Good Talcums Are Always Necessary.
HE poorest of all toilet helps is a poor talcum. We believe this
to be true although we don't sell ?.ny inferior talcum. Our line
of talcum comprises all the favorite and popular brands?some we
can particularly recommend. Some are plain, some medicated,
some deliciously perfumed. All very particularly desired for spring
and summer toilets because they protect the skin, give it a beauti?
ful appearance, and allay all skin troubles. For lady, for baby or
for gentleman, talcum is really a toilet necessity and a luxury at
the same time.
Our Reputation for Prescriptions is Good,
We desire our reputation to rest on the quality of our prescription
work. A druggist can have no higher aim than that. When you
see our label on a bottle of medicine, you can be^sure of two things
?it contains just what the doctor ordered and is prepared from the
very best drugs. That means our label is a guarantee of purity.
