sorry lo see 1 lint the people of

and climate, there is not a more
favorable section in the union for
profitable Iruit farming. Witli the
exception of a few tropical fruits,
there is scarcely any kind ol Iruit
that cannot lie raised here if prop
erly cultivated. iWliilc within the
past few years a few farmers have
given Iruit raising more attention,
ihero has been comparatively little
interest taken in the matter, and
nothing like a concerted effort has
been made. We hope the success
which has attended the elforts ol
the farmers of middle Georgia to
make fruit raising a profitable

The blood is the foundation of
lift-*, it circulates through ever)' part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are w *11
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Brown’s Iron Bitters will thor-
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi
tively not injurious.
