No druggist has ever been able to sell for less than he paid with
out going into bankruptcy. No man ever conducted a drug stoic
just for fun and nothing else. Our prices are always as small a i
can be afforded. Nearly always they are the smallest lo be found
in Laurcns. If it happens that lower prices arc ollered somewhere
else, you may depend upon it that the cpaality is lowest.
