A Change In the medicine is so often ordered that you sometimes doubt the ability of the physician to properly treat the patient, when if the truth was known the fault is with your druggist and not the doctor. You become tired and restless waiting for a change for the better to take place, until in your anxiety you order a change of doctors, when in the majority of cases a change of druggists would be more beneficial to the sick one. When your physician tells you the medicine don't have the desired effect, ask him to allow you to have us prepare the medicine and note the result. We accurately compound the prescriptions of all physicians, no matter how complicated. We do the work ourselves and don't turn them over to an inexperienced assistant to fill.
