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.

This tale is told in the Orient. A
lady one day fouDd a man following
her, and she asked him why he did
so. His reply was, 4 Y >u are very
beautiful, and I am in love with
you " "Ob. you think me beautiful,
do you? There is my sister over
there. You will fiod her much more
beautiful than I am. Go &rd make
love to ber." On hearing this, the
man went to see the sister, but
found she was very ugly, so be came
back in an aDgry mood and asked the
lady why she had told him a falsehood.
She then answered, 4Why
did you tell mo a falsehood? The
man was surprised at this accusation
ard asked when he had done so.
Her answer was: "You said you
loved me. If that had been true
