Not to me. It makes no sense. If you could use it in a sentence, I might be able to help.

"To transport medicine in the best of health" means that the transporter, or the driver, is very healthy.

"Good health" is not an expression we use to describe medicine.

If you wish to convey that the medicine is delivered timely and in good condition, you could use an old-fashioned expression, "in good season," which means "on time." "In good condition" speaks for itself. Breakage and overheating must be avoided. In some cases, time may be critical.

Best wishes, A.

Actually I read it from a Newsweek mag placed by one of the world's largest couriers.

1. Would it mean that this courier company has the know-how to deal with delicate medicines for their clients?

2. Would "in the best of time" do for this sentence?

Thanks

Okay, I'm finally getting the picture. This is an advertising slogan placed in a magazine by a courier.

Advertising slogans are not supposed to make sense. They're supposed to get your attention and stick in your mind.

#1. Yes.

#2. No. Better stick with "on time." Your suggestion is not idiomatic, and evokes the the famous line from A Tale of Two Cities.

Would you also show me some other sentences that would be used with "in the best of xx"?  THX

Her father had just died, and she was not in the best of spirits. (You see that the final noun must be plural.)

These things happen in the best of families.

In the best of all possible worlds, you'd be able to find a good-paying job you really loved.

If you use singular, the "of" is usually omitted. This car is not in the best shape. Some people would use the "of," but I don't think it's correct.
