unexpected success Of the past year, in

new evidence that our business nayi,,is
are such as to cause our customers Ia
have confluence in us and attract those
who are cautious in dealing with any
fharnEtciSi until they have become fully
assured oi the nature and extent of his
business principles. In our dealing with
the public we realize that the most scru-
puloHS care and honesty are paramount
in Importance. If these are virtues in
al ordinary business transactions, they
become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and
without them no one can be a true Phar.
naeist. The health, maybe the lie, o,
those dealing with the Apothecary de-
pends upon them. Ne consider il our
most sacred duty to Shun authorizations

were men whose cuphlity was stronger

doubtless continue as long as there may
be men with conceptions of business so

no other moral principles required for

Lnwarrring integrity tha, remains uni,i-
