 Er. Scott fails 10 understand why l procurcd prescription from Dr. Besuehsnp. then lsft Forrest City where could easily get the drugs and call al country store for them From A phreno- logical observation of MT.

Scott uniformed us that the prescriptionists of Ar kansas are such foul creatures as to soil, pollute and dis6gure a pre- scriptlon by merely holding it in their fgers long enough 10 read it. Yet this seems to be iheIr sad con- dIiion for because my prescription sas not soiIed he "now firmly
