DR.. G. w. RoBAcK-Sir: I am farmer,
about thirty years of age. Was taken i'll in
August, 1860, with fever, general debility,
loss of APPETITE, swollen limbs and stiff joints,
and was doctored by physician several
months with no result but large fee bill. I
tried after that various remedies, with no
benefit. I almost gave up in despair, when a
neighbour showed me one of your almanacs
from Grifin's drug store, and recommended
your medicines. I procured two bottles of
Blood Purifier and three boxes of Blood Pills
from MIR. Griffin's, which took as directed,
and was perfectly restored to health. The
whole of last winter was enabled to cut my
fire wood; now can do as good a day's chop
ping as ever could ID my life. a7-E..<
P.S.-A further inducement to try your
medicines was the fact that was intimately
with O. Thomas, of Grand Ledge,
in this State, who was cured of a severe
rheumatic difficulty by your medicines. 9.

county, aged "a years. has been deaf for a num-
Der of years, and troubled by constant unpleasant
SCUM DIS in his head. He called upon Dr.. sMYTH at
the Halliday House two months ago. and. had an
operation performed on his ears, which resulted in
instant relief. We saw Mr. Rowland two or three
days ago, and he informed us that the noises are
all gone, and his hearing is almost as acute as it
ever was. Such home testimony, coming from a

and is sufficient to inspire with hope the afflicted

Cost of Raising Wheat
i'm Iovva.

We are too far removed as State
from any market In the East To raise
wheat and receive for II, one year
with another, price above the cost
OF producing IL, or equal to that which
can be obtained for the price of any
other crop Ii fed on the farm or sold
within = reasonable distance Of it,
The difference against wheat Is not
less than twenty. FIVE per cent. We
estimate that the average cost of pro-
ducing bushel of wheat I'm Iowa IL
not less than 80 cents. The census of
the State for 1868 gives the average
production Of spring wheat per acre
at ten bushels, but the average for n
series OF years 10 twelve bushels
Those who produce fifteen or twenty
bushels per acre may save Themselves
and obtain something handsome over
II they can get 81 q bushel for IL ut
their nearest town. But let us be
correct as possible on this matter of
raising wheat, as IL has become Sc.
rious question for the consideration
OF wheat growers, and 10 do this we
call upon those who have eou n ted the
cost TO give us their exl.erience. -
