Garner of Government and Royal streatS, Mobile,
OUR STOCK comprises every article sold
" by the trade, and which we recommend
as excellent and genuine. Physicians sup
piled with all the new and popular remedies,
Chemicals Vegetable Alk0lieS andI Ertracts,
and all other medical preparations, pure and
tree from deliberations. Families and Plan
tiers will find tito their interest to obtain their
medicines al our establishment. II may not
be inappropriate to state that from an early life
we have been reared to the profession of ApoM-
ecarieS and Chemists, and are therefore enabled
to test all medicines we purchase, and can
guarantee their purity and genuineness, ena-
bling physicians to calculate with certainly on
the action Of prescriptions, & thereby save the
lives of their palienls;-whereas by the want
of such security in the purity OF medicines,
their operation is doubtful and MANY no doubt
are sent 10 an unlimely grave. For instance,
Calomel, is adulterated with whiting, Opium
with extract of lettuce, liquorice, aloes, gum
arabic, sand, ashes, and manufacturers in this
country deprive it of its morphium, whi,h does
not materially Affect its appearance, but is de-
prived of its active principle. Quinine, with
the extract Of dogwood; plaster Paris, starch.
Blue mass with clay. etc, in fact all the most
valuable chemicals, those which physicians
mostly depend on to arrest disease, are adulte-
rated, which accounts for the great difference
in the relative prices for the same articles CIV
en- by different druggists. As such articles
have been, and are sold, we have only to guard
planters and families in purchasing their sup.
plies of medicines TO be on their guard against
imposition, rs there are persons who sell drugs
and medicines without a knowledge of the
profession and the means whereby the honor
of it can be sustained. As the quality and 'pu-
rity of medicines are OF greater importance
than the price, they can secure the first by look
ing to the standing of the apothecary and the
second should be such as would yield fair
recompense TO the honest dealer
