MORGUE OF DEAD BOTTLES.
Criticises People Who I * avi
Medicines Uncalled For.
The woman left the prescription and
said she -would call for the medicine in
half an hour.
'Til bet ? 5 she won't , " said the clerk.
"She just looks like the kind that , gets
medicine put up for the fun of the
thing. "
"I didn't know there was anybody
foolish enough to take their fun that
way , " remarked the next customer.
"Oh , yes , there are such people lota
of them , " said the clerk. "Seldom a
week passes that we do not put up a
prescription that Is never called for.
Why in the world the people who thus
neglect their remedies after ordering
them compounded will go to the trou
ble and expense of consulting a doctor
Is more than I can figure out. If they
don't want to take the stuff prescribed
they certainly don't have to , but they
might at least have the grace to come
and take it home after we have gone
to the trouble to prepare it , and not
throw it back a dead loss on our hands.
Why , I've got a regular morgue back
there for the repose of uncalled-for bottles
tles of medicine. I keep the stuff in
definitely , hoping that in case the cus
tomer has not been carried off by sud
den death she will show up again some

"Most of these nuisances in the drug
business are women , and many of
their prescriptions have been written
by out-of-town doctors several months ,
or , in some cases years ago. In such
cases the customer probably has no in
tention of coming back for tbe medi
cine , but merely wishes it compounded
through some freakish fancy. In order
to guard against loss through such
crazy whims we ought by rights to de
mand a deposit on all prescriptions to
be called for later on , but such an in
novation would undoubtedly bring out
a mighty howl , and we have never had
; he courage to suggest it. " New York
