FEB 8 1965, FEB 13 1966 Old Prescriptions Sought Starting Sunday, the 23 Republic Rexall drugstores in the Denver area will launch a campaign to urge the public to dispose of all old, outdated prescriptions which may be dangerous if consumed. The stores will pay a nickel for each old-labeled prescription container deposited in prescription "boneyards" at the stores. The program will be climaxed during National Poison Prevention Week March 20-26. The stores will also offer free for the asking a cardboard poison antidote wheel chart during the drive.
