THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTWhen we consider the great number of mishaps that have taken place from ignorance, carelessness and want of experience in compounding prescriptions and medicines, it is a matter of congratulation to point out to the citizens of this section of New York a pharmacy where the high character of its management renders such mistakes impossible. Such a one is that of Messrs. Griffith & Co.. No. 146 [a.a.o.: 149] Second Avenue and No. 2241 Third Avenue, which was established in 1863, and since its inception at that date has obtained a liberal and influential patronage from all classes of citizens. The firm has likewise branch establishments at No. 53 Centre Street, No. 25 Sycamore Street, and Nos. 1 and 3 Race Street, Oil City, Pa. The individual members of this co-partnership are Messrs. A. R. and A. D. Griffith, who are thoroughly educated druggists, and have achieved an enviable reputation for their pharmaceutical specialties, among which is their unrivalled "Compound Mixture of Guaiac, Stillingia, etc." This mixture contains in a pleasant and agreeable form guaiac, stillingia, prickly ash, turkey corn, black cohosh, and many other of the well known remedies tor inflammatory, muscular and chronic rheumatism, affording relief in from twelve to twenty-four hours, while at the same time it acts as a powerful alterative and blood purifier. The premises occupied are spacious, convenient and elegant, and contain a large and varied stock of the finest drugs and chemicals, proprietary medicines of acknowledged merit and reputation, fancy toilet articles, perfumery, mineral waters, both of domestic and foreign manufacture, and indeed every article that may be rightly thought of in a first-class pharmacy. There is no department of the drug business so important as the careful, conscientious and intelligent compounding of physicians' prescriptions and family recipes, and this branch holds a paramount position at this establishment. All modern appliances to secure accuracy have been provided, and no one more fully appreciates the responsibility that rests upon them than Messrs. Griffith when preparing prescriptions.
