T WISH to notify that, following the J example of the Grocers, Drapers, and other Trader.., and to meet the very limited capacity of the public forspending money, I have made a thorough revision of my priceß, ond although the new Cus- toms Tariff imposes 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 use, 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 case 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 beon freely given me by Livery Stablekoepers, Farmers, Dealers, from Mr John Grigp, 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.
