OF having his prescriptions juggled by

He knows precisely how certain
medicines will act upon the system
and when he specifies particular kind
of drug he has scientific reasons for
so doing. He mems just what he
writes in the prescription and not
something else 'just as good"
The recovery or death of many of
his patients rests with the druggist.
We fully realize this great respon-
sibility every time we compound a
prescription. We back up the doc
tors knowledge and judgement by fur
nishing the exact quality of drugs and
medicines required. We solicit the
patronage Of all thoughtful and Justice
loving people.
