R.P.H bought the business. To­

suppositories which, according
to Podolsky, "Is not a common
practice with the larger phar­

Moreover, Podo Is ky said,

of sick room upplies." Sick
room supplies, Podolsky said,
include walker, commodes,
canes and diabetic supplies.
The pharmacy takes most major
medical insuranc plans, includ­
ing Medicare and Blue Cros .
The pharmacy pride itself on
being concerned about the gen­
