C. g Bowser and The Druggist A Communication From the Family Pharmacist Tells of His Undoing. ADVICE FROM MR. B. Thinks He Knov.-s All About a Certain Line of Business, but Gets Tripped Up. r/*' ??Pbillinc i?r fn 1 l iglll, iiTW, uj i uu..rw . J MENTION is made in the papers now and then of Mr. Bowser's family druggist. I am the man. He has been one of my acquaintances and customers for the last six years. I was looking around for a place to establish a drug store when I ran across the present site. I ran across Mr. Bowser at the same time. When he saw me inspecting the empty store and learned the nature of my business he observed: "My friend, let me tell you something. , Don't take this store unless you know your business. This is no location for a man who has just quit working in a sawmill. We want a druggist here who can tell quinine from morphine without having to hunt up some cobbler to help him." "I think I know my business," I replied, with considerable frigidity. "Well, I hope you do. If it turns out that you don't I shall head a mob to lynch you. We have had enough of druggists' mistakes on this comer. The first time you poison any one. off you go to a lamp post" As I was moving the goods in Mr. Bowser came around and started in to toss the job. I stood it for half an i ^ "ilADAM, Ann TOU SUKE IT IS BOBAX YOU WAXTV" hour and then hinted that I could get along without his advice. He flew mad in a moment and replied: 'Then you go ahead and mix your poisons and tooth powder all together | and see what will happen to you." I had been settled a week before he came in again. He was good natured, and his, bearing was paternal. He at once made himself at home, and he jotted down a few rules for my future guidance, as 1'ollows: "Keep your strychnine in one place and your quinine in another. "Do not sell carbolic acid to any one you may suspect meditates taking his or her own life. "lie courteous and respectful to all customers. "If a customer asks your candid opinion about consumption cures and liver pads give hiiu straight talk. "Give a child just as much licorice for a nickel as you would an adult. "In making up a prescription ever bear in mind the fact that the former occupant of this store poisoned off a fat woman by getting in the wrong ingredient." In addition to the above, be informed me that he would drop in occasionally to encourage me with his presence, and that if he saw I knew my business lie would in time become a patron. I didn't give him any encouragement, but he began dropping in soon after that and scattering fatherly advice all over the place. If lie happened to find j me putting up a prescription for a ! woman in waiting lie would loudly observe: "Prescription, eh? Now, doc, remember what I have told you. Don't make any mistake in the ingredients. We j had a woman poisoned here last year, j and the people won't stand any further I nonsense." The woman would become frighteni ed. of course, and four times out of I rive would ask for the return of the prescription and ta&e it elsewhere. If a man with a discouraged look 011 his i face entered the store and asked for ! creosote for toothache the chances j were that Mr. Bowser would step for| ward and say to him: j "My man, abandon the idea. There i is hope as long as there is life, and i who can tell how luck will change with j you within a week?" j "What d'ye mean?" the man would i growl. | "Go home and make it up with your j wife and start all over again. You i are too good a man to commit suicide." ! Tiiop there would be a lively ten minI utes and I would miss a sale, and aft? er the man had departed Mr. P.owser would felicitate himself on having saved a human life. If he happened to be in the store when a woman asked for borax he would advance with a smile on his face and say: "Madam, are you sure it is borax you want':" "Yes, sir." "It isn't carbonate of soda?" "No, sir." "Be sure, now. I don't want to see you make a mistake. Perhaps it is alum instead of borax you want." "No, sir." i "All right. (Jo ahead, out lr anything happens, don't blame me." When the woman had become flustrated and departed without her borax I would read Mr. Bowser a lecture on the benefits of a man minding his own business, but my words would roll off like water poured on to a duck's back. After htiuging about the store for three months he got to believing himself quite a doctor and was prompt to recommend remedies to aiiing customers. He even went so far as to call on a sick man and prescribe for him, and, although the county medical society took it up and made it cost him $50, he was not in the least discouraged. On as many as ten different occasions I have bounced him out, but only to have him return after a day or two. Three months ago he began complaining of his liver and helping himseif to small doses of my French brandy. Then for the first time I saw my way clear and bided my time. He came in the other evening just as the mother of five children was asking after castor oil. I shook my head at him, but he couldn't keep quiet. "Madam, is the castor oil for children?" he presently asked. "Yes, sir." "You are sure they need it?" "Oh, yes." "Wouldn't citrate of magnesia be better?" "I don't tliink so." "Well, perhaps you know best, but I hope no tragedy will follow. If it wasn't for the professional jealousy of the doctors I'd call and see the youngsters and tell you exactly what they need, t|ut, as it is. you must take your own risk. This is pretty bad weather for funerrl processions." The woDfn left without making a purchase, and I changed the brandy jar on Mr. Bowser. She had hardly gone when he began talking about his liver and making his way behind the j counter. I heard him smacking his lips j over the brandy, and live minutes later he called out: "Say, doc, is that a fresh stock of brandy?" "Xo; same old thing." "It has left a queer taste in my mouth." "That comes from your liver." "Yes, I guess it does, but"? A couple of minutes went by, and then he suddenly sprang from his chair and shouted out: "Thunder and blazes, but I'm cramping all up!" "Do you want castor oil or sewing machine 6il?" "Whew?whoop! Say, by thunder"? "Well?" "Doc, there's something wrong with that French brandy. I've been poisoned, and IT! bet a hundred dollars to a cent I have! For heaven's sake, stir your stumps and give me a remedy!" "How could you have been poisoned?" I asked. "Never mind, but give me a remedy!" I gave him one. I took the greatest satisfaction in preparing and administering it and running him outdoors.-A crowd soon gathered around him as he hung to a lamp post, and while he was being guyed a couple of policemen came along, and one said to the other: "Here's an old jay with a jag on. T-?. iU. A ?? IUI1? IUI" Uie \> ?ii;un, <niu m uc bv/^o. And the last I saw of Mr. Bowser he was seated in the hurry up wagon and being driven off through the twinkling night. I think I have evened matters up with him, though I feel sorry for Mrs. Bowser if she has been put out any. BOWSER'S FAMILY DRUGGIST, Per M. Quad. KIs Argument.
