In the interior of “The Killem’ Quick Pharmacy,” an elderly man, the pharmacist, dispenses a “Bracer” to a crowd of eager consumers, while a young girl secures a bottle of “Soothing Syrup.” On the counter are bottles and packets of “Arsenic, Strychnine, Antipyrin, Nerve Stimulant, Opium, Cocaine” and “The Needle.” Signs on the wall state “Open all night” and “Prescriptions carefully compounded.” The saloon keeper leans against a column. Caption: Saloon Keeper. — The kind of drunkard I make is going out of fashion. I can’t begin to compete with this fellow.
