This question is one that every per- son should answer, especially people with families, as it is a question that sooner or later will present itself and then must be answered quickly. To our ever increasing army of pat- rons who have answered the question in our favor, it is unnecessary to dwell upon the merits of our PRESCRIP- TION DEPARTMENT, as they know from experience that our drugs, chem- icals, service, are umexcelled in any respect in this locality, and, they know that absolute dependence can be placed in every claim or promise we make, and that we are qualified to ac- cept full responsibility in any pre- scription entrusted to us.
