Haven’t you found this to be trus--that one batch of :flour will. J
give you certain results but that the next time you bought the

same brand your results would be quite different,

Now, the

big flour companies employ chemists to see. that. their flours
are kept: to a constant standard. Drugs, like flours, may be
thoroughly pure but of a variable standard, Think. what this

means in the effectiveness of yo

Ormes buy their drugs only from manufacturers

who guarantee that their products are not only 100
