I'll tell you the easiest way. I know look for the name rexall on the label Oh, what makes you so sure of rexall's quality? Well, let's take a for instance rexall's multiple vitamin capsules call plenamins. What about them? Well, now you know that over a period of time any vitamin product will gradually lose some of its potency Yes, the doctor told me that and that's why plenamins are carefully fortified So that when you buy them you can be sure the potency is at least the amount stated on the label In fact rexall guarantees that plenamins give you more Than your daily minimum requirement of every vitamin for which such requirements have been established What did you call them plenamins? That's right, ma'am plenamins They're a sample of the quality we family druggist are talking about when we tell you You can depend on any drug product that bears the name rexall Good health to all from rexall So now that we're alone, tell me about that suitcase full of salmon. Did you really catch it yourself? Well No, I didn't. Well, where'd you get it? I wanted on hollywood calling You are tuned for the stars on mbc
