Sixteen Inch wood ia now selling for 14,00 to $1,50 per cord Coal at $7,60 per ton. - Those who use both maintain that at the prevailing price, the expente is about the same but lutur when the price of wood raises which it will if users are supplied with coal stoves cosl will i rove the most economical. It depends largely on the conditions. If atoaily fires are main tained throughout the day coal can be used to advantage H ib evident, how ever that each year the saloa ol wood 111 increase among the consumers buy in small qnantitua.

It may be positively dangerous a peril to the life ot the patient. It may defeat the dootor'e efforts, and it may re tard the recuperative forces of nature. To have any value whatever, a prescription must be oampeunded from drugs that are abso lutely pnre and of standard potency. It must be exactly what the doctor intended it should be. If it is this, it m certainly worth the retail value of the drugs it contains. Our prescription ler vice ie right both in quality and cost. -.
