Call ON Him...

Y OUR Doctor is carrying a
DOUBLE burden these
days. He’s not only taking care
of his own patienu, but those of
associates who are now serving
in the armed forces. His time
is precious—help him conserve
it. Instead of asking a physician
to visit your home, call on him
at his office, during regular
office bouts. Above all, be consid
erate in the matter of night calls.
And, of course, bring his pre
scriptions to this pharmacy for
