MISCELLANEOUS.
J. S. GRANT. Ph. G.,
Of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy,
Apothecary, 14 South Main St.
The 0IJ Yvnr has drawn to a close,
ami with the beginning of the Sew Year
we wish to thank the public for their
putroimge and recognition of our efforts
to do our full duty. We are fully con
scious that it is to them that we owe the
unexfiected success of the past year, in
which our busiiwss 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 in dealing with any
I'hurmacist until they hare become fully
assured of the nature ami extent of his
business principles. In out dealing with
the public we realise that the most scru
pulous cure 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 ran be a true Phar
macol. The health, maybe the tile, ot
those dealing with the Apothecary de
pends upon them. He consider it our
most sacred duty to shun adulterations
and spoiled as well as inferior drugs.
They constitute an evil from which Phar
macy sutlers no less than the public. The
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
Ite men with conceptions of business so
vague that they expect to purchase gold
for the money value of dross. There art
no other moral principles required for
transacting a Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary for any other business.
I "nwavering integrity that remains unin
fluenced by the visions of gold along the
road of questionable or deceitM prac
tices is the only foundation for success
thnt is worthy the name; it is so in
even- pursuit, and more particularly in
Pharmacy, where as a matter of neces
sity it must lie 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
the same kindness ton aid us in the fu
ture that they have in the past, knowing
that no action ol ours will ever make
them regret a continuance ol their fa
vors. Yours truly,
J. S. GRA.XT.rh. C., Pharmacist,
24 S. Main St., Asheville, .V. C".
