Ilo was then only thought of, but the aggressiveness and farsightedness of the Doctor was put into play and he, with Mr. Leggett, who is mentioned in the work elsewhere, established the town. They erected the building where Mr. Leggett is now and then the Doctor built his drug store and the town was launched and has shown itself a worthy child.
