A word about prescriptions Everyone knows there are several grades of drugs and that cheap drugs are adulterated, making them almost worthless. Again medicines made from cheap drugs are very inactive and the patient using them wonders why he doesn't get well. Pre- scr1ptions should be compounded from nothing but the purest drugs obta1nable and from med icines that are up to the standard in strength. We make it point to buy our drugs from relta- ble houses, thus giving our customers the assur- ancel that they can depend on medicines bought at

slider the proposition OF Mr.. Heard's
company to cease furnishing natural
gus free to the city. 1t all came out
through the jocosc remark OF member
Of the subcommittee, that n new COM
pany would be sending neturalg gas to the
city within ninety days. Mr.. IIcarnc,
Of the counsel for tho West Virginia
company, laughed, and told Mr.. Heard
to toll what he knew about the new
company.
WANTED TO SELL LEASES.
Mr.. Heard related that some time ago
he was introduced to Mr.. Prcislcr in
Pittsburgh. Preisler wanted to sell
him some leases on gas territory near
Cameron. llr. Heard told him that his
company, had looked over the Cameron
field, and had decided not to do any
thing with it, Ms its ability to produce
sufficient gus was predetermined, and it
would cost 100000 to pipe the fluid to
Benwood. MIR. Preisler insisted, and
showed Mr.. Heard the leases They
were dated last August, and were TO be
null and void unless within six months
q gas well had been drilled OH each
farm, OF which there were about dozen.
NATURAL GAS IN NINETY DAYS.
A little over week ago, Preislcr met
Mr.. Heard in Wheeling, and brought
up the subject again. Mr.. Heard still
refusing to have anything to dowith the
matter, Mr.. Preisler said, that he had to
get some money out OF the leases, and
asked Mr.. Heard if he would give Sl25
or $3.50 for them. NO" said Mr.. Heard.
"Well," replied Mr.. Preisler, I'm have
gas piped TO Wheeling within ninety
days. "I'm sorry" said Mr.. Heard, that
can't lot you have the $3.50 to do it
with"
The subcommittee had been called
