When you see this Trade Mark on any Medicinal or Toilet Preparation you purciiasc, it is an assurance to you that every ingredient entering into tlmt preparation is of the highest quality that money can procure. What is even more important, it is an assurance that these ingredients have been compounded, according to the best formulcc known, by expert chemists of long oxpcri:nce, in the employ of one of the largest wiiolesale drug firius in the woild, the National Drug and t'hrniical Company of Canada. As you have probably noticed, " NA-DRU-CO " is made up of the first parts of the words "Nilional Drug Company". 1 1 is pronounced "NA-DSOO-tCO", â- with the accent on the second syllable. What the Laws Say For the protection of the public the law of each I'rovince in Canada slates that only thoroughly qualilicd men are allowed to disiH-nse prescriptions â€" these men Ixing physicians or giaduatcs of recognized 0)lle(;cs of Pharmacy. The logivTil conclusion is that as the laws are made by the representatives of the jK-ople, the people want protection, and siiouUl welcome the opportunity of being ah!e to priK'ure in any part of Canada the NA-DKU-CO line of me- dicin::! and toilet preparations, com- pounded by expert chemists from the purest and best ingredients, and guar- anteed ly a firm uf our standing. Wlien you see the NA-DRU-CO Trade Mark yon have this opportunity and l!ie guarantee for which you are looking. Source of the NA-DRU-CO Formulae The National Drug and Chemical Company of Canada, Limited, ac- quired the businesses and maintains the honorable traditions of 21 of the principal wholesale Drug Houses in Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver. W\ of these tirnis liad long and suc- cessful careers, some of them lifty to one hundred years, and during their existence they had accumulated a splendid lot of formuli which all lie- came the pro[Hrty of the " National." After giving tin ,sc formulae careful stu- dy aud praciicjl ie?,ts for several years we liavc now brought out, based on them, the NA-DRU-CO line of about 125 mc<licinal and toilet preparations. All the ingredients in these preparations are the best .-.nd purest that money can buy, and lluv are compounded by a staff of e.vprri chemists, each of whom ranks Iiigli iti I. is profession. We have such nnplitit confidence in NA-DiUf-CO Preparations that we offer ihctn wiih A Four-Fold Guarantee The First Guarantee Is the firm behind the NA-DRU-CO Tra.le Mark. The National Drug and Chemical Company of Canada, Limited, is one of the lar^isi » holesale drug firms in the •world, having a Paid-up Capital of /rvcr rive Million Dollars. We have - wholesale Ijranches in the principal distriliiumg centres in Canada so that you can at all times satisfy yourself that th.re is such a firm. We are the largest buyers of drugs and do tlie CTcatrr [)art of the whole.sale drug business rn Canada. We employ a staff of about nine hundred people and distri- bute in s;iljrics, dividends and other expenses over One Million Dollars an- nually. A\'e carry a stock distributed among our branches of about Two Million Dollars, and iu addition we own real estate and buildings which are to-day worth about Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, aud other large assets. The Second Guarantee of NA-DRU-CO quality is Uie NA- DRU-CO Trade Mark itself. We know that the quality of the first NA-DRU-CO preparation you buy will practically decide whether you become a regular user of NA-DRU-CO articles or notâ€" and for that trial you may se- lect any one of the 125 preparations. So we must make each NA-DRU-CO article of the very highest quality or risk the reputation and sales of the whole line. The Third Guarantee of NA-DRU-CO quality is the fact tliat NA-DRU-CO preparations are never, at any time or in any i>lace, sold at cut prices. NA-DRU-CO preparations are so much better than the preparations whose prices arecut that discerning peo- ple prefer to pay full prices for the NA- DRU-CO goods. The Fourth Guarantee of N.VDRU-CO quality is short and very much to the point. If after try- ing any article bearing the NA-DRO- CO Trade Mark you are not entirely satisfied, return it to the druggist from whom you bought it and he will hand back your money. Consult Your Physician NA-DRU-CO medicinal preparations are not intended to lake the place of yotif physician's prestTiptions â€" far from it. When you are ill you need the physi- cian's skilful diaj;nosis and treatment; and it would be folly to depend on your own di.i^nosis and any household remedy. But in emergencies when you cannot get the doctor f|uickly, and in many other cases, a reUable iiouschold remedy is a real blessing. To put the absolute reliability of NA- DRU-CO preparations beyond doubt or question, we are prepared to furnish to your physician •: your druggist, on request, a list of the ingredients in any NA-DRU-CO preparation. Ask these men, who are raen •> standing in yaur community, and in whom you placa implicit confidence, all abotit NA-DRU- CO remedies. If your druggist has not the parti- cular NADKir-C() preparation you ask for in stock, he can get it for you within two days from our nearest wholesale branch. Write for the iqio NA-DRU-CO Almanac, giving a list of NA-DRU-CO artic'es and prices, with other useful information.
