promptly.

WHENCE THE CRY COMES.

On recent flying visit to the country
we were panied to see so much loss go
ing on that might be avoided-so many
leaks that might sink larger ships than
most farmers would be able to own. The
thermometer stood at 100 in the shade
the sun was shooting down red-hot rays,
shrivelling up everything exposed to
his sight, and yet there stood the reap
ers in the harvest field, or in the field
near the barn, just as they were left
when the last cutting was done, with.
out anything to protect them. Wagons
plows, cultivators, and horse rakes were
to be seen here and there, without the
shade of even a tree, the paint almost
blistering upon them. Pastures were
dried up, and the cattle looked gaunt
and hungry. Many fields of corn that
we saw would have yielded double the
crop had few more days of timely and
judicious cultivation been given to them
No wonder some farmers cry hard times
Such unnecessary losses would make
hard times in any business. The far
mer must save as well as buy. He must
stop every leak or his farm ship will
sink. st. Louis Rural World

Cherry Pectoral

The reputation it has attained, in
consequence of the marvellous cures it
has produced during the last half CEN
tury, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize
the happieSt results that can be desired.
In almost every section of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried it &C.
knowledge it's superiority; and where
its virtues are known, no one heSitateS
as to what medicine to employ to re-
lieve the distress and suffering peculiar
to pulmonary affections. CHERRY Pee
ToRAL always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures of the milder va
rieties of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases OF the
lungs.
As a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset
the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it
is invaluable; for, by it's timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to
health.
This medicine gains friends at
every trial, as the cures it is constantly
producing are too remarkable to be
forgotten. No family should be with
out it, and those who have once used
it never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the
country prescribe it, and Clergymen
often recommend it from their knowl-
edge Of its effects.
