Tar DRUG BrsNEss-A MODEL DRUG STORE
Na'hville has been long noted for the extent Of
her drug business. This branch Of her commerce
having added to her growth and prosperity in
times past as much. perhaps, as any other branch
Of trade II l. gratifying 10 know, now that peace
has returned t. bless our land. and our merchants
are establishing their relations with the cOuu-
try. the trade Of which rightfully belongs to our
city. that our druggists, who always occupied a
high position for enterprise and ljbcrality in their
dealings. are fully determined to maintain the
reputation long ago acquired by Nashville as one
Of the best drug markets in the Southwest. This
fact has been forcibly brought TO our notice by
observing the energy. enterprise and strict atten-
ton 90 the wants and demands Of the public, ex-
hibited by our neighbors, Messrs. Dcmoville q
Co.. in the Union aud American Block corner of
Church and Cherry street. This is one of the old
est firms in the city, and has achieved its present
high position among the substantial houses of the
city mainly through the industry. strict integrity
and untring devotion 10 business of the senior
member Mr.. LEWIS DEuOvLLE. Their stocks
are laid in with the greatest care. and purcha-
scrs may always be sure Of getting pure articles
when purchasing from them.
One most attractive feature in this establish
ment Is toe prescription department 10 which
great attention is paid. and which has been
brought rs near perfection ns il is possible to
bring anything. This part Of the business has been
the study of Mr. Demovile for many years. and
he il most fayoably known for his skill care and
prudence in the preparation Of all prescriptions
giving his special personal attention to this de-
paTtmcnt. In thus. n in other branches of the
business he has the cooperation Of n corps Of
most gentlemanly and intelligent assistants, who
have been trained by himself and whose polite
and pleasing manners, and tho gentlemanly cOur-
tcsy with which every person who enters the
house Is treated, makes il a real pleasure TO deal
at this establishment. A prescription ease, mod
elcd after u design Of Mr.. d. himself, attracts
universal admiration for its beauty and perfect
adaptability to all the requirements Of the pre-
scriptionist, being in itself a miniature drug
store. and yet 50 admirably arranged 10 enable
the compomdcr of medicines 20 put up almost
every prescription likely 10 be called for without
scarcely moving from his tracks. II is certainly
the most perfect article Ia the shape of prcscrip-
ton ease that has ever been conceived, and Is
well worth u visit by all who admire beauty, sim
