Snow FLAKE MILLS, April II, 1870.
Splitter + Hunter, Gents-I have used the Excel
sior Reaper and Mower three seasons, and re-
gard it one of the lightest and most durable ma
chimes in use. l have cut 500 acres of grain,
grass and clover seed, and have not paid out
81. so for repairs, and is in frst-rate order.
I would not exchange my reaper for any other
that have seen in use.
Yours truly, r. S. HARNsBERGER.
MIDDLE RIVER, May 3rd, 1871.
Messrs. Cline, SeiberLang & Co.-Gents-I pur-
chased of Messrs Splitter & Hunter, one of your
Excelsior Reaper and Mowers last season, and
found it to be all it was represented to be. In
lodged or tangled grain it certainly is the best
machine ever used. / have owned the Nc
Cormick, Dorsey and the improved Hubbard
From my knowledge of machines, and havingino
interest in the success of any of the manufactu-
rers or their agents, must say for the benefit of
my fellow-farmers, that l cheerfully recommend
the EXCELSIOR as the lightest most durable,
and simple machine in use.
Yours truly, JOHN KELLER, Jr.

rlence of many eminent Physicians, prove that
1t is the Springs for suffering females but besides
Its wonderful tonic properties dc q remedy in
general debility, anemia and diseases peculiar to
females, it is unsurpassed in the treatment of the
various forms of Dyspepsia, and particularly
for those suffering from torpid and inactive liver,
It's action upon the liver, well as the kidneys,
being prompt and decisive. Very many re-
markable cures could be cited of this class Of
troublesome diseases
