Without reference to any special

both right and wrong. Not only - u
possible that a cream from prescrip-
ton should be purer than a atent prep

he referred to a non-proprietary cream
made at home or compounded n phar-
macy. I should say that, while having
the same ingredients. there could be no
difference OF purity between the results
OF the two methods Of compounding. yet
the one made by the druggist Is always
cheaper and usually better. because pro-
fessionally made AS 10 the price and
quantity OF any cold cream there Is so
much difference in the former according
10 the locality and the composition. and
the latter varies so greatly according TO
the use, that fear can give you littls
satisfaction in regard TO either. None OF
my creams is very expensive. and the
