CHANGE OF CLIMATE
WON’T CURE CONSUMPTION
The Slocum System is Needed.
A Curative Medicinal Treatment Founded on Modern
Scientific Truths is More Potent
Than Air Alone.
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

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.
