Being Human. We Are Proud of Our PreScrip- ton Department.

It's the cornerstone on which we have built up the "Sleepless Store"
 The number of prescriptions filled with us is showing large increase every month. Pure drugs, careful compounding and prompt delivery are telling heavily in our favor with the public. That makes us feel good, of course.
 And we are particularly proud of the confidence which the doctors repose in us. Many of them telephone their pre- scriptions to us direct-that is, without writing them out. Of course in every instance of this kind we phone the prescription back to the doctor and get his 70. K" before proceeding to compound it. This method saves a lot of time for the doc tor, but the patient is the chief benefciary-he gets his, pre- scription that much quicker and is the sooner on the road to recovery.
 And it is we'll for both doc tor and layman to keep this fact in mind: A. prescription filed with us will be refilled and delivered at any minute of the day or night.
