FREE TREATMENT FOR LUNG WEAKNESS. If those of our readers who reside in the most highly favored sections of this country, where the climate is healthy and invigorating, with a dry and tonic atmosphere, will look about them, they will see a greater or less number of their friends and neighbors dying of con sumption, while many others have already been carried off by that dread malady. These deaths have occurred from time to time amid the refreshing prairie breezes of summer; in the fair and mel low days of autumn, and also in the dry and sunny seasons of a southern winter. |Such deaths amid such favorable sur roundings afford positive and convinc ing proof that climate alone will not cure consumption; that neither pine laden breezes nor bracing mountain air will restore weak lungs or build up a constitution that is being undermined and broken down by the insidious germs of a fatal disease. But, on the other hand, many thou sands of testimonials from grateful peo ple all over this country, who have been cured by the Dr. Slocum System of Treatment, and are today in the enjoy ment of perfectly restored health and strength, afford the most convincing evidence that this treatment, aided by favorable climatic conditions and sur roundings, is a positive cure for Con sumption and all other chronic diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs. Therefore, those who go to the moun tains, the seashore or to southern cli mates, as well as those who already reside in such favored localities, should not fail to take the Dr. Slocum System of Treatment if they wish to derive the full benefits of favorable climatic condi tions and scientific medication. The Dr. Slocum System of Treatment (consisting of Four Preparations) is both medicine and food. The medicines usetL in it allay the cough and lung irritation, heal the soreness and subdue the pains in the throat, overcome shortness of breath, improve the appetite and diges tion, and bring comfort, rest and re freshing sleep, while its food properties are building up the constitution, enrich ing the blood and infusing the sufferer with new life and vigor. No single remedy will accomplish all this, but the Four Remedies embodied in the Dr. Slocum System of Treatment will. More than a quarter of a century has been devoted to perfecting this System of Treatment; every indication, every symptom in Consumption and other diseases of the Throat and Lungs, has been carefully studied in the devel THIS BEATS THE JEWS!

Two Prosperous Towns In Gwinnett County. No better illustration of the growth of this great county of Gwinnett can be found than in her many thriving towns. They appear to have gained a degree of prosperity that is constantly reap ing the reward of thriving indus try, and when coupled with a love for attractive surroundings in dwellings and well kept farms they are among the most inviting places of residence that can be found. The wealth and advance mei t of Gwinnett county has been marked, and in many respects she stands today at the head of the galaxy of counties that comprise the state of Georgia, Her soil produces immense wealth, and upon her broad acres are many towns that are centers of thrift and industry. Among them we name LAWRENCEYILLK. No error is committed when Lawrenceville is rauked among the progressive towns of the south, for its advantages are infeiior to none, and its future possibilities are so beautifully foreshadowed. Its citizens speak of the city as site of coming industrial en terprises, the product of which will Qnd a ready market in all the civilized countries Its institu tions of learning, churches, lovely homes, etc., are unsurpassed. To give a complete list of the many attractive features of the city would involve many hours of la bor, and these few are given that a partial insight may be obtained by those living abroad. As a place of residence Lawrenceville offers all the advantages of health, climate, laws, schools, churches, morality, socsety, public conven iences. The citizens are law-abid ing and peaceful, and are ready to encourage in a substantial way any worth}’ enterprise which is backed by men of money and ex perience. As a place of trade Lawrenceville commends itself most forcibly to the inhabitants of the surrounding country. It offers a good market for cotton, corn, fruit and other staples. Lawrenceville is a healthy, pretty and progressive place, and its bus iness men of the order that builds up a town. They are of an agress ive spirit, and do not confine their business operations to the inhabi tants of Lawrenceville and vicini ty, but attract a trade many miles from the town. Some of the larg est and best stocked stores in the state can be seen here, and the magnitude and quality of their stocks would at a glance attract the visitor. StWASEE. In this progressive age the pros pects for a town for the future are due in a great measure to the en terprise of business interests, and in this issue we wish to present a view of all such. The business houses of Suwanee are as a rule intelligently directed and admir ably equipped; progress and growth having marked the course of each on account of their facili ties being as perfect and complete as they can be made anywhere. Everything in and about the town indicates and gives assurance of a steady, substantial growth and permanent prosperity; a genial climate tempers the summer heat and winter’s cold, bringing to per fection the necessaries and many of the luxuries of civilized life and cultured taste. And now that we have spent columns in endeavoring to describe Lawrenceville, Buford and Su wanee, their business men and en terprises, climate, location and their great natural wealth, we re alize that no amount of descrip tion can fully satisfy the home seeker or capitalist. Naturally he must see with his own eye, and in this case seeing is believing; so that has been the object of this article—to arouse interest and ex cite investigation. Those in quest of home sites have a varied abun dance from which to select—hill, dale, slope, wood and field, all spread out like' a panorama, in viting the home seeker to stay his wanderings and find rest and re pose.
