    Canadian Pharmacies Offer Deal to U.S. Druggists
      Seeking to forge ties with health professionals on U.S. soil, some
    Canadian Internet pharmacies are offering American pharmacists a sweet deal.

    Druggists in the U.S. who agree to refer prescriptions to their Canadian
    counterparts are being promised a handsome cut, sometimes 5 percent to
    10 percent of the price of each prescription, experts say. That's often
    more than the nation's independent pharmacists pocket, after expenses,
    when they fill the prescriptions themselves.
