"A SOVEREIGN REMEDY
READ AND CONSIDER.

Every body has known that for years many
hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
made by the sale of what is known as patent.
or proprietary medicines. NJ any have bought
and are now buying such goods, and as hun
dreds Of testimonials testify, much good has
been the result, which accounts for the large
sales and equally large prof IS that are de-
rived by the companies that are now active
ly engaged in this business, which at tins
time shows signs of being more extensive
than in the past
An instance of this is the stock of the
Dana Sarsaparlla Co., which advanced from
500 per share (par) to $500 per share.
All this to one outside of the circle of
patent medicine owners has created desire
to become interested in such property, as
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 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 it's honesty. The New England Drug Co.
makes this offer to the readers Of The Repub-
lican journal.
Now a word as to this company. Il was or
ganized July %, 1895, under the laws of the
State of Maine with capitalization of $50
into 5000 shares of the value of SO 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 in
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 chat medicines Of merit ulti-
mately become popular, and the proprietors
are generally content to wait and reap the
profit alone. In this case there IS no con-
ceament of the fact that while the goods
manufactured are in great demand, 1T IS also
true that the capital is too limited to 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 in 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 i'll one
of the largest and strongest trust companies
in the State of Massachusetts, with capital
and surplus of over s. 900 900. On an invest
ment of 81 900, 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 50 safe a stock, and also 1t is known
that few corporations in this line have placed
their stock upon the market. Swell the capt.
tai and reap the harvest in dividends No
limit to the business
With railroads paying no dividends ana
defauting their bonds, and Western
Farm Mortgages no longer trustworthy in
vestment, Savings Banks paying but 3 to t
per cent. investment at most, it would seem
that II per cent. investment in New Eng
land business enterprise should command
the attention of investors.
This company will be pleased-through its
officers-to personally see or correspond with
all who feel interested or disposed to invest
in the shares of the company. Address
