Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 85 Procter´s whom he called Colton, and who at that time was a prominent pharmacist on Broadway. The pharmacist, having occasion to replenish his stock of cantharides and finding that the wholesale druggist with whom he usually dealt had none, went to another wholesale druggist whom the narrator named Haswell. When Colton entered the extensive establishment the following dialogue ensued: Colton: "I am introduced that yon have powdered cantharides of good quality, and I am desirous of getting some that are reliable." Haswell: "O, certainly! You will find none better. We had the powder made expressly for our sales from selected flies." Colton: "I am particular in providing this drug, as you know how much depends on its efficient and prompt action." Haswell: "You may rely on our article as in good condition." Here the conversation closed; Colton gave his order and left the store. Some weeks after while he was engaged at his counter, Haswell walked in, evidently under some nervous excitement, and the following occured: Colton: "Good morning, Mr. Haswell, can I serve you to-day?" Haswell: "A member of my family has been taken suddenly ill; her physician, among other treatment, has prescribed a blister, and I have come out of my way, believing from your well-earned reputation that we may rely on your cerate, and much depends on the rapid action of the plaster." Colton: "I have always been careful in preparing this cerate from good flies and, fortunately, in this instance I have your own testimony, in addition, in their favor." Haswell, who had till that moment forgotten the first transaction, quickly replied: "But, sir! Are you sure those flies were active? Have you tried them?" Colton: "You said they were when you sold them to me." Haswell: But, my dear sir, this blister is for my daughter! Don´t you understand? For my only daughter! Can I rely on it?" Colton: "For your daughter! And so my cerate is for every other man´s daughter who deals with me and may need it, and who is as dear to his affection as yours is to you. When I purchased those flies from you, it was your reiterated assurance of their reliability which chiefly induced me to take them, but now I perceive that your language had no real value and was given in the spirit of a huckster. I trust, sir, that this incident will be of use in your future transactions; and for your present comfort I may assure you that your flies were found to be efficient before they were dispensed."
