Man Still Comes
Out Second Best!

In his battle with nature, man still comes out
second best many times. Ice on the wings of
airplanes, storms at sea, epidemics that seem to
rise out of nowhere, tropical jungles that stop
man in his tracks and harbor horrible fevers,
droughts and crop-failures, mists and fogs, arid
deserts, and countless others of nature's ob-
stacles still baffle man.

In all mortal planning and effort crop up little
inconsistencies, that, if ignored, grow to propor-
tions that overwhelm. us. It is our duty as
sincere beings to watch out for the little things
and keep them from becoming dangerous to our
welfare. In these days the sensible thing is to
start with health matters. Watch for nature's
warning: fatigue, pain, nervousness, indigestion,
constipation, lack qf appetite, listlessness, irrit-
ability, fever, or chills.

Don't ignore such signs. There is only one thing
to do: see your doctor without delay. Prompt
attention and examination can usually show
your physician how he can treat your illness
quickly and effectively. If medication is neces-
sary prompt attention usually means a short
course of medicine. Anyway you look at it you
save time, money, and discomfort by going to
your doctor at the first sign of illness.

Sam's prescription service operates on the
principle of looking after the little things, too.
Guess-work is left out, accuracy is the watch-
word. Economy goes- hand in hand with ef-
ficiency; that is why you can save money on
Sam's outstanding prescription work.
