We were exposed last week to pitiess storm,
that wet our feet and stockings, and indeed our
cold, which brought sore throat and severe
symptoms Of fever. The good wife asserted
her authority, plunged our feet in hot water
wrapped us in hot blankets, and sent our faith
ful son for bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
1t is splendid medicine-pleasant TO take,
and did the job. We slept soundly through
the night and awoke we'll the next morning
We know we owe our quick recovery to the
Pectoral, and shall not hesitate to recommend
it to all who need such edicine.-Tehuacana

THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENT OF THE 40

THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENT OF THE ACE.
Farmers are invited to call at Hubers Foun-
dr., Danvlle, Pa, or on the Agents and ex-
anime the improvement in Plows over the old
style of fa.trnins the shares with bolts. In the
old style the bolts would become loose the
shares would work and az the entire bearing Of
the share would he on the mould board, the
Plow would always be loose, the bolts would
rust fast, rendering it quitediilcult to screw the
bolts up In the improvement all this is over,
come, having lug on the back part Of the
share which fits into slot Of the mould board
and the land side is uovetaied into the cutter
part Of the share. A lock on the land side fit
ting into the beam, and two bolts through the
land side is all that is required to make il the
DoA complete ARA cement for fastening on the
share ever yet discovere !. The strength Of the
snare is greater because of its bearing being
more divided, the Pow is stronger and the
share cannot work ioo.e. Farmers who have
seen it pronounce it the best arrangement they
have ever known. TO be convinced of this,
call and judge for yourself.
