Secretary John Simpson of Iowa de
partment of agriculture last week com

department as they stood on October 1.
The statement shows the agricultural
department to be in excellent financial
condition, and that the recent fair net
ted §14,145.81. Despite the extraordi
nary expenditures of the past year and
the fact that several days of the recent
fair were most unfavorable for the at
traction of crowds, Secretary Simpson

with $57,701.48 in the treasury. The
balanco in the hands of the treasurer on
the first of December last year was 830,
372.25. The receipt from the state fair
of 1003 amounted to £01,123.42. The
expenses for the fair were 821.789.42,
821,789.0*2, and the association paid out
£23,813.13 for premiums. During the

Bronchitis for Twenty Years.
Mrs. Minerva Smith, of Danville, 111.,
writes: "I had bronchitis for twenty
years and never got relief nntil 1 nsed
Foley's Honey and Tar which is a sure
cure.
Here is one that will convince von:
Take the number of living brothers,
double the amount, and to it add three,
multiply by fi, add to it the number of
living sisters, multiply the result by
ton and add the number of deaths of
brothers and sisters and subtract 150
from the result. The right figure will
be the number of deaths, and the mid
dle will be the number of living sisters,
and the left will show the number of
living brothers. Try it and see.

When an incident like tho following

to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the rounds

people become skeptical. On one sub

This is due to tho actual experience of

ago that my kidneys were weak and 1
have been subject to backache upon the
least provocation. Particularly so il
overexerted myself there was 110 doubt
about the cause for the action and con
dition of the kidney secretions plainly
proved it. They contained sediment,
were full of acid and scalded. If 1 con
tracted even a slight cold it was sure
to seat itself in the loins and greater
aggravation followed and I always knew
a coaiing change in the weather. 1 have

Hurt So Badly Was
Nearly Crazy.
Had no Sleep—Could

Dr. Miles' Nervine Per»
manently Cured Me.
A year ago I suffered from extreme nerv
ous stomach trouble. I was afraid of every
thing, could not bear to hear singing or music
and reading or hearing of a death nearly
brought on my own. I could not sleep or
hardly lie down, the back of my head hurt
me so badly I nearly went crazy. My shoul
ders hurt and the least thing I did would
bring on an attack of extreme nervousness.
There were ames when 1 would have a lump
in my throat and my mouth would be so dry
I could hardly speak. I was in despair until
I began to take Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerv
ine. I have taken in all twelve bottles and
consider myself permanently cured. My
home doctor has since remarked on my
healthy appearance and said he wished he
could say his medicine helped me. He
knows it was Dr. Miles' Nervine. We are
never without the Anti-Pain Pills and con
sider your medicines household remedies. I
cannot say enough for the Nervine, because
in addition to my own case my daughter,
who was out of school for along time be
cause of St. Vitus' dance, was completely
cured by eight bottles. She is now feeling
fine and going to school every day. We
thank you tor your kindness and will nevei
stop singing the praises of Dr. Miles' Restor
ative Nervine."—Mrs. C. E. Ring, Lima, O.
