reliable prescription druggist, 123 Harvard Street, Dorchester.
F M. Loring, the well-known prescription druggist at No. 123 Harvard, Street, Dorchester, established his business eighteen years ago, at its present location, and his store has long been looked upon as a land mark in the locality. The salesroom is large and handsomely appointed, having a floor of rich mosaic tiling, massive mahogany fixtures, ornamently carved, large plate glass show cases and an elaborate soda water fountain. The stock of goods on sale in the establishment is comprehensive and attractively displayed and comports in appearance with the other appointments of the store. The stock includes pure drugs, chemicals, reliable proprietary remedies, rubber goods, sick room and hospital supplies, perfumery, tonics, liniments, plasters, confectionery, stationery, physicians’ and surgeons’ supplies, cigars, both imported and domestic, druggists’ novelties, etc. There is nothing which should have a place in a well-ordered apothecary store which cannot be obtained here. Mr. Loring makes a notable specialty of the compounding of the prescriptions of physicians and has an enviable reputation among the members of the medical fraternity in the district for his skill and accuracy in this important branch of his business. He never permits any impure drug or ingredient of a doubtful characterr to enter any of the medicine for the sick which’ are put up in his thoroughly appointed laboratory and never substitutes another drug for the one ordered by the prescription. Mr. Loring was graduated from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and is registered in Minnesota and this state. He is a member of the N. A. R. E.. and the B, A. R. D. He is also an Odd Fellow. He is assisted by his son Ralph B., a graduate in pharmacy and registeres. Mr. Loring is a member of G. A. R. post 68, Dorchester.
