DRUGS In daily uoe, 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 evory 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 cirront m any establish- ment m town. yeterinabFmedicines Are still prepared from my original recipes Testimonials as to their value have been freely given me by Livery Stablekeepers, Farmers, Dealers, from Mr John Grige, and other well known breeders.
