Price Reduced.

Anticipating the removal of the
Stamp Tax at no distant day, the
Magnetic Medicine Co., of Detroit, as
will be seen by their new advertise
ment that appears in to-day's paper,
have reduced the price of their med
icine from one dollar per package to
fifty cents, and when twelve packages
are ordered at one time, and five dol
lars paid for the same, they issue
written guarantee agreeing to refund
the money if the full course of treat
ment fails to effect cure. We have
no doubt the Magnetic Medicine will
have a large sale in every section of
the country, as few medicines are sold
at asl ow price, and what is especial
ly in its favor is the guarantee of its
effecting cure. The medicine is
sold at all Drug Stores, everywhere.
Guarantees are issued in Owosso and
county by all druggists.

THE INCONSISTENCY OF MAN.

Scheming, diverse, and manifold
advertisements Of worthless goods will
never attract profitable customers,
only meritorious articles such as
Swayne's Ointment for skin diseases
are recognized and sought after by
the people. Real worth always re-
ceives its just merit. A man may
profit for a while by imposing upon
the public, but it is only question

Stone in the Bladderis q very dangerous all

dout, N. Y. Another striking case is now added
to the list. Mr.. Peter Lawler, Of Dalton, Mass,
states in a letter to DIR. Kennedy that he had
been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years,
and had consulted at different times seven physi-
clans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of
the pain had been worked. Towards the end Of
last january Mr.. Lawler called on DIR. Ken

He decided that Mr.. Lawler should first try the
"Favorite Remedy" 50 as, IL possible to avoid an

WoMAN'S TRIUMPH.


(From the corresponden Of the Kingston, n. Y.
FreeRdR)
The case of Mrs. Edward Myers of Rond-
out, New York, furnishes an apt illustration
of womans power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual way
for erysipelas of the hand " ithout benefit. Not
until her hand had become mass of putrefed
flesh did she turn to Dr. Kennedy, proprietor
of the "Favorite Remedy" for help.
He at once informed her that it was impos-
sble TO save her hand-it must be amputated.
She received this terrible intelligence quietly,
declined to take ether. stipulating merely to
hold her husbands hand during the operation,
and underwent the painful process without
moving a muscle or uttering groan. DIR.
Kennedy then gave ''Favorite Remedy freely
to cleanse the blood and prevent the return OF
the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and
rejoices in her great deliverance.
''Favorite Remedy" is fast becoming
trusted household friend in all cases of Female
Weakness and diseases of the blood. One

1t is claimed by some that the Hereford
and some other breeds of cows will, if fed
equally as well. make as good but
ter and as much of it as the Jersey. But
the dairyman who has kept both the Here
fords and Jerseys will testify to the con-
trary; and that as butter COW the latter
is without rival. One reason for this is
found in the tendency of Herefords to lay
on flesh instead of giving .:,iik Feed them
as high as it is possible to feed the Jerseys
and they will roll in fat. while the amount OF
milk would differ but little from that
given on ordinary feed. But the Jersey.
on the other hand, for every additional
amount of food given her will return il in
the shape of milk which is much richer
than that given by other breeds. In fact.
the quality of her milk is SO superior to
other milk that it sells for two cents per
quart more i'll the large cities. The
Jersey does not lay on fat when Civ
ing milk, but on the contrary
is lean and scraggy. 1t is not her mission
to furnish beef, but dairy products for the
people. and for the last named purpose
she is admirably adapted. The dairyman
who conducts dairy for the manufacture
of gilt-edged butter. with other than Jcr-
sey cows, is as much behind the times AS
a man who uses a hand-scythe instead of
a horse mower. and for several reasons.
viz; lst. with the same chance and the same
feed. the Jersey will produce more butter
than any other breed. 2nd, She gives
richer milk and therefore it is less work
to manipulate it and extract the butter.
Sd. the quality of her butter is of the very
best and brings the highest prices in the

Suddenly faint snofe came from the place
where the heads of meeting sat. The wor-

fact then appeared, that Elias Warner was
asleep. When Thomas Brown heard the

his head quietly back, with his forehead on
his hands, and his hands on his cane
The Friends saw there was no hope of yet

Why Meeting Didn't Break.

known as the ''IIeads Of Meeting" shaking
hands with each other. In any Friends
meeting house on First-day an observer NAV
see the worshipers sit in perfect quietness-
excepting when there is sermon or a prayer
until one of the heads Of meeting extends
his hand to the other, who clasps it and shakes
it. Then everybody gets up and goes home
without word Of dismissal. But until the
hand-shaking occurs no Friend would think
Of moving from his seat.
