SOMETHING
Worth Reading !
A CASE OF POISONING !
How to Prevent Another Occurring.

Some time ago a lady was pOis-
Oned by her servant girl. She sent
the girl to the drug store with a pre-
ScriptiOn to be filled. The druggist
filled it carefully and handed it to
the girl. On the way home she
opened the bottle, poured out some
of the contents, and filled it up with
FOWler's Solution of Arsenic. The
lady took the dose prescribed on the
bottle, and before medical aid could
be summoned, died. The druggist
easily vindicated himself, his meth
DDS being SO careful and systematic.
Finally the girl admitted her crime.
For the last ten years | have been
compOund1ng prescriptions as fol
lows: Allprescriptions from doctor
are compounded by one man and
checked by another; the label is
written and checked in the same
way, thus preventing any mistake in
compromising or writing the direc-
tions on the label. The package is
then neatly wrapped and tied with
cord, then scaled in four (4) places
with red sealing wax. Should any
one tamper with the package, they
will be obliged to break one or more
of these seals. | have found that
this method meets with the approval
Of both doctor and patient, especially
SO when the patient is an invalid.
1t assures them that the medicine is
just as it left the druggists hands.
Please see that ALL PRESCRIP-
TIONS coming from my store are
properly tied and scaled. If not,
please report to me at once. Send
me your prescriptions. That is my
speciality. They will receive imme-
diate attention, and be filled by the
most approved methods known to
modern pharmacy. | deliver pack
ages to any part of the city when
desired. Calls left at my store for

ALL RIGHT.

Colonel Charley Norton Does All That III e
Agreed to Do and This Is o. X.
Colonel Charley Norton has at last an
nexed the Sandwich Islands to Durham.
He promised this before election and we
are pleased to know that he is fulfilling
his promise. He explained to us that he
meant business, but when man gets
into politics it is hard to tell just what
he will not do. Colonel Norton this
morning showed US a new throne which
he is building for the Islands, and we do
not hesitate to pronounce it very nice.
1t is in the Mary Ann style of architec-
ture, and does not bulge out like some
thrones we have occupied when abroad.
We are glad the colonel is redeeming his
promises.
