THE JOYS OF SULPHOZONE
A Living Testimonial

Adairsvilie, Ga., August 11,1906.
The Hightower Drug Co.,
Dalton, Georgia:
Dear Sirs: My wife has been afflicted with what the
doctors pronounced catarrh of the bowels.
For the years she suffered desperately and in August, 190f,
the doctors gave her up to die with catarrh of the bowels. Having
bought a bill of Sulphozone trom your drummer, 1 got her to taking
the Sulphozone and it greatly improved her health, and I am sure
it has PRESERVED HER LIFE and she is still living and enjoying
good health.
Yours very gratefully,
E. N. McCURRY.

SMOKE NUISANCE WILL BE
ABATED BY COPPER CO.
Tennessee Copper Company Will
Convert Fumes Intt^Sulphuric
Acid and Long Standing
Nuisance Will Be
Rid of.
If the present plans of the
T'nnessee Copper company are
c(tried out, it is believed that
the northern portion of the state,
and especially the region of the
Duck town mining district, will
be rid to a great extent of the
disastrous effects to timber and
vegetation caused by the sulphur
fumes used in the manufacture
of copper from ores. At the
same time a new manufacture of
sulphuric acid will be made,
which will largely curtail the
importation of ore and pyrites
into the United states.
Assistant State Geologist S. W.
McCallle, who has been inspect¬
ing the brown iron ores of the
northern part of the state, has
recently returned from the Duck
town district, and made an inter¬
esting report.
According to the assistant state
geologist, the Tennessee Copper
company has begun the erection
of a mammoth plant, which will
be used for manufacturing the
sulphur fumes into sulphuricacid.
This will prevent the fumes from
escaping and destroying vegeta¬
tion, and at the same time will
lesult in the production of an
acid worth in the neighborhood
of $20,000 dailv.
The output of the Tennessee
Copper company daily is 2,400
tons of ore. Thirty-five percent,
of this production is sulphuric
fumes, which are devastating the
country for miles around. These
eigiit hundred tons of sulphuric
fumes can be converted into 2,400
tons of sulphuric acid which has
a daily value of something like
$20,000, which is more than the
company at present realizes on
its productions.
The sulphuric acid can readily
lie made from the ores and pyri¬
tes, which is used by the compa
ny. Over $6,000,000 worth of
ores and pyrites are imported
into the United States yearly for
the manufacture of sulphuric
acid.
The sulphuric fumes which at
present escape from the plant of
the Tennessee Copper company
are causing untold damage. The
suit brought by the state of Geor¬
to prevent the company from
allowing the escape of the gases
is pending in the United States
supreme court.
Speaking of the devastation,
Professor McCallie says that the
injury has become more manifest
than ever before:
; 4 I visited the Ducktown min¬
ing district three years ago,”
said Professor McCuliie, “but
the injuries at that time were
small compared to the devasta¬
tion at present.
“Where the former injury was
confined only to a radius of two
miles, it has now spread for
twenty-five miles. As far south
as Ellijay the injurious effects
can be seen. The timber is
badly ruined in a number of sec¬
tions.
“The tall chimney, 325 feet in
height, which was built by the
company to carry off the gases,
appears to have made matters
worse. The fumes are carried up
a certain height, which enables
them, being heavier than the at¬
mosphere, to settle over tee sur¬
rounding country for at least
twenty-five miles. With favora¬
ble atmospheric conditions, and
a wind of six or twelve miles, 1
believe that it is possible for the
fumes to reach as far south as
Atlanta.
“I also found that where the
damage had been formerly the
greatest in the immediate vicin
ity of the plants, the crops there
are snmewhat better, owing to
the fact that the fumes are now
Wily carried miles away before they
settle to the earth and
