A correspondent Of The Chicago Tri-
bune complains that he took a foreign
prescription TO a druggist in Chicago
who declined to return the paper after
putting up the medicine. The writer
claims that In England and Scotland
the apothecaries return prescriptions,
retaining copies. A C.-icago druggist
thinks that a good case can be made

druggist will give a customer a copy Of
