Consumption
There is no specific for
consumption. Fresh air, ex
ercise, nourishing food and
Scott's Emulsion will come
pretty near curing it, if there
is anything to build on. Mil
lions of people throughout the
world are living and in good
health on one lung.
Cj From time immemorial the
doctors prescribed cod liver
oil for consumption. Of
course the patient could not
take it in its old form, hence
it did very little good. They
can take
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
and tolerate it for a long
time. There is no oil, not
excepting butter, so easily
digested and absorbed by the
system as cod liver oil in the
form of Scott's Emulsion,
and that is the reason it is so
helpful in consumption where
its use must be continuous.
J We will send you a
sample free.
Be sure that this
! icture in the form of
a label is on the wrap- Jr7~\
per of every bottle of J
hmuhion you buy. m

1 TO THE TOBACCO GROWERS OF STOKES ( Ol XTY :
l
This is a free country and you have a right to haul your tobacco to Richmond if you choose to do so.
But why haul it so far, when by hauling only 10 to 25 miles and by selling with me you can got just as
" much money for any grade of tobacco as you can get on any market in the I nited States, and run no risk
of being run over by trains, street cars, automobiles, etc. We have established this market here as much
for your benefit as our own and surely you are men of too much sense to bo misled by the thousands of
' letters that are being sent out to prejudice you asjainst this market. The question for you to decide is
" whether you had rather haul your tobacco 35 to 50 miles iu preference to hauling 10 to 2a miles for the
same amount of money. I tell you plainly lamin a position to iret you as much for your tobacco as any
market in the world. If it was not so I would not tell you so. We have orders at Madison for the big.
' ijest manufacturers in the world who want your tobacco and want it bad and I never go to sleep when 1
I am selling your tobacco. We are selliug for hundreds of people who have just sold on other markets and
[ without exception claim our market is up to any of them. We are adding fifty new stalls under our
warehouse for the comfort of your stock.
Come and give me a trial —I will do the rest.
Remember IJdoJnotVequire yon to bring any letter written by mo to insure good prices.
