AN UP-TO-DATE PHARMACY.
The Bee wishes to call the atten-
ton OF the public to one of the most
complete colored drug stores in the
city, the same being made a success
by the confidence the public has in
its owner and manager. The motto
of this particular store is Purity,
Accuracy, and Promptness;" ;" not how
cheap the goods are, but how good.
In the management of the business
there is no deviation from the unal-
tered and usual methods. None but
graduated and registered pharmacists
are allowed to fill a prescription.
DR.. ]. w. Morse deserves and re-
ceives credit from his patrons, who
seem to have great faith in the way
his business is conducted. The md-
jOrity of our colored Washington
physicians indorse and recommend
him as the proper compounder of
prescriptions. In the number of
years that he has been in business
he has been successful in every de-
gree, and owes it to the above mot
to, and the confidence of the public
When you send prescription to the
above store you know the hand that
compounds it is properly authorized
by the laws of the District of Column
bia and the United States Congress.
There is always a full line of sun
dries for the convenience of the buy
ing public in the locality Station
cry, Fancy Articles, Confectionery,
Cigars, Tobacco, etc, are always on
hand; Toilet Goods, Perfumes, and
in fact everything that should go
toward making an up-to-date phar
macy good. To call and note the
buzz of business in this little store,
where the doctor and his help are
kept busy all the time, waiting on
customers and showing goods to
those that want to look his stock
over, you always find welcome and
a pleasant word at 1904 L street
northwest, where that moto is al
ways kept up: Purity, Accuracy,
and promptness. Goods bought in
small quantities, and disposed of be-
fore becoming stale.
The colored Episcopal clergy of
Washington are deeply disappointed
over the declination of Bishop c. H.
Brent to accept the assignment here
Mr.. R. B. Williams, mayor and
first citizen of thriving city in New
Zealand, is in the city, and was the
