There were several cases of intoxication,

Some three years ago number of
prominent retail druggists - realizing
that big change was to be made in the
proprietary medicine business, that the
public demanded to know what the in
gradients were of the preparations they
were advertising, and that a general
reform was about to take place in pro-
prietary medicine manufacturing and adj
vertising, formed cooperative COM
pany to meet the public's demand. This
company was called The United Drug
Company, of which the undersigned
is one Of the thousand members.
Our object was, first, to manufacture
line of prescriptions such as we had
tried out in our stores and found to give
the very best of results, and second, by
owning our own cooperative manufac-
turing company we would be able to
know the exact formula of every prepar-
alton we were selling, thus enabling us
to give to the public the very best rem
edies we could find at actual manufac-
turing cost, plus single retail profit.
This enabled The United Drug Com
pany to escape the heavy charges for
advertising AMI other expenses such as
have to be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most important, it insures
safety and satisfaction to our customers,
because we druggists know just what
we are selling.
A committee of experts was ap-
pointed who spent long time in testing
the merits of more than two thousand
formulas and prescriptions recommend
