scarcity of Corn and oa,s.

We can scarcely recollect the time
when there was such demand, in this
place, FOR oats and.corn. They command
almost any price the owner chooses TO
ask. Many persons are feeding wheat
TO their stock, not being able to get corn
or oats at any price. Corn is quoted in
the Wheeling papers at 60 cents aud oats
at 40. Several hundred bushels might be
disposed of here at these figures.

Dr. Roback,s Scandinavian Remedies

The seeds of all disorders are in the blood
and Dr.. Roback's Blood Purifier and Pills act
specifically on that fluid. They are composed
of rare Swedish herbs, and form sovereign
antidote to the injecting and corrupting prinei-
pie of disease. Not only do they cure indi-
gestion, bilious complaints, female weakness;
connubial incompetency, nervous disorders,
lung and throat affections, diarrhea, etc., ETC.,
but they cleanse, purify and invigorate every
organ, and put the whole animal machinery in
such vigorous condition that it is enabled to
resist and throw off the influence Of bad air
and other causes of sickness.

DISEASE VANQUISHED

By Dr. Roback's Scandinavian Rsnssdsss
A FTER years of study, analysis AMI expert
IL ment, DR.. Roback, the eminent Swedish
Physician, succeeded in producing medicine
from the mountain herbs of his native land,
which acts directly upon the causes of disease
in the blood, and by restoring the corrupted
fountain Of life to a condition Of health and
purity, expels disease from the system wher-
ever it may be located, or whatever may be its
character. Indigestion, nervous complaints,
epileptic and other fits, coughs, consumption
in its early stages, sore throat, bronchitis, fever
and ague, asthma, low spirits, sexual incapa-
city, feminine weakness, pricking of the skin,
symptomatic Of paralysis, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, tumor, cancer; diabetes, lassitude and
debility. diarrhea, and all other disorders of
the organs of respiration, the liver, the kid
neys, the stomach, the nerves, or the muscu-
lar fibre, are unerringly cured by this prepa-
ration. 1t is to the 'nateries morbi, or seeds
of disease, what an alkali is to an acid; it neu-
tralizes them with absolute certainty, while at
the same time it regulates the secretions, re-
moves distractions from the bowels, creates
appetite, renews bodily vigor, and regenerates
every animal function. Such is the nature,
such are the effects of DR.. Roback's famous
ScANDrNAvrAN BLOOD PURIFIER. which, taken in
conjunction with his BLooD PILLS. will not only
obliterate the most painful diseases, but pre-
vent their recurrence, and lengthen life be-
yond its ordinary span.
To prevent imposition, purchase only Of re-
spectacle druggists, &C., of regular agents, or

turer, 6, Forrth-street, Cincinnati.

This company has also complied with the

1t was incorporated by the Legislature Of

EEGEffEETUAL CHARTER, and commenced bust
ness on capital of two hundred thousand
dollars; the whole of which has been invested
in securities of the highest character.
Those who contemplate making life insur-

of the character and stability of the Company
they may select. The interest of the assured
in the stability and permanent prosperity of a
Company, in the security and certainty that it
will fulfill its engagements, is of incompara-

that may be made by paying inadequate pre-

The principle of Life Insurance is based on
sound mathematical calculations, and admits
of no variation. Ultimate security, being the
primary object to be obtained, this Company
will do business on the lowest rates of pre-

lite security to the insured, and perpetuity to

HAMILTON, ONO, NOV. III, 1902.
DR.. RoBAcK-Dear Sir: have read in the
newspapers many accounts of cures effected by
your Scandavian Remedies, but consider my
own case at leasta as interesting and as marvel
GUS as any of them. So far as you are coD-
cerned, one testimonial more or less is Of little
consequence. Your fame is established, and
my statement cannot add to your celebrity.
But for the benefit of my fellow creatures, |
desire to make known the facts. WhenI called
upon you, at the instance of dear friend, on
the 21st of March last, l had been nine years a
sufferer from catarrh. The irritation Of the
nerves and membrane of the head was go in
tense that sometimes it almost drove me crazy.
could not sleep, and was never free from un-
pleasant sensations. At various times five
different physicians had attended me, each one
treated me in his own way, but none Of them
did me any good. l despaired of ever seeing
another well day, and when l called at your
consultation rooms, had very little hope of re-
lief. By your advise, l entered Immediately
upon a regular course of your Scandinavian
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. was encour-
aged by the cheerful, hopeful way in which
you spoke, and l resolved STRICTLY to follow
your direction. In less than week, all the
worst symptoms of my complaint began tc
take milder form, and SO continued to i'm.
prove from week to week until, at the end Of
three months, my head was entirely relieved
and every trace of the catarrh had left me-
Still, however, 1 continued to take the rene
dies for nearly six weeks longer, because
found they were building up my strength and
! fort;fying my constitution. Six months have
passed since the cure was finished, and have
had no sign of relapse. l should be glad tc
see this letter, or the substance of it, in print
for the guidance of others.
Yours, with heartfelt gratitude,
Mrs. AUGUSTUS COOCH.
