was £>sted by brought back to London, the remaining contents Lancet were tested by the official analyst of The Lancet (London, Eng.), who reported that the 'Tabloid' medicaments had perfectly preserved their efficacy. The late Surgeon-Major Parke, Stanley's Medical Officer, in his Guide to Health in Africa, writes : — The medicinal preparations which I have throughout recommended are those of Burroughs Wellcome & Co., as I have found, Tjnfaiiing after a varied experience of the different forms in which reliability, drugs are prepared for foreign use, that there are none and'con-^ which can compare with them [' Tabloid ' products] for venience convenience of portability in transit, and for unfailing reliability in strength of doses after prolonged exposure. At this point it is of interest to turn to the ' Tabloid' Medicine Chest, here illustrated, which was discovered near Kenia, in the Aruwhimi Dwarf Country. It was the Emin Pasha last chest supplied to Emin Pasha, Gordon s Governor of the Equatorial Sudan. This chest was taken by Arabs when Emin Pasha was massacred in 1892, and was recaptured by Baron Dhanis, Commandant of the Congo Free State troops, after the battle of Kasongo. It was subsequently stolen by natives, and finally recovered by an officer of the Congo Free State, and returned to Burroughs Wellcome & Co.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b20456724_0049.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
