The woman left the prescription and

"She Just looks like the kind that gets
medicine put up for the fun of the
thing"
81 didn't know there was anybody
foolish enough to take their fun that
way" remarked the next customer
ooh, yes, there are such people-lots
Of them" said the clerk. Seldom a
week passes that we do not put up
prescription that is never called for.
Why in the world the people who thus
neglect their remedies after ordering
them compounded will go to the trou-
BILE and expense of consulting a doctor
is more than l can figure out. If they
don't want to take the stuff prescribed
they certainly don't have to, but they
might at least have the grace TO come
and take it home after we have gone
to the trouble to prepare it, and not
throw it back dead loss on our hands.
Why. I've got regular morgue back
there for the reposc of uncallcd-for bot
ties of medicine. l keep the stuff in
definitely, hoping that in case the GUS
toner has not been carried off by sud
den death she will show up again some

make n practice of ordering medicine
that they never intend to take are not
apt to leave their cards with the drug
gist.
Most of these nuisances in the drug
business are women, and many Of
their prescriptions have been written
by out-of-town doctors several months,
or, in some cases years ago. In such
cases the customer probably has no in
tention of coming back for the med-
cine, but merely wishes it compounded
through some freakish fancy. In order
to guard against loss through such
crazy whims we ought by rights to de.
mand a deposit on ali prescriptions 20
