Everything glatt said, plus more on this:

The druggist is a jerk for not providing it for a more reasonable price, and could quite possible be run out of town for being so selfish.

Heinz has every right to make the run-out-of-town threat real by explaining to everyone he knows how the druggist is refusing his (their loaned) money, and generally being a jerk.
Also, Heinz's punishment for the theft should fit the crime--since he's presumably already administered the drug and can't give it back, the punishment should be something along the lines of 'pay for it' (which Heinz already attempted to do, being willing to pay the other $1000 as soon as he could get it) and some additional deterrent, as determined to be appropriate by a jury of his peers (and not the druggist.) It goes without saying for me that the punishment should not be as bad as a dead wife.
