(By Arrangement.) A MODERN PHARMACY.

Xapier claims to have tho finest and best equipped pharmacy in the Dominion. This claim cannot be denied—situated in a.three-story building in the busiest part nf Hasting Street, next to the Jtasonic Hotel—it is quite a land-mark in the business portion of the town. The pharmacy is furnished with good taste, the laboratories and dispensing rooms aro equipped with tho latest features of an up-to-date dispensing and manufacturing establishment. and tho stock-rooms and cellar arc filled with everything that is required in a modern pharmacy. A large staff of chemists is employed to deal with the big voiumo of business that is transacted here. Known under the namo of Ration and Tristram, this pharmacy is owned by Mr. A. Hobson, who is president of the Now Zealand Pharmacy Board, and one of the examiners in dispensing at the Board's examination?. It can, therefore, be readily understood that tho dispensing of doctors' prescriptions is in good hands. Several well-known proprietaries aro manufactured by this firm, one of which, a delightfully pleasant dentifrice named "Pearloid," is an acknowledged favourite. The practice of preserving eggs, now so general, has crcatcd quite a demand for preservatives—one of the most reliable of these is Ovauova. This is prepared and bottled by llatjen and Tristram, who distribute to merchants and storekeepers hundreds of dozens during the season when eggs are most plentiful. This short article will serve to five somo idea of the size and progressiveness of this well-known business, and visitors io Napier should not miss the opportunity of calling and inspecting this unique anil modern pharmacy.
