Toilet and Medicinal Preparations Are Compounded by Expert Chemists Who Compounds Your Medicines? When your physician gives you a prescription you would scarcely risk having it compounded by a grocer or a baker, even if you were sure they lad the right drugs. You insist on your druggist's skilful de peusiug. If sou did not protect yourself in this way the laws of the country would protect you, fur they demand that physicians' prescriptions be dispensed by physicians or qualified druggists only. Is it not equally important to know that the house- hold remedies, such as laxatives, cough syrups and tonics, and the toilet preparations such as tooth paste, which you use so frequently, are also compounded by expert chemists? When you use NA -DRU -CO medicinal or t,ilet preparations you have the positive guarantee of one of the largest wholesale drug firms in the world, the National !)rug and Chemical Company of Canada, Limited, that each one has been compounded by expert chemists only. This is just where NA -DRU -CO Cascara Laxatives. NA -DRU -CO Liquorice, Linseed, and Chlorodyne Cough Syrup, NA -DRU -CO Tasteless Cod Liver Oil Compound and everything else on the NA -DRU -CO list are pre-eminently better than mixtures at present flooding the market. They are compounded by men who know. Some NA -DRU -CO Camphor Ice Greaseless Toilet Cream Talcum Powder Tooth Paste Toth Powder Baby's Tablets Carbolic Salve Cascara Laxatives (Tablets% Cod Liver Oil Compound, Tasteless (2 Sizes) NA -DRU -CO Formulae, Ingredients and Compounding Are Best Your own druggist could not be more careful cr more accurate in compounding one of your physicians prescriptious than are our chemists in compounding every NA -DRU -CO pre•psration. Add to this the facts that only the best and purest materials that money can buy are used in NA-1)RV-Cl) articles, and that each NA -DRi' -CU formula has been thoroughly tested in actual use, and you have the solid );rounds for the implicit confidence we want you to feel to NA-L)RU-CO preparations. We are prepared to furnish to any physician or druggist in Canada, on request. a full list of the ingredients in any NA -DRU -CO article. Ask these men, who are sten of standing in your community, and best qualified to tell you, all about NA -DRi' -CO preparations. If any NA•DRU-CO article you buy does not prove entirely satisfactory return it to your druggist. l le has our authority to refund the full purchase price and charge it to us. You can get any NA -DRi` -CO preparation any- where in Canada, for if your druggist should not have it in stock he can get it within two days (ruin our nearest wholesale branch.
