connection raised the impression the
druggist might refuse seventy-five
cents as Insufficient
Now, isn't that odd? A few weeks
ago seyenty-ffve cents was rendered
to Broadway druggist and be did re-
fuse it. That is, he said he had no
Marmola Tablets. whereas he did have
seven cases But the wholesale house
was clos I'd, it being on Saturday, and
be had to prevaricate to protect his
regular customers who absorbed those
seven cases later in the day.

vogue. Millions Of cases of tablets are
