Iu response to our Adumsburg

following letter was written:
Wimiamspout, Pa., Sept. , ''Jl.
En. Post : Somo days ago I had
a letter inquiring ubout the Index
Medicine Co. of this place. I replied
by saying I thought them a fiaudas
I could not find any one here who
knew anything of such a company.
I have since learned there is such a
couipuny here, composed of a drug
gist and two other respectable citi
zeiis, who ure engaged in man u fuc
turing medicines under tho name of
the Index Mediciuo Co. I know
nothing about the medicine, but they
claim that it is all that is claimed for
it. I write this at the request of the
Iudex Medicine Co.

ton, Brazil and Cuba, but sinco July
he has been in this county. At
Selinsgrove he used his ill-gotten
gaines to have a good tiiuo with the
fair sex of the town and in fact ho

of the young dames at our county's
metropolis. Thompson was in part
nership with S. P. Hagonbauch in
the cigar business. Ho made fulso
entries and claimed credit whero no
claimes were duo. He secured en
