Haven't you found this 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 big flour companies employ chemists to see that their flours are kept to @ 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 only 100 et cent. pure, but that their strength is as-unvary- ing aa the daily round of the sun. ; _ORMES LIMITED The Pioneer Druggists - Prince R oe be ie gt Ba Py re F, .
