1T is a notorious fact that when a mans
stomach becomes disordered he begins ia
feel badly all over. He loses his appetite
his strength fails him, and WEAKNESS and
lassitude take the place of his former en-
ergy. He then falls an easy victim to ma
larial fever or fever and ague. He should
renew his health by the use of Reeds

A prominent official of a sister State
inquiring as to the operation of
fertilizer law, to which he gave the
following reply
OFFICE n. c. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.
Raleigh, n. c., Jan. 4, 1878.
My DEAR SIR,-Iour favor of the Cd
INST. asking information as to the
operation and effect in our State of the
law imposing "a tax on commercial fer
t~iilzers. Is just received.
Our law imposes a privilege tax of
$500 per annum on each brand of
manipulated guano, superphosphate or
other commercial fertilizer, sold or of
fered for sale III the State. Under the
Act, 30 licenses We're granted last sea
son, and others are now being taken.
All fertilizers are subjected to analy-
sis, from time TO time. by our Chemist,
and the results of his Investigations
are published for the information of
people.
IA law is almost universally en-
dorsed by the people, because, first, bv
these analyses made and published,
tney are protected against fraud and
imposition in their purchases. Second
". No manufacturer Will place on our
market an inferior or spurious article,
knowing, as he does, that it would be
detected and exposed hence hum
bugs and frauds in the way of fertil-
IZerS are driven from our State. and
the people buy with more confidence
the brands that are offered.
The law is also heartily endorsed by
some OF the leading manufactures who
nave taken oct license. not only. they
saw. because the merits of their goods.
as determined by our analysis. are Off
cially advertised by us, but be ause
they are relieved of competition with
worthless in our market.
They say they are not only content
With the law, but they want it to ron
tinue III force SO long as it is faithfully
and impartially executed.
Some of our people were apprehen-
sive that its effect would be to advance
the price of fertilizers offered them.
but in no instance has such been the
case. An attempt was made bv a
party to advance his price one dollar
per ton. but u farmers very promptly
and very properly declined to buy of
him at his advanced rates.
This law has already saved hundreds
of thousands of dollars to our farmers,
and they will demand its continued
existence. Had all the States, and es-
peciaIlv those of the cotton belt. a
similar law. millions of the hard-earned
money of our farmers would be saved
to them annually. Be assured that il
will give me pleasure at all times to
serve YOU.
have the honor to be. Sir.
Yours most respectfully.
