1t is soothing and pleasant it gives more perma-

fore used, and its sedative influence over nervous
pain is highly appreciated by medical men, many Of
whom have used it. Read this from DR.. Elkinton,
a physician who has practiced since 1886 (too we'll
known for cOmment):
"At intervals during thirty years past, my wife
has been subject to rheumatism of the most violent
cast-say four times a year-sOmetimes so severe 8s
to make it necessary to administer large doses Of the
~tincture Of gui8cUm and merphia, and rock her like
an infant in a large rocking chair, to induce any re-
pose. Having frequent correspondence with my son
(l02 Chestnut streetO Of yeur city, | informed him of
an attack she had about the middle of last month,
january which was Of such severity as to com
pletely paralyze the system. He, in his anxiety for
his mothers welfare, sent me bottle of your Electric
Oil, but as 1 am one of the practitioners of medicine
in our place, and not a prOselyte to any kindof patent
medicine, l did hesitate to give tia trial however,
on reflection, l concluded to try it which l did, and
after the third and fourth application she became
rather passive, and before one-third Of the bottle was
used not a vestage of the disease remained, and she
still continues well, although she rode out a distance
Of fourteen miles without a renewal Of any of the
symptoms. l therefore felt it my duty, for the sake
of suffering humanity, to forward this testimonial.
/ am yours truly,

COMBINATION PATENT"
HPREGHT STEAM SAW MILL

UPRIGHT STEAM SAW MILL
This mill commands the universal admiration Of saw
mill men everywhere. As its merits become known the
demand for it increases. Orders are coming from every
ca. 1t is suited for every section Of the world wherever
there is timber to be sawed, no matter Of what character
how hard, how large or how small. Two extensive ma
nufactories are now engaged in building these mills, yet
it is almost impossible to turn them out as fast as they
are wanted. They embrace several valuable patents
and improvements, and combine all Of the following ad-
Simpicity-Both the mill and power are so simple in
their construction that any one Of ordinary mechanical
ability can comprehend them, put them up and run them
without danger or difficulty.
POrfG5ility-Tbe whole establishment can be very
quickly taken apart and put together, thus rendering 1t
easy to be moved from place Oplace aSdeSlred, and saw
ing the necessity Of drawing the logs a long distance to
DurdbiitV-It is constructed in the most solid and
substantial manner, runs perfectly still, is not liable to
get out Of order, and will last for years without repair.
Rdpidity-It will saw faster than any other upright
upright mill. The speed Of the saw is about three hun
dred strokes per minute, and the feed from One-eighth to
three-quarters Of an inch per stroke. Thus, at a medium
speed the saw will cut through a log twenty-fOur feet
long in about three minutes. From this data any one
knowing the character Of the timber can calculate how
much it will do.
Eficieacy-It does its work well, cuts smoother and
s~traighter than the ordinary mills, and the arrangement
Of the saw is such as to render il utterly impossible for
it to run out of line.
ChedpneSs-The entire lost Of the mill, with fifteen
horse power and everything all complete and ready for
running, boxed and ready for shipment in st. Louis, is
only SI,750.
This mill requires less power to drive than any other
mill, and the power furnished is sufficient to drive extra
machinery.
Acircular containing full particulars will be sent to
any one desiring it. All Ordert should be addressed to
