READ THIS ABOUT
ATHLETE’S FOOT
The writer of this ad had ath
lete’s foot several years ago. Was
miserable with the pain of burn
ing and swelling. One bottle of
T-4-L Solution cleared it up. Now
I keep it on hand to use only
when my toes begin to itch. Have
never had the disease again. 1
can’t promise that you who have
athlete’s foot will get my results
but there is a mighty fine chance.
In fact, the makers of T-4-L have
built a nice business on that
chance. Their records show that
repeat sales are far in the ma
jority. T-4-L is especially made
for, and is advertised only for
athlete’s foot, even tho’ it is good
for similar itches. Just give it a
try. Your 40c back at any drug
store if not completely pleased.
Today at Campbell’s Drug Store.
Indians Brought
First Tobacco'to
Colonial America
To the American Indian goes
credit for introducing one of the
nation’s most widely used luxury
commodities—tobacco.
The exact origin of tobacco
will probably never be known,
but it is believed that the leaf
common in southern tobacco—
growing areas today originated
in Brazil.
According to the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, the
first colonists in America would
have little to do with Indian to
bacco for they favored the more
aromatic and milder varieties
of the weed grown in the tropi
cal countries.
The Red Man soon discovered
that the variety of tobacco
grown in South America and
improved by the white man was
superior to his own—and even
tually, the weed even became an
article of trade between the In
dian and the white settlers —
with the latter on the bargain
ing end.
Tobacco was being raised com
merically around 1580 in Cuba
and Venezuela and was intro
duced to China, Japan, South
Africa, and other distant lands
by mariners and trades.
Once it caught on in distant
lands, the leaf became a major
item of trade in international
commerce. It was received en
thusiastically in some countries
because it was believed to con
tain medicinal qualities.
