The i FRESCRIPTION DECISION w If you knew that the recovery of some sick liiend depended on the strength and purity of oertuin drugs or on the accuracy of their compound ing, wbut poiuls would you consider when deciding, where to take the pre- script'.ou? The essential requirements, we think, ate these, aud all of them apply to this sture: Dings are sure to be freshest where tfade is largest. Stock is sure to be hebt where physicians goto buy. Remedies are most reliab.e where standardized and assayed drugs are used. Compounding ... will be most accurate where the presoriptionist has had greatest practical experience. . in NEWLIN ' DRUG CO, CITY IS IN DEEP GLOOM KlieblJ Mourns Death Of So Many of Her People in the Terrible Train Wreck PimMo, Aug 9.
