enemy retired out of sight at every
point, and we are assured 10 the dis

Crop reports from nearly all sections
of the country, thus far, are sipgnlarly
favorable. In some portions of Min
nesota aud Iowa the grasshoppers are
again putting in an appearance;
throughout the Middle States the pc
tato bug also is at work, but as yet
none of these pests have done any
damage worth speaking of. How it
will be later in the season is another
matter. In the Gulf and South At

the weather for other products Except
some parts of Louisiana and Missis-

The proprietor of this celebrated medi-

all remedies ever offered to the public for
The safe speedy and permanent cure of Ague

of short or long standing. He refers to
the entire Western and Southern country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the
assertion, that in no case whatever viii
it fail to cure if the directions are strict
lv followed and carried out. In great
many cases single dose has been sufi-
cient for a cure and whole families have
been cured by a single bottle, with a per-
feet restoration of the general health
1t is however, prudent, and IN every case
more certain to cure, If its use Is eon-
tinued in smaller doses 70. q week. or two
after the disease has been Checked, more
especially in difficult and long-standing
cases Usually this medicine will not
require any aid to keep the bowels IN
good order Should the patient, however,
require cathartlc medicine, after nav
ing taken three or four doses of the tonic
single dose of Bulls Vegetable Family
Pills will be sufficient.
