Feb 20th, 2019: Drug Chest
In the 1800s the doctor might be most of a days ride away on old Dobin, so every household should be equipped to handle minor problem.
Yeah, but people are still people and preparations are less pressing than the problems immediately at hand. Unfortunately not everyone could afford a drug chest like this one from 1860, measuring 15 3/4" wide x 12 1/4" deep x 8 1/4" high. Quote:

I have one of those. At any given time it's worth $1000 - $2000.
It's made of some kinda metal, and cost ~$80.
