The relationship between the
apothecary and the physician is very
close. The people should ‘have
confidence in the doctor and the doc-
tor must have implicit confidence in
the druggist, for he himself is un-
able without a chemical analysis, to
determine whether’ all the ingred-
ients called for in his prescription
are contained in the compound and
if they are pure and fresh. More-
over, the druggist, in many instances
is the medium through whieh the
physician gains certain of his knowl-
edge. To be progressive he is ex-
pected to know all the mewer prep-
arations that are available, as well
as the conditions wherein they may

treatment it receives. They handle
only the best springs that money can
buy which is so designed that every
bit of the weight of the machine is
evenly distributed over the entire
spring. Their springs are worth a
dozen cheap gprings. Those points
where the greatest strain is liable to
come are made especially strong. By
this even distribution, the car rides
easier and the chance of a broken
spring is reduced to a minimum.
The reason is so many people have
spring trouble is because they do
not give them the proper attention.
The management here seeing that
they could be of great service to the
