However, there is little of the old Limberlost to recall scenes of the beautiful pictures of nature described in her books. After the real Limberlost had disappeared, Mrs, Porter removed to Sylvan Ixike and there, from her knowledge of the old Limberlost. built an artificial ‘Limberlost’ on ground which she owned.’’ - —o TIRED, ACHING, SWOLLEN FEET Moone's Emerald Oil Guaranteed to Stop All Pain and Soreness and Banish Offensive Odors.
