When you need medicine you want the best. That is natural. A man may be
contented with an $10 overcoat, even though he knows some other man wears coats that
cost $45. A woman may wear $i gloves and see the $2 kind without being disturbed. It
is different with medicine. Everyone wants the highest quality ; and that is the only
kind I keep. I am particular in selecting and buying my drugs ; careful in making my
medicine ; and exact in compounding prescriptions.
I solicit your trade on these assurances.
