E. H. Brown
There is no profession which more deserves our most careful consideration than that of the chemist and druggist. The physician may successfully diagnose, but it is the chemist who administers the relief. He is the able assistant of the doctor, and his skill and science in a great measure renders the medical profession efficient.
A very popular and highly responsible drug store in Cornwall is that of E. H. Brown, who has been established here since 1882, and he enjoys the reputation of being thoroughly skilled in every detail of his calling. He has a large and well appointed store 20 x 70 feet in dimensions, on Pitt Street, where he is always on hand. A choice assortment of the purest and freshest of drugs and chemicals, also desirable and popular patent medicines, physician's supplies, perfumery, toilet articles, fancy goods, and druggist's sundries generally will be found in this establishment. He also carries a full line of spectacles and eye glasses. Having had several years' experience measuring and fitting difficult cases of eye defects, is an assurance that all who go to him for glasses will receive the very best fit that can be given them.
Special attention is given to the compounding department, physicians' prescriptions and family recipes being prepared with great reliability and despatch. Special preparations of Mr. Brown's are the Jubilee Pain Magic, for both internal and external use, which is particularly recommended for diarrhoea, cholera morbus, summer complaint, pains in the stomach and bowels, etc.; also Fragrant Rosaderma, the most elegant and delicate preparation for the skin ever invented; Brown's Family Cough and Asthma Cure; the Magic Liniment for rheumatism, neuralgia, frost bites, sprains; North American Stomach and Liver Tonic for indegestion and dyspepsia, etc.
Mr. Brown is a native born Canadian, a graduate of the College of Pharmacy and the Ontario Optical Institute of Canada. Personally, he is highly esteemed, and has held many important public positions, having been for several years a member of the Town Council, in which body he at present holds the responsible position of Chairman of the Finance Committee. Mr. Brown is also Chairman of the Public School Board, Secretary-Treasurer of the Cornwall Milling Co., and a member of the Quarterly Board of the Methodist Church. He is an enthusiastic rifleman, being one Cornwall's crack shots. [10]
