MISCELLANEOUS.
J. S. GRANT, Phi. G.,
OF Philadelphia College Of Pharmacy,
Ap0thecary, a. South Main st.

The Old Year has drawn to a close,
and with the beginning of the New Year
we wish to thank the public for their
patronage and recognition of our efforts
to do our full duty. We are fully con-
scious that it is to them that We owe the
unexpected success of the past year. in
which our business has been more than
doubled, and We can only regard it as a
new evidence that our business naxirns
are such as to cause our customers to
have confidence in US and attract those
who are cautious in dealing with any
Pharmacist until they have become fully
assured Of the nature and extent of his
business principles. In our dealing with
the public We realize that the most scru-
puious care and honesty are paramount
in Importance. If these arc virtues in
all ordinary business transactions, they
become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and
without them no one can be a true Phar.
macist. The health, maybe the lie, Of
those dealing with the Apothecary de-
pends upon them. We consider il our
most sacred duty to shun authorizations
and spoiled as well as inferior drugs.
they constitute an evil from which Phar-
macy suffers no less than the public. The
wi is not new one, inaugurated in late
years; ii has existed as long as there
were men whose cupidity was stronger
than their sense of justice, and il will
doubtless continue as long as there may
be men with conceptions of business so
vague that they expect to purchase gold
for the money value of dross. There arc
no other moral principles required for
transacting Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary for any OF her business.
tnwavering integrity that remains unin-
huenced BY the visions Of gold along the
road Of questionable or deceitfi prac-
tices is the only foundation for success
that is worthy the name; il is SO in
every pursuit. and more particularly in
'hEnaCJ. nlIeTc aS a matter OF neccs-
sity il must is combined wtk constant
vigilance in aN dire, 'ipns 5" HS ~ s.lurr
all possible safeguards.
These are the principle which ~. hsto
saaeavored Ia live up 10, ana TO winch
we trust our increasing success is due.
We hope our former patrons will show
the same kindness toward US in the h-
ture that they have in the past, knowing
that no action of ours viii ever make
them regret a continuance OF their Ea-
rors. Yours truly,
Us. GRANT. Ph G., Pharmacist.
