Mr.. Il. L. M0ORE:
think the Oliver Chilled Pillow, which !

have ever used or seen and for ihe reason
that il is, ia my opinion, constructed upon
purely scientific principles, fact which !
think will be obvious TO any intelligent per-
son who is not pfeigdiced and viii study its
construction and witness its work.
Science. when practically applied, "will

light daft and excellent work Of these Plows.

any c0asderation which a farmer could rca-
sonably refuse.
