Haven’t you found thig to be trus—that one batch of flour will

give you certain results but that the next time you bought the

same brand your results would be quite different. Now, the

hig fiour 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 your doctor’s prescreptions,

Ormes buy their drugs only from manufacturers
who guarantee that their products are not oniy 100
