JOSEPH B. BOYLE.
Druggist

bfuYytoC-
The "Old Reliable Drug Store, opened
by the late DR.. Edward d. Wells &
Brother about the year 1870 and sold in
1877 to the present proprietor, Mr.. Joseph
B. Boyle, has enjoyed to the fullest extent
the implicit confidence of not only the i'm
mediate neighborhood, as we'll as throughout
the county, but of the entire Medical pro-
fession of the city and county during all
these years. Why? Because he has ex-
tended to all his patrons and customers
only the purest and best drugs, chemicals,
&C., that the market could afford, together
with leading line of the standard Pro-
prietary medicines, fancy and toilet articles,
perfumeries, physicians and dental sup
plies, stationery, confectionery, cigars, &c.
Having handsome soda fountain, he
serves as fine line of syrups as one could
wish to enjoy.
Mr.. Boyle has stuck strictly to the le-
gitimate drug business, never having con-
nected any other line with it.
Mr.. Boyle, who is registered druggist,
learned the Drug Business in Washington,
D. c. So quickly did he become ploici;;
ent in the Prescription Department
that he was placed in charge of that
branch Of the business before he had
been studying whole year, which demon
strates his proficiency in filling prescrip-
tions. Consequently he has always paid
special attention to that line through the
past thirty years, which has afforded him
much pleasure, at the same time given his
patrons the benefit, at all times, of his
best and successful efforts in that line
His specialties are Physicians prescrip-
tions and orders which always receive his
personal attention.
He is also the proprietor of several well
known and useful family remedies fol
which he has large and wide demand.
All the years of his life having been
spent in your midst, his habits and popular
ity, need no comment at our hands, but
speak for themselves.

toothache." "Oh, Is that allf I'll tell
you what will cure It," And every per.

him.
When the jester reached the dukes
chamber. the same question and an

prince, II know Of something that will
take the pain right away" Gonele
