MEADE & BAKER, pharmaceutists, No. 9l9
Main street. Gentlemen OF the very incest
tastes and accomplished in their profession.
Their preparations are absolutely agreeable
to take-insomuch that it has become to be
a sort Of seli-iudulgence with people who
are able to lay up to 60 to bed and take
Meade & Bakers medicine. Their public
benefaction is thus sometimes perverted to
Il sort OF evil. But if people will do SO they
can't help it.
Not only is the store OF Meade T. Baker
the dispensatory OF the neatest and best
things for the sick, but it is supplied with
exquisite toilet articles in the line Of soaps,
combs, mirrors, brushes, scented waters,
and most enchanting perfumeries. For
Christmas presents they have some OF the
charmingeSt articles-perfumeS that Will
cling to the vessels which contain them long
after they are broken. -'3@' ..
