One evening net loce ago an

ine assistant couldn t let the
chance elip. He took tho pro

screen, dashed out the back door
and ran to the next drug store.
Hideous mockery of fate ! That
drug store on the next corner was

He simply couldn't lose the cus

prescription. Only two words
were on it intolliaible to him.

for it. To himself he argued that
the doctor seeing no improvement
in tho patient, would chaage

the mean time aqua pura could
not do any harm. He hadn't run
