two years In search Of eXtrsordinary rem

perfect they purchased its prescription. The
druggists themselves also contributed pre-
scrlp'ions that they knew to be good
through their having been continually pre-
scribed and successfully used by eminent
physicians.
In this way about two thousand different
prescr ptions were collected. These were
