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 tak: place,

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

nothing with dead drugs. Dead drugs are really dead
stock. Dead stock means dull trade. If you are a cus
tomer of this store you know it's never dull here. Our
business wouldn't let us accumulate dead stock if we tried
and we are not trying. If you want live drugs come
to a live store.
