DYSPEPSIA OF WOMEN.
*>-v
Mrs. E. B. Bradshaw, of
Guthrie, Qkla., cured of a severe
case by Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp
toms seem to be similar to those of
ordinary indigestion, yet the medi
cines universally prescribed do not
seem to restore the patient’s normal
condition.
Mrs. Pinkham claims that there
Is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by derangement of the female organ
ism, and which, while it causes dis
turbance similar to ordinary indige^
tion, cannot be relieved without a
medicine which not only acts as a
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well.
Thousands of testimonial let
ters prove beyond question that
nothing will relieve this distress
ing condition so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. It always works in har
mony with the female system.
Mrs. Pinkham advises sick
women free. Address Lynn, Mass.
Protect the Dollies!
Hvery mother has bright hopes for her baby.
These hopes depend on the health ^f the little
one during the first few years. A baby is sure
to be well, fat and healthy if its health is looked
after. Baby's health depends on its getting
through the teething period safely. Babies are
generally affected with diarrhoea summer com
plaints when teething, which could be avoided
by using McGee’s Baby Elixir to digest its food
and prevent its food from souring on its stomach.
McGee’s Baby Elixir contains no opiates or
poisons, or other harmful ingredients. It is
especially suited to sick and well babies. Great
care* should be used in due time to prevent any
trouble.
Wbea Needed.—McGee's Baby Elixir regu
lates the stomach and bowels, corrects Sour
Stomach, cures Diarrhoea and Summer Com
plaint, corrects Indigestion, prevents fermen
tation of food in stomach and bowels.
Baby Elixir will carry your baby through the
dangerous teething period; prevents add cures
fretfulness and feverishness; insures natural
test and sleep.
McGee’s Baby Elixir.—So harmless it should
be used freely to prevent diseases as well as to
cure. It can never do anything but good, so do
not hesitate to use it if there are any signs that
baby's digestion is out of order. Keep your
baby’s bowels in good order to insure health.
McGee’s Baby EUxIr.—Just as good in winter
as summer; also recommended to delicate women'
for sick stomach. Price. 25 and 50c.
The Mayfield Medicine Mfg. Co., St. Louis.
Dear Sirs—I have used McGee’s Baby Elixir
with my little girl, two years old, and boy five
years old, for Summer Complaint and Sleepless
ness, caused from Bowel and stomach trouble,
with satisfactory results; advise all mothers to
keep it on hand for quick relief.
Respectfully,
MRS. U. B. HICKS.

TAUGHT BY EXPERIENCE.
Aa Lon* mm Farmers Can’t Control
the Market It Pays to Cater
to Popular Tast*.
The merchant lays in such stock as
he knows his customers will buy. The
grocer makes his stock as attractive
as passible, and he knows what class
of customers he may expect when he
locates in any particular locality. In
fact, I do not know of any other class
of people who offer goods on the mar
ket without knowing what the market
is, except the farmer, or more strictly
speaking, the farmer’s wife. I have
just been having a little experience, and
you know it is experience that teaches.
A friend up in New England spent
all her spare time last summer raising
geese, and a big, fine flock she had when
it came tifne to market them. We were
all there when killing day came. The
geese were killed in the old way, by
cutting off the heads. They were then
brought in, dipped into a boiler of hot
water, then rolled in a piece of car
peting to steam, and by the time they
were cool we picked. This process
makes picking very easy, and does not
injure the skin. These people pick
feathers and down all into one basket,
and offer it at the price of feathers.
I had bought down pillows in the cit
ies, and of course recognized the value
of the down; so we instituted a second
picking. The feathers can be taken off
first and put in a basket by themselves,
then the down picked separately. It
is really the easier way to do the pick
ing. The down thus saved sells at a
much higher price than the selling
price of feathers. These ge,ese were all
dipped in a thin solution of starch wa
ter, which gives the skin a very nice
appearance, and were then shipped to
one of our large cities. But here is
the point. In that particular market
customers prefer fowls with the heads
on. And here was a boxful, over 300
pounds, all dressed alike, all dressed as
the market does not want them dressed,
and shipped at—well, at “any old time,”
just when it happened tobe convenient
to kill them.
These people, after putting a whole
summer’s work into goose raising, did
not take a paper in which they could,
read market quotations; did not look
for a market quotation to know where
to ship their geese, and did not stop to
inquirehow best to prepare their ship
ment for the market. What would be
come of a commission merchant if he
were to do business so regardless of the
market? He would have to give up
business in short order. And I hate
to see the farmer or his wife lose the
full benefit of a year’s work in this way.
Farmers do not watch the “market re
ports” page of their paper closely
enough.—Maude Meredith, in Country
Gentleman.
STRONc PLANK DRAG.
This Implement Does Effectual Work
In Leveling; and Putting; the
Ground In Order.
_ /
The drag consists of four four by
four scantlings fastened together with
rods, with small blocks two inches
thick between scantling, with rings on
the ends of the rods, hitched to by
"V
POWERFUL PLANK DRAG,
means of rods and ring or a chain and
ring. The slat is for the purpose of
lifting the drag to free it from rub
bish or stone. This drag carries fine
dirt along between the scantlings,
which fills up all low places and levels
the ground. A drag of this description,
eight feet long, is a good load for a
team of horses, without a harrow at
tached behind. If|more weight is want
ed the man can ride the drag. It does
effectual work in leveling and putting
the ground in order.—Ohio Funner.
Wolf Teeth la Horaei.
Many people imagine that wolf teeth,
as they are called, by some mysterious
means, reach up to the eye and affect
it in some manner, and many other ri
diculous fancies. They are merely su
perfluous teeth. The idea that they
are injurious has become so firmly en
grafted in the public mind that it is
almost impossible t».eradicate it. In
the great majority of cases horses af
fected suffer from recurrent .opthal
mia, the teeth having nothing to do
with the causation of same. I never
argue with people about wolf teeth,
but pull them as I am requested. You
will feel better satisfied if the wolf
teeth are pulled," so it would be bet
ter to have a veterinary remove them.
-—C. E. Hatch, V. S., in Rural New
Yorker.
One advantage of starting with eggs
rather than fowls in securing a good
breed is that the risk of loss ia
lessened.
A PROFITABLE YEAR
ON THE FARM
Depends to a large extent on pure blood, good diges
tion and a sound physical condition.
The farmer cannot afford to commence Spring work with his blood loaded with
impurities or with a torpid liver or constipated bov/els. When the sun gets warm,
if there are impurities in the blood they begin to spread their malignant influence
to every part of the system producing a drowsy, tired, lazy feeling. WcrJc becomes
a severe task instead of a pleasure and the victim has to drive himself to his dcily
duties. Unless this condition is corrected symptoms of a spell of sickness scon
appear. The appetite becomes variable, the breath foul, with bad taste in the
mouth, occasional headache and feverishness, all of which gradually ; -owe worse r.s
the days get warmer, and by the time hot weather sets in the vL . a finds that lie
can’t work to amount to anything. He is weak, short-winded ana his head swims
on the least exertion hence he is compelled to lose valuable time sitting around
home when he should be out looking after the harvesting of crops or other important
work. How long delayed the final breakdown will be is a question of strength, and
if the disease is allowed to progress until it undermines the constitution the end is
inevitable, in the meantime there is much suffering and expense. The proper
course to avoid this misery is to begin the season right, by thoroughly purifying the
blood, and cleansing and regulating the stomach, liver and bowels so that the
system will be equipped for hard work in hot weather. Prudent persons begin
taking a reliable system tonic and blood purifier with the first appearance of Spring,
and continue its use regularly until Summer begins. The expense of this “spring
cleaning” is trifling while the benefits are beyond estimate. The number of
persons who take a course of PRICKLY ASH Bitters every year for this purpose,
is increasing rapidly. As its great efficacy in purifying the blood and regulating the
system becomes more widely acknowledged it appeals to all good managers. Every
man who is a success in life is a good manager and nowhere is good management
more necessary than among the workers on tho farm. A good manager not only
considers financial matters but he recognizes the close connection between health
and earning power, if he has not health he cannot make money because the time
needed for labor is lost in sickness. PRICKLY ASH BITTERS then is a money maker.
Used as a Spring tonic it purifies and enriches the blood, strengthens the digestive
organs, stimulates the kidneys, regulates the liver artd bowels; in short, it puts the
system in complete order. When all the vital organs arc active and the stomach
can digest and assimilate food properly the physical condition of the body is at it3
best and a man’s capacity for work is only limited to his strength.
PRICKLY ASH Bitters is good for the whole family. It is good for sickly
children as it acts mildly on the liver and bowels, drives out worms or impurities,
promotes good appetite and digestion, sound sleep and a healthy growth. It is a
marvelous remedy for women and the ailments peculiar to their sex, establishes
regularity, cures constipation, heartburn and nervous weakness, sweetens the
breath, removes sallowness and transforms the cross tired victim into a bright
cheerful woman with clear eye and the rosy bloom of health in the complexion.

RATHER TOO SMART.
Paoeitloua Yoang Lawyer Gets m
Taking Down by an Indiff
nait Wttneaa.
A promising barrister was wont to declare
that, though many a bad case had been won
by a brilliant sally in court, equally as-many
good ones had been- lost through overdoing
the thing, says London Tit-Bits.
Not long ago a case arising out of a street
ftcv-idiut came on for hearing at a certain
county court.
An electric tramcar had figured in the col
lision, and when one of the witnesses steppedl
forward1 he was at once tackled by the face
tious young gentleman engaged by-the plain
tiff's.
“What are you?” he began abruptly.
“An electric conductor,” responded the
witness.
“Ind-eed!” ejaculated the lawyer. “A
living lightning conductor, I suppose?”
For one moment the witness hesitated.
Then he boldiy tackled the facetious one.
“Look here, young man,” he remarked,
in a fatherly sort of way. “You may not
know it, but there are different kinds of
conductors. For instance, I’m one and )*ou’re
another, and' if I didn’t conduct my car any
better than you’re conducting your cane, I
should earn the sack, and get it!”
A Sudden Drop.
eP,” said Dakota Dan, resting hi* glam
on the bar. “he pretended to be a friend of
mine, but he wusn't. Last summer he done
me a dirty, sneakin’ trick—sold me a saddle
that wusn’t his’n, and 1 had to give it up."
“I suppose you were not very friendly with
him after that?”
“Nope—I dropped him then and thar. Hia
widder ma rried theeheriif last week.”—Kanr
ns Citjr Journal.
He Wasn’t a Cheese.
The physicians were holding a consuKo
tion beside the cot of the man supposed, to
have appendicitis concealed about his per
son.
“I believe,” said one of the surgeons, “that
we should wait and let him get stronger be
fore cutting into him.”
Before the other prospective" operators
could reply the patient turned his head and
remarked feebly: “What do you take ma
for—a cheese?”—Baltimore American.
