WISH to notify that, following the 1 example of tbo Urocer?, Drapers, and othar .-Traders, and !o moot the very limited capacity of the public forspending m noy, I have made a thorough revision of my prices,- nnd although the new Cus- toms Tariff impoFosa duty of nearly 27 per ctnt on patent medicines, I have decided to adh-re to the old prices as far as possible. DRUGS In daily use, as Cod Liver Oil. Glycerin Linseed- Meal, etc., I have bought largol and am selling at one-half the pric charged by mj predecessor, and for every article my prico for the jßnest quality will be found as low, and geuerally lower, than it can be purchased elsewhere. < DISPENSING Is done with the greatest care, and with Drugs selected-for the purpose, and m no else does my charge for medicines exceed the prices now current m any establish- ment m town . VETERINARY™ MEDICINES Are still prepared from my original recipes. Testimonials as to their value have been freely given me by Livery Stablefeeepers, Farmerß, Dealers, from Mr John Grigg, and other well known breeders. As my experience was gained m a largo veterin- ary establishment, with a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and not solely from books, my medicines and advice may be relied on.
