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.

Ingredient must be pure-must be ca
pabla of exciting 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
prescription. W. don't charge extra for
this carefuIness. Accuracy is here.

He would have felt 1t doing it's work, k,-warming and mak- ing flexible the torpid muscles, extracting the pain and soreness, promoting the free circulation of the blood, stimulating the skin and lungs to proper action, and so dissolrins and banishing the malady.
