For some time there has been talk
of a machine shop and foundry for

ever, that the matter took definite
shape. Messrs T. H. Littlejohn, J.
D. Templeton and B. T. Porter have
formed a co-partnership under the
firm name of The Gaffney Machine
Shop and will conduct a business of
the character indicated. For the
present they will occupy the building
in the rear of the Pearl Steam Laun
dry. They will equip themselves to
do all manner of repairing of machin
ery, make castings and do a general
machine shop and foundry business.
The Ledger wishes the new enter
prise all possible success and knowing
the character of the gentlemen who

A NEW TRIUMPH.
The Dreaded Consumption
Can be Cured.
T. A Slocum, the Great Chemist and Scientist,
Will Send to Sufferers, Three Free
Bottles of His Newly Discovered
Remedies to Cure Consumption
and all Lung Troubles.
Xothing could be fairer, more phil
anthropic or carry more joy to the
afflicted, than the generous offer of
the honored and distinguished chem
ist, T. A. Slocum. M. C., of Xew
York City.
He has discovered a reliable and
absolute cure for consumption, and
all bronchial, throat, lung and chest
diseases, catarrhal affections, general
decline and weakness, loss of flesh
and all conditions of wasting away;
and to make its great merits known,
will send three free bottles of his
newly discovered remedies to any af
flicted reader of the Ledger.
Already his “new scientific system
of medicine” has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless
cases.
The Doctor considers it not only
his professional, but his religious
duty—a duty which lie owes to suffer
ing humanity—to donate his infallible
cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease be
yond a doubt, in any climate, and
lias on file in his American and Euro
pean laboratories thousand of “heart
felt testimonials of gratitude” from
thflse benefitted and cured, in all
pacts of the world.
Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles
lead to consumption, and consump
tion, uninterrupted, means speedy
and certain death. Don’t delay until
it is to late. Simply write T. A.
Slocum, M. C., 98 Pine street, Xew
York, giving express and postoffice
address, and the free medicine will bo
promptly sent. Please tell the Doc
tor you saw his offer in The Ledger.
