The ingredients listed are often foreign to me. I’m reading from a booklet handed out by a Dr. D. Fahmey & Son of Hagerstown, Maryland. They sold Health Restorer, Teeth ing Syrup, Pealess Liniment and Syrup of Wild Cherry, Their Health Restorer will cure “all dis ease originating in impure blood and disordered liver.” The 54' x 14' x 90' Deluxe Machine Storage Facility < Raised Chord fruss System 7'B" On-Center 1 24 US 6 AlumaStcel’ Sliding Double End Door 22 6 \ 14 AlumaSlcd' Sliding Double Sidcdoor 2 \ 6 8 9100 9 Luc KYNAR 500 Insulalcd Walkdoor 1 4 \i 9 Lite Insuljied Sliding Window, with Saecns nd Shullers Skj lights 2 6 \ 2 6 ’ Cupolas (no Kins) S'cntcd Sidewall Oecriiangs Gable Overtimes * Cimtmunus Rida Veniilaiinii Sjncni • T\itnor Mi Rib Sled W.imseni mill Interior Proicunc Liner * Rtuilulionary FLUOROFLEX 21KXI' Rool Rami Srslcm * Premium KYNAR SIX) /HYL \R W Sitlcuall Pjim Sulcm * "'ll 'tear Snowlnad Warranlv No Wcialil Limn * ill V ir Warraim on Lammalcd Columns and Trcalcd Lumkr * dll 'Scar Paml Warranlv Imluding Red Rusl * 10 Year Wind Warrann on Doors No Vclneii) Limn * s Year Wind Warranl) on Building No Velocil) Limn * S Year Warranl) Against Rool Leakage * Heav \ Gauge Aluminum Cullers and Dow nspouls * Free Morion Wcallicr Vane <*ikr Ma 1 IVipjfi mi nr insulin bct k f uitJali mMiri Jamm 'I IWandiium a k nil nhik Ail wanmln iniluik iiulirnlt jml ItNt mil jf mu prif ikil imlml 'i*U' mikml' tUn n uni ‘.iilmp ami Ijhiliuful within JUinili* Innn a Mi*lcn Bmhlinj.v Im o n irwti m uf| i f Cu'linno imi i prunk anti jwpaiiilluM <1 m fluililmp* Im Silt S|X<»rKjlntn I «vin I'lj (n *1 ul ik wulMilumlirjiniml tanmi ntumlpartKipik in Mill n v |tnjri\ in p,mmnl pi in I>i ihm priuv nun un Ki u i nflmal huililinjmxV' IlHvrpfuivil mn irnlmli i nihli ilu lulu il f»t" 'aruti m Offti upiru IXurtu 'I IWX ht Jtlinu jlkr IKuinki I IWK innvinklnmalki lhmnl\r 'I IWX jmlpru* i< Mn l| I'M Sik muvik (mpuiiljml ipjr ml hi mil In iIM «l • BuiMmj.sv.il su n ulnnlhv I mum 11 1W) hiuv nm iin lit mn HOI Ini mi Million i 4 v k vain n K'MKWTriliiruflilMlAHhtin AA HUAR 'KIP TraihuuiM Aumi*ni I SA IUORMim W ami AluiiuSkJ Trail iiwlml BuiMimi Im GETTYSBURG, PA ■ 717-624-3331 • PHILLIPSBURG, NJ ■ 908-454-7900 “impute blood” covered all the diseases imaginable. Howeva, this small 1880 book let is interesting to me because my grandfather. Benjamin Landis, kept all the records of his hired man in it. Levi Roland worked for him by the day and each day’s work is listed from April 4, 1885 to September 1. He started by plowing day after day, then hauled manure and planted com. Later they made hay and harvested wheat They worked with tobacco and oats and then started plowing <^BUILDINGS all over again. Even more interesting is how the money was doled out to him by my grandfather bit by bit But ter was 360 for 2 pounds and 1 gallon of vinegar was 200. He bought laid for 1214 0 per pound and apple butter 1214 0 a quart He was given small amounts of cash to go to the store for muslin, cali co, shoe polish, bonnet stuff, and garters. The store was only a mile away in the village of Oregon and was owned by a Bard. It was a combination store and post office. In today’s modem world it is difficult to imagine how life was in 1885. They walked on dirt roads, they paid toll when they drove horses, they heated their houses Wi'h wood, they ate what they raised on their own land, and when they got sick, I suppose they tned Dr. Fahmcr’s medicine to re gain their health. 48' x 13' x 75' Machine Slorage facility Raised Chord Trass System 7'6" On Center .-AS >+ ♦ s s V. f * v f s “ ¥ V ' , v* s > A . • 124 x I4'6’ Wood Sliding Double End Door • I V x 6 8'91(10 KYNAR 800' Insulated Walkdoor (no glass) • 4 SKylichis • Prolalisc Polyester Rool ,md Sidewall Paml Sysicm • Premium KYNAR 8007IIYI AR 5000' Trim Paml Sysicm • 8(1 Year Snowloul Warrants No Weight I mm • 80 Year Warranty on Lammalcd (. olumns and Trealcd I iimher ■ 8 Year Wind Warramv No Velouls Limn • 8 Year Warranty Against Rool 1 eakage • Heavy Gauge Aluminum Gutters and Downspouts • frcc Morion Weather Vane Active Parenting YORK (York Co.)
