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.
Before changing doctors
try a change of druggists
