FROM 1858 TO 1914

This brief history of a pioneer doc.
tor in Washington county. Ohio, tells
of service to humanity that continu.
ed without interruption for fifty-six
long years.
The doctor in the early years of his
practice, learned that even in the days
before the Civil War the people need
ed good tonic medicine, just as they
do today. AS was the practice in those
early years, he went to the doctor he
had studied under and was given a
formula for making tonic from herbs,
roots, barks, iron andA other medical
ingredients. From the, very irst, this
tonic gave wonderful results. People
that were weakened by disease, old age
overworked were quickly made vigor.
Gus and strong ater taking a few bot
ties of the tonic. Sufferers from stom.
aeh, liver and kidney ailments, as
well as loss of appetite, soon found
relief from their ailments when they
took the tonic and in many cases com.
plete cures resulted. As, the years
rolled by, the old doctor tried the vari-
GUS new tonics as they came out, but
never found anything that would give
the same good results as his own prep.
aration. So up to the very time of his
death in 1914 at the ripe old age of
SO years, he gave this good old tried
and true medicine to his patients.
His two sons became doctors and
they also used this tonic in their reg
ular practice with the same good re.
suits as their father had.
This great tonic medicine is now
placed on the market for the good Of
the people and is known at OLD HIC.

1t is conceivable that Governor clothed with the

does not follow that because of this the Governor is
