give some idea of the amount of business
done: The number of prescriptions put up

several friends, who are good judges in such
matters, have, and they inform US that it
amounts to n0tksng-that it has failed to sat
Isfy the public-and advise us not to notice
it. We have concluded to take our friends
advicei and so let it rest. Nothing that we
could say, ii We felt 80 inclined, could do Mr..
Jones more harm than he has done himself.
