HARRODS’ DISPENSING DEPARTMENT

Telephone: Western One. 80 lines.

This department is under the supervision of a highly-qualified Chemist, holding the Diplomas of the Pharmaceutical Society and the Fellowship of the Chemical Society, assisted by a Staff of Qualified Dispensers. All prescriptions are dispensed with the utmost care and accuracy, and all medicines are twice checked before being sent to the customer.

The charges for dispensing are 25 per cent. lower than the usual retail prices, thus combining economy with efficiency.

It is advisable that orders for this department should be sent so as to arrive as early in the day as possible, as the time required for dispensing varies considerably according to the nature of the compound and to the number on hand.

Upon every description dispensed, as also on each label, and on the envelope returned with the medicine, will be found a number and letters, which refer to an exact copy in the Prescription Books, therefore when a repetition is required it is only necessary to quote this number.

When Medicines are ordered in other than the sender’s name, the original name on the prescription should be quoted.

Medicines are sent to the Country Carriage Paid to Destination.
