Messrs. Reed, Wing & Cutler -Gent.-
feel it a duty owe the public, and es-
peciallv TO hundreds OF my fellow beings
who are now suffering under different dis
eases of tie lungs, to give you statement
of the good effects / have experienced
from the use of the Vegetable Pulmonary
BaIsam. Having from my youth up been
troubled with different complaints of the
lungs, such as splitting of blood, dry
troublesome cough, frequent hoarseness,
with severe fits of coughing, and indeed
all the symptoms Of consumption, and from
time to time | have consulted several emf
nent physicians, and have taken much
medicine. but I received little or no relief
and at last they told me there was no help
for me; that my case was beyond the
reach of their medicines. In the spring
OF 1922 was advised by friend to try
the Vegetable Pulmonary Balsam. lob
tanned Two bottles, and on trial was sur
prised to find so sudden and efectual re-.
lief which it gave me, and after using it
about FIVE weeks al! my complains were
entirely removed, and | was restored to
good health. Since that time have kept
it constantly by me, in case OF the appear
ance of any OF the above complaints
have known large number of cases
where all other medicines have failed of
adording any relief, the Balsams was at
length resorted to, and speedily effected a
cure. / would therefore recommend TO
every person that has any of the above
complaints. on their first appearance TO
take the Vegetable Pulmonary BaIsam,
which theY will fnd safe. convenient
and positive cure. RESPECT yours.

in bad weather, but unless mich cattle have
shelters they cannot be profitable. Cows
should have green food, such as grass or rye
in winter in addition To what they take from
the trough. Let the stables be Uttered with
straw and cleaned out daily, that the animals
may remain free from filth. The food, OF
whatever kind it is, should be boilded in ke,-
ties or steamed before it is given out. Corn
boiled is easily digested, and cattle will get
the strength Of the cob, which makes the corn
prepared in this way. more valuable than
when ground into meal, unless the crushing
machine is used. Hay, oats, corn stalks,
and all dry food. may be steamed with sig
nal advantage. Beels. potatoes, turnlPs, car
rots, parsnips and all kinds of roots are ex-
~cellent when cooked and fed with food that
is dryer and calculated to fill up. While the
COW is milking she should be fed three times
a day, unles. she has plenty Of grass, when
twice Il day will do. The above remrrks
are particularly applicable in winter.-lb.
