ContentsBuy Land in the Right Place"The workingman must build where land is cheap, and there are districts where land can be purchased, but not very near to transportation. When the workingman buys a lot and builds a home, he is making a splendid investment. We sold land in the north-west district to workingmen at $5.00 to $7.00 per foot, and while we made a profit, the workingmen in most cases could double their money on their original investment.

Croup, bronchitis, whooping cough, sore throat and chest colds soon yield to the healing, soothing influence of this great medicine. You can readily prove this, and will then understand why this treatment is so popular. |
