We keep up with science—that’s why our jdiar- macy is equipped with modern appliances and pure drugs. In many stores “drugs are drugs” without any regard to their freshness and quality. Not so here. In order to be on our shelves drugs and chemicals have got to he strictly first quality and fresh. We would not risk our reputation by having them otherwise. If a medicine is to cure a disease it must be good medicine—the best only is good enough. Your duty to yourself is to get the very best in drugs that you •.•an find. In doing your duty to yourself we have every reason to believe you come here for your medicines.
