Your Friendly Pharmacist
By Patti Hutchison 		  
1     Your pharmacist can be a big help to you. She has gone to college for many years. She knows a lot about all kinds of drugs. Some people might call her a druggist.
 
2     A pharmacist's most important job is to fill prescriptions. These are notes from a doctor that allow you to get drugs to help you feel better.
