Reviews of Books and Periodicals. An album of the Atank Nigrah Pharmacy and its all, 1928.
This beautiful album which has gone through the 3rd edition bears excellent testimony to what even a single soul through self-exertion, honest labour and single minded devotion to a purpose can achieve in due course of time. The reasons for the development of the Pharmacy from a small room into a worldfamous institution within half a century are not far to seek. The excellent quality of the medicines, their curing powers and their cheapness are too well known. Vaidya Sastri Manishankar Govindji was truly a great benefactor of mankind. We wish his successors the present proprietors of the Pharmacy allisuccess and increasing prosperity. The album is printed on very fine art paper and contains the photos of the Head office, the various Branch offices, buildings of the Proprietor, of the staff engaged at the Head office and at the various branches,
