Prescription Value
A prescription that lacks in the least essential
is worse than worthless. It may be positively
dangerous peril to the life of the patient. It
may defeat the doctor's efforts, and it may re
tard the recuperative forces of nature.
To have any value whatever, a prescription
must be oDmpouuded from drugs that are abso
. lutely pure and of standard potency. It must
be eaotly what the doctor intended it should be.
If it ie this, it is certainly worth the retail value
of the drugs it contains. Ou prescnptien ser
vice is right both in quality and cost.
