Editor American Veterinary Review : 
I have a new hospital, well epuipped and well furnished, which I want to sell 
cheap and on easy terms. There is no competition in the county, and it is located at 
the county seat, with 3,000 inhabitants. My hospital is a good one, and was built 
expressly for the purpose, and I have a good practice. My reasons for offering it for 
sale is on account of my health.
