READ AND CONSIDER.

Everybody has known that for years many
hundreds Of thousands of dollars have been
made by the sale of what il known as patent.
or proprietary medicines. Many have bought
and are now buying such goods and a. hum
dreds of testimonials testify, much good has
been the result, which accounts for the large
sales and equally large profits that are de-
rived by the companies that are now active
ly engaged in this business, which At this
time shows signs of being more extensive
than in the past.
An instance Of this is the stock Of the
Dana sarsaparllla Co., which advanced from
800 per share (par) to $500 per share.
All this to one outside of tile circle of
patent medicine owners has created desire
to become Interested i'll such property, az
the results are equal to those from many a
mine in which shares are issued, and whose
value increases in like ratio to the product.
Why not own shares in a patent medicine
company that pays 1t is a simple thing to
do, and an offer is made with fairness and
one that will bear the closest of inquiry as
to its honesty. The New England Drug Co.
makes this offer to the readers of The Repub-
lican Journal
gained July % 1895, under the laws of the
State of Maine with a capitalization of $50
OOO, of which 100000 was paid IN, divided
into 5000 shares of the value of $40 each,
fully paid and worcestershire.
The past year has shown a dividend of 20
per cent, on the capital invested, and this,
with what can be presented to substantiate
the statement that there is a large and III
Creasing demand for goods puts this COM
pany on par with any in the land
1t is very rare occurrence that the public
is afforded an opportunity of investing IN
the stock of patent medicine corporation
for the reason that medicines of merit uiti-
mately become popular, and the prOprietors
are generally content to wait and reap the
profit alone. In this case there is no con-
cea ment of the fact that while the goods
manufactured are in great demand it is also
true that the capital IS too limited 10 do jus
tice TO the business, therefore, it is deemed
advisable to dispose of sufficient stock to
procure such an amount OF capital as Is
necessary. The amount of profit ia bust
ness of this description is only limited by
the amount of capital.
The company guarantees dividend OF II
per cent. payable quarterly (January April,
July and October. A reserve fund is set
apart for this purpose and deposited in one
of the largest and strongest trust companies
in the State of Massachusetts, with capital
and surplus of over s. 600 900. On an invest
ment of 81 900, we will issue the first five
years dividend checks, duly certified by
said trust company payable as stated above.
This proposition is well worthy OF the
favorable consideration of the conservative
investor, who rarely finds an opportunity to
invest in so safe stock, and also 1T is known
that few corporations in this line have placed
their stock upon the market Swell the capt.
