IMPORTANT INFORMATION
REGARDING "DETAILS
When Your Prescription Calls for Digitalis How
Does Your Druggist Fill It?

You know that Digitalis Is a
heart stimulant. 1t is administer
ed in minute doses and in the
hands of the ignorant it is dan
gerous as dynamite.
Infusion Digitaljs should be
made fresh from Physiologically
tested leaves. Boiling water is
poured over them and they stand
for one hour. By no other means
can Infusian Digitalis of approved
strength be prepared.
When you take a heart remedy
it must be exactly right. And yet
there are druggists who use Fluid
Extract Digitalis, the strength Of
which they know nothing about
as it deteriorates with age.
There are other druggists. who
use second quality leaves or leaves
that have been in stock so long
that they have lost their strength.
And then there is the lazy phar-
macists who doesn't want to take

the trouble of preparing Infusion
Digitalis, because it is so much
easier to pour few drops out OF
a bottle.
Bad business isn't it.
For the patients life depends on
the purity and strength of the dig
italis which the physician pre-
scribed.
Don't ever let an unskilled phar-
maclst FIJI any prescriptions for
you. Don't have prescriptions
