PRESCRIPTION
DECISION
. If you knew that the recovery ofj some sick 1'iiend depended on the
strength and purity of certain drugs or on the accuracy of their compound-,
iug, what points would you consider when deciding where to take the pre
scription? The essential requirements, we think, ate theiie, and all of them
. apply to this store: Drugs are sure to be freshest where t.'flde is largest.
' Stock is sure to be best where physicians go to buy. Remedies are most
reliab.e where standardized and assayed drugs are used. Compounding
will be most accurate wbere the presoriptionist has had greatest practical
experience.
