Frederick Stearns & Co., Manufacturing Pharmacists,

ESTABLISHED THIRTY YEARS. 
We have a thoroughly equipped Laboratory— the Largest Of its kind in the 'World 
— with a line of Pharmaceutical Products not surpassed for excellence in any country, which 
we furnish at close nett prices, based upon a reasonable equivalent for our labour and great 
special advantages. 
Our Pharmaceutical Works include all classes of products in use, and the assortment in 
each is very large. 
All the New American Drugs, the Rare and New Foreign Drugs, the Rare and Newly Discovered 
Alkaloids or Active Principles and their Preparations. 
The Products of the Works comprise a full line of Pharmaceutical Products, as 
illustrated in Catalogue 33, covering 20,000 items, among which the most important

Aside from these, as is well known, we are the originators and introducers of the Popular 
Non-Secret Medicines, Toilet and Domestic Articles. These we introduced in 1876 
to a retail drug public, long suffering under the intolerable nuisance of an enforced trade in 
secret and quack nostrums, replacing such with good prescriptions, well adapted to popular uses, 
for slight ailments, which, without being claimed as specifics, thoroughly meet these necessities, 
without any secrecy or quackery therein — these, too, in generous sizes, and at fair retail prices, 
in handsome dress, with full directions and uses — the phraseology used upon labels, circulars, 
and wrappers being carefully freed from any words claiming specific value or value as cure-alls. 
These Goods, from a small list of only twelve items in 1876, are now extended to a list of 
over 800 items, described, illustrated, and priced in the New Catalogue, No. 84, 76 Pages, 
102 Engravings- These Catalogues, Nos. 83 and 84, are sent to all intending purchasers 
free. 
We publish an eight-page Illustrated Paper, entitled a New Idea,” monthly. . it 
is almost entirely original — is devoted to furthering the interests of the Company, and in which 
all new ideas that come to the surface are first described and illustrated. Any English speaking 
or reading retail druggist the world around, not already on our mailing list, may have the 
“New Idea” mailed to him for 1885, post paid and without any charge, upon application, 
therefor.
