At one time, Dr. J.B. Jacobs, Dr. D.D. Northrop and Dr. P.L. Bradford practiced medicine from The Lansdale Clinic at 202 S. Broad St. in Lansdale.
The clinic may be long gone, but eBay member bottledigger1072 is selling a remnant from its past — an apothecary bag, complete with empty medicine vials with powder residue and paper labels.
According to the description, the case is intact and closes securely; the sides of the bag are missing stitching. The vials contain labels reading "The Lansdale Clinic" and there are empty spots in the case where vials are missing.
Asking price is $49.99.

I like that the Patch is trying new things like these eBay posts. I have given up even looking at the Reporter's hideous site and now only come here for local news.

I agree. The Distorter is the biggest piece of Crap ever inked on paper. Especially the Editorial Section. The Sound Off column posts comments supposedly from letters but no name of the contributor. No Creditability. A Fox News Wannabee.
