“ASK LOASBY ABOUT IT.”

ROOM 24, HIS MAJESTY’S ARCADE (The lift puts you down at my door). In soliciting your support let me tell you my qualifications, to prove to you that I am not an adventurer or an itinerant quack. For well over 40 years I have made a hobby of prescribing. I built up an enormous business in Christchurch by my ability to do my customers good. I sold out for the biggest goodwill ever paid in the Dominion for a chemist’s business. The Hospital Board, on January 6, wrote thanking me for the work I did during the Influenza Epidemic: “First in assisting to organise the campaign, then preparing various standard medicines in superlative quantities and later in giving your special professional knowledge in assisting members of the medical profession in visiting and prescribing for hundreds of sufferers.” Do you think the Hospital Board would send me a letter like the above if I had not proved I was competent to prescribe, and this when it was often a matter of life or death? I treat all minor ailments such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago, Stomach, Liver or Kidney Troubles, Indigestion, Fulness after Eating, Constipation, Poverty of the Blood, Nervousness. Low Spirits, Noises in the Head, Sore Legs, Varicose Ulceration, Skin Diseases, Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Catarrh—all the ailments that make life miserable yet do not confine you to bed. A. M. LOASBY, The Only Prescribing Chemist, ROOM 24, HIS MAJESTY’S ARCADE (The lift puts you down at my door). Advice and medicine (full week’s supply), 4/6, children 2/6. Country patients treated by letter. Send me full details of how you feel, enclose 8/6 for adults, 4/6 for children and I will send you post free a doublesized bottle with full instructions and advice.
