There is no use of trying to scare Parfreyville sinners by talking death to them. They don’t believe in it. While their doctor lives, none will die. This medicine man of Parfreyville is about to build a residence, and it is to be built of builders. He will do the work himself. Any invalid having lumber, shingles, lath, lime, sand, glass, putty or door knobs for sale will do well to employ this medical mason of Parfreyville. The Doctor wil make a specialty of business. He will have a large field upon which to work in this particular branch of his profession, in Parfreyville alone. The Doctor has been clerking for C.E. Holman the past winter, mainly for the purpose of learning the English language, as well as American customs and manners.
