Fountain Drug

 

New Drug Store

 

Watertown Chronicle, 06 30 1847

 

Messrs. Fountain & Co. will open a drug store in this village about the first of August next.  If medicine will prevent it, we see not why the inhabitants of the Upper Rock River Country need in the future shake with the ague, or be troubled with any of the other “ills to which flesh is heir;" for in addition to the facilities about to be offered them to obtain that article, Mr. Johnson, one of the oldest druggists in the country, constantly keeps a good supply on hand.
