Accuracy in Prescriptions.

A broader term than many suppose
Some people imagine it relates only to
chemicals or preparations bearing the
same name as that appearing on the
prescription. This is one step only.
To complete the sense of the term each
ingredient must be pure-must be Ca
pable Of exerting the highest medical
effect. We believe in accuracy of this
kind. 1t has given the esteem of the
physicians and the confidence of the
public. Will take good care of your
precription. We don't charge extra for
this carefulness. Accuracy is here.

Nothing says the Terry (Miss.)
Headlight, kills an enterprise as quick
ly as ridicule, and there are people in
every community who seem to derive
the principal pleasure of their lives
from ridiculing every enterprise that

minded to see good in anything that
has not been in existence since they
