Mh hhT f) "All Things Are Changed, And We Change With Them" ^ '(Author's Name Below) In recent years there has been a great change in the practice of medicine and pharmacy. To keep pace with this change we pharmacists are continuously studying the drug and medical journals. As soon as a new drug is released we not only stock it, but learn all about its dosage,, action, proper compounding, and preservation. That is why we are prepared to compound any prescription, prescribed by any physician, no matter how distant, ex- . actly as he specifies. kJ YOUR PHYSICIAN CAN PHONE WHEN YOU NEED A MEDICINE Pick up your prescription if shopping near us, or let us deliver promptly without, extra charge. A great many people entrust us with the responsibility of filling their prescriptions. May we compound yours? NYE DRUGS "h/aiptmrnn /Jfmtep" PHONE 26 129 N. Riverside Dr. MCHenry, 111.
