CARPENTER'S 

 CHEMICAL WAREHOUSE, 



PHILADELPHIA. 



It is an object of the highest Jmportance for a physician, to 

 obtain medicines, upon whose genuineness and purity he can al- 

 ways rely, and which are uninjured by age or exposure. 



It is unnecessary to point out the serious disadvantages which 

 practitioners of medicine labor under, in the •administration of 

 feeble or inert preparations. Their skill and judgment are sac- 

 rificed ; their talents and experience, although they may be of 

 the highest order, are brought down to the level of the least in- 

 telligent of the profession ; nay more, they are often rendered 

 unsuccessful in the treatment of cases which would have speed- 

 ily yielded to the salutary influences of pure medicines. 



Philadelphia has long been justly celebrated for the talents 

 and skill of her medical men, as well as for the scientific and 

 practical knowledge of her druggists and apothecaries. The 

 standard medical works annually produced by the distinguished 

 professors of her medical colleges and by her private medical 

 gentlemen, together with her eminent medical journals are deci- 

 sive proofs of the truth of these remarks. 



With these things premised, I beg leave so far to deviate from 

 custom, as to exhibit a correct description of my new pharma- 

 ceutical and vending establishment, and of the facilities with 

 which I am enabled to supply the orders of medical men from 

 all sections of the United States. 



I have erected, on the ruins of my old stand, (lately destroyed 

 by fire,) a large and commodious four story warehouse, as repre- 

 sented in the annexed plate, and also, in rear of the same lot, a 

 laboratory for the manufacture of the vegetable extracts, proxi- 

 mate principles and finer chemical products. The store has 

 been erected, exclusively, for the object of the drug and chem- 

 ical business, and in its construction, every convenience has been 

 faithfully studied and executed for this object alone.
