URGENT DISPENSARY CLOSED
♦ MASTERTON CHEMISTS’ SHOPS TO OPEN. Masterton residents are reminded that as from this evening, the Urgent Dispensary will cease to operate. Instead, the chemists of Masterton have decided on a weekly rotation system of observing evening and Sunday hours in their respective pharmacies. This decision has been made, partly on account of the cost involved in maintaining a separate dispensary for af-ter-hours necessities, and partly because the chemists realise from experience that the wide and changing demand for up-to-date medicine can be catered for better from their own large stocks. This system, although new to Masterton, has operated successfully for many years in numerous other centres.
This week Mr W. H. Snowsill (Wood’s Pharmacy) will be in attendance and next week Mr W. J. Campbell’s Pharmacy and so on, each chemist taking his turn. As a further reminder all chemists will advertise prominently on their doors and windows the pharmacy which will be open for dispensing urgent prescriptions.
