But our time has expired and Mr..
Fastening and take the Pennsylvania
railway for Carolina. We changed cars
at Washington, ID. c.. and took turns
watching each others suit cases and
taking in the town. Speaking about
heat. We both agreed we had never
experienced anything like it in Phoenix.
] never expected TO live through it, but
all horrors end and at seven the next
morning l left the train at salisbury,
Mr. Easterling billed for South Caro-
| lima and / for Asheville. North Caro-
| lima reached Asheville at D. m.
and went a. once 20 the Winyah SAM
tarium, the sole property of DR.. Karl
Won Ruck, who has recently purchased
the ostrich farm at Phoenix. This sani-
tarlum is called the most beautiful in
America. The style of architecture is
| Qneen Anne and picturesque England.
| Ii is built on hill side densely wooded.
There is accommodation for about 100
patients, and a happier, more hopeful
set of invalids ] nev saw The sani
tarium has every feature OF a first class
hotel with every home comfort and all
the appliances any hospital affords
The sanitarium is full all the time and
there are too many cures affected in
this beautiful place to leave any doubt
In my mind as to the real curative ac-
ton of the means they use. DR.. Won
Ruck has worked for years TO perfect
his extract and it now yields results
superior to anything else known in the
early stages of consumption.
] stayed in this beautiful institution
two weeks until / had learned just how
the remedies were used. and | must
say never spent two happier weeks
in my life.
North Carolina is the poorest country
ever saw. People speak OF our was q
land We are not in 1t with the part
Of the south | saw. The country is
very rough and covered with scrubby
.rees Here and there is a little clear
ing on which is growing a small patch
of bilious looking corn. A miserable
log cabin with no sign of stable, horse
or wagon in sight. The mountaineers
are not only desperately poor but ignor-
ant to degree; about ten out of hun
bred only can sign their names. They
come into Asheville with a COW, or 2
cow and a mule hitched to wagon
In marked contrast to the prevailing
poverty is the beautiful estate of MIR.
