GEM STONES. 



I have in stock nearly a "peck" of small cut and polished 

 semi-precious stones of almost every conceivable form, shape, 

 size, color and style, ranging in size from i inch in diameter to 

 size of illustration. In the lot I notice the following: Carne- 

 lian, Chrysophrase, Heliotrope or Bloodstone, Chalcedony, 

 Clouded Agate, Banded Agate, Fortification Agate, Ribbon Agate, Brown Agate, 

 Red Agate, Black Agate, Moss Agate, Agatized Wood, Nocha Stones, Dendritic 

 Agate, Brecciated Agate, Onyx (in great variety), Micolo, Sard, Sardonyx, Agate- 

 Jasper, Lapis Lazuli, Crocidolite (Tiger eye), Fossil Corals, Wood Agate, Labra- 

 dorite, Rock Crystal, Amethyst, Aveuturine, etc., etc. Fully one-half of them 

 are suitable for jewel purposes, and if you wanted one mounted to replace a set- 

 ting in a pin, cuff button, watch charm, ring top, or in other jewelery, your 

 jeweler would charge you all the way from 25 cents to $1 for one of these identi- 

 cal stones (jewelers are buying these stones of me for this very purpose). 



While they last I will send yon prepaid selected specimens at from 10 to 25 

 cents each, or I will send them prepaid, my selection at the following extraordi- 

 narily low rates: 



12 well assorted $ 75 



25 " 1 25 



100 " 4 00 



500 " 17 50 



1000 " 30 00 



By purchasing in quantity a handsome profit can be realized, after making 

 selections for your own collection, by retailing (cash or exchange) to others, they 

 ought to "swap" ou an average at fully 25 cents each, and many of them I am in- 

 clined to think would quickly bring three or four times that amount. 



Altho' I've handled specimens for 15 years this is the first lot I have ever se- 

 cured in quantity — previous small lots have always cost me double the price at 

 which I am now willing to sell. Address quick and in full.

CRYSTALS. 



E. H. HAWrV, Collector. 



If your cabinet is not represented by a suit 

 of those superbly crystalized North Carolina 

 Quartzes, it is lacking in one of its most beau- 

 tiful and attractive features. 



Quartzes in Crystals, with the following 

 inclusions: Large, movable water drops, as 

 large as peas: Kaolin; Clay, different colors: 

 Wad; Chlorite; Micas; &c. 



Rutilated Quartz in all varieties, clear 

 and amethyst. This is a true gem stone, odd 

 and beautiful. 



Zi rcons in large, modified and small bril- 

 liant Crystals. 



Occasionally, the following can be sent out 

 in extra specimens: Beryls, Columbite, 

 in piled groups of crystals: Gem Amethyst; 

 Rutile, blood-red, 'single Crystals: Hidden- 

 ite, the best to be had but none very large: 

 Kyanite, sky-blue Crystals; Octahedrite; 

 Chlorite Crystals; Samarskite; Gum- 

 mite; Tourmalines, fine black with ter- 

 minations, also in groups of doubly terminat- 

 ed Crystals, rare; Garnets, Crystals and fine 

 pieces for cutting, peculiar tint; Monazite, 

 and others. 



I wish to call attention to some magnificent 

 Crystals and groups of Quartzes, suitable for 

 Museums and College collections, one group 

 on hand weighing -10 pounds.

 collections showing the entire Quartz range of 

 the State.

MEDICAL. SURGICAL. 



In the past few years many letters have 

 reached me from the readers of the papers 

 requesting advice and medicine. 



Many of the readers of this paper are lo- 

 cated in positions far removed from cities, 

 and where direct association with city 

 physicians cannot be had. 



Advice and medicine are often desired, 

 and in most cases service may be satisfac- 

 torily rendered by mail. 



With the hope of being of assistance to 

 the public, my services are offered. 



All letters answered in the strictest con- 

 fidence. 



Respectfully yours, 

 MORRIS GIBBS, M. D.,
