Ashburton Drug Company, Ld, J. M. CAMBRIDGE. ' Pharmaceutical Chemist. I WISH to notify that, following the example of the (irocsrs, Drapers, and j other Traders, and (o meet the very limited capacity of the public forspending money, I have made a thorough revision of my prices, and although the new Cus- toms Tariff impoee3 a duty of nearly 27 per cent on patent medicines, I have decided to adhere to the old prices as far as possible, DRUGS In daily U3e, as Cod Liver Oil, Glycerine Linseed Meal, etc., I have bought largely and am selling at one-half the price charged by my predecessor, and for every article my price for the finest quality will ( be found as low, and generally lower, than it can be purchased elsewhere. DISPENSING Is done with the greatest care, and with Drugs selected for the purpose, and m no caee does my charge for medicines exceed the prices now current m any establish- ment m town. VETERINARY*" MEDICINES Are still prepared from my original reoipes. Testimonials as to their value have been freely given me by Livery Stablekeepers, Farmers, Dealers, from Mr John Grige:, and other well known breeders. As my experience was gained m a large 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.
