used sparingly, unless pa and ma are
willing to use an expensive cure. That
drug has climbed up to about three
times it's price before the war. And
Sister Sue with her headache will have
a little trouble, too. Phenacitin, used
to give relief from this ailment is soar
ing at $12 and $13 a pound and but
little of the product can be obtained at
that price. One good ''tummy"ache
cure was 40 cents a pound before the
war, and now has touched the $12
mark. other drugs used in prescrip-
tions are soaring at high figures, and
many of them cannot be obtained at.
