Drugs
I hat Cure

How the Peoples Interests Is Safe
guarded at BEANE'S Drug store.
1t is of the utmost importance to the
sick that the remedies they use should
be of the highest possible quality.
With this object in view it has al
ways been the policy at Beane's Drug
Store to obtain the very best medicines
without regard to cost, and 50 they
have been aptly called Drugs that
cure" at BEANE'S they never buy
bargains in drugs. In fact cost is not
considered but the only question is
"What is best?"
If there is any one maker Of a
particular medicine whose product is
recognized as superior, then that
remedy is selected. This same policy
dominates the entire prescription and
drug department Of this store and
makes it drug store that has the res
pect and confidence OF tile public.
When it comes to prescription max
ing none bu, the best drugs are good
enough. This policy does not neces-
sarily mean high prices to the
customer for in prescription work price
is largely q matter of conscience. AS
of necessity there can be no fixed
prices on prescriptions owing to their
variable character the customer must
depend upon the integrity and trust
worthiness of his druggist. All that
can be said is that at SEANE'S you
get a square Geal' in the price and
quality of your prescription and
