practitioners who are in the habit of sending to
distant markets for their drugs from difficulty of
finding all they wish here, or greater cheapness-
My assortment is now unusually complete, embrac-

makes them seldom to be met with except in large
cities, both Botanic and Alopathic preparations and
also stock of instruments, of much greater extent
and variety than heretofore kept in this Market
And satisfied as am, from the exercise of more
trouble and pains in the purchase of my goods than
