G., or Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, Apothecary, 14 South Main St. The 01 J Year bat drawn to ror, and with the beginning of the New Year we wish to thank the public for their patronage and recognition of our eSbrtt to do our Ml duty. We are fully corn sciout that It it to them that we owe the unexpected succcst of the patt year, in which our business has been more than doubled, and we can only regard it as a new evidence that our business maxims ate such as to cause our customers to have confidence in us and attract those who are cautious ia dealing with any Pharmacist until they have become fully assured of the nature and extent of his business principles. In out dealing with the public we realise that tbe most scru pulous care and honesty are paramount in importance. If these are virtues in all ordinary business transactions, they become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and without them no one can be a true Phar macist. The health, maybe the Be, 01 those di aling with the Apothecary de pends upon them. We consider it our most sacred duty to shun adulterations and spoiled as well as inferior drugs. They constitute an evil from which Phar macy suffers no less than tbe public. Tbe evil is not a new one, inaugurated in late years; it has existed as long as there were men whose cupidity was stronger than their sense of justice, and it will doubtless continue as long as there may be men with conceptions of business so vague that they expect to purchase gold for the money value of dross. There are no other moral principles required for transacting a Pharmaceutical business than are necessary for any other business. Unwavering integrity that remains unin fluenced by the visions of gold along tbe road of questionable or deceitful prac tices is the only foundation for success that is worthy the name; it is so in every pursuit, and more particularly in Pharmacy, where as a matter of neces sity it must be combined with constant vigilance in all directions, so as to secure all possible safeguards. These are the principles which we have endeavored to live up to, and to which we trust our increasing success is due. We hope our former pattons will show tbe same kindness towatd us in the fu ture that they have in the past, knowing thnt no action ot ours will ever make them regret a continuance oi their fa vors.
