Last Friday Mr. Tigho had so far re
covered that tho attending physician
allowed, him to sit up, as nil woro
certain tho danger point had been
passed. Unfortunately ho took a re
lapse Friday evening, and ho con
tinued to grow worse until the spirit
took Its flight.
Charley Tlghe was a splendid young
man whom North Platte can ill afford
to lose, for it Is on such ns ho that
the future wolfaro of tho city de

Who Fills Your Prescriptions?
inss and big outlets, we are able to maintain all the drugs
prescribed by doctors, stocks are kept constantly moving,
resulting in absolute freshness and quality, and we permit
no substitution. Last but not least, the prescription is
filled by a Itegislored Gradnnto Pharmacist.
A prescription bearing the Gununere-Doiit label indi
cates that it has been filled exactly as the Doctor wrote it.
Try us.
How important is your- inscription? The health of
the patient and success of tli physician depends largely
upon who fills your prescription. If the drugs used are not
fresh and full strength; if 1 1 druggist does not carry a
full line and has to substitute; if the man who fills tho pre
scription is not thoroughly exoerienced and capable, re
sulting in improper compounding, then the patient will not
derive the full benefit no matter how competent the at
tending physician.
