Yes, that's got to be it. Medical Supplies requested for a road party so would need to be a container of portable medicines, etc.

 

Thank you David!

I read compounder too.

 

"A person who mixes or combines ingredients in order to produce an animal feed, medicine, or other substance.

‘compounders make up medicines for doctors or pharmacies’" https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/compounder
