of this wonderful medicine which
would be sold at Dr. Head’s Drug
store in Dahlotiega. telljng us to
make out our bill and send it in to
the company for four insertions.
We carried out our part of the con¬
tract and sent in our bill. Dr.

have since written tire company
twice but cannot even get an an
