A Single Remedy Often Cures

because the food is not properly digested

child that relief and cure are to be had
only by setting up healthy condition in

OF vegetable growths into a temperance
remedy for indigestion, and called it
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is probably
the most eficacious discovery ever made
in medicine, for the list of people all over

BUILDINGS AT EATON MOUNTAIN

The columns in order above refer
to Rebuilt, Length. Width. Posted and
Height.
The location is one of unusual
scenic beauty. The farm buildings are
on plateau about 400 feet above the
sea level and 200 feet above the Ken
nebec river, which Is less than mile
away. An elevation in the pasture
rises to 725 feet above sea level. From
this one can see the mountains on the
boundary line, 100 miles to the north
toward Canada, a magnificent panora-
ma In all directions.
Farm is located four and one half
miles from Skowhegan village, prac-
tically all the distance on improved
State Aid Highway. The freight rate
from Skowhegan and other Kennebec
points, to Boston Is just about hall
what 1t Is from most Aroostook ship
ping stations.
The farm consists of about 200
acres, divided somewhat as follows:
go acres of moving, 80 acres pastur-
age. 80 acres orchard, % acres wood
land. To the 60 acres OF moving
should be added rs acres out OF the
orchard, az above given, az there Is
ut present a splendid yield of hay in
the young orchard OF 1000 trees. This
gives at present S5 acres OF tlllable
land.
Water supply is from we'll, pumped
from gasoline engine into 1900 gallon
pressure tank.
