A Farmers Dream.

1t may seem a little strange for
some people to know that a farmer
ever dreams, and yet he does dream.
In fact. it is not unfrequent to find
one who even loves to. dream, and who
is permitted to look into the future
and make great speculations In crops
and stock, &c. But we wish to call
your attention to one particular dream.
This man had been sick for many
months, confined to his house and bed
He had almost despaired of ever gett-
ing around on his farm again, until
one stormy night, the rain that beat
upon the roof had ratified him into
sort of doze or sleep. 1t was then
that he saw or had glimpse OF what
his future might be. He saw in that
dream very large building and in
that building he saw many things
which astonished him; they we're
strange; he had never seen them be-
fore. At one end Of the store be saw
four men busily engaged in counting
pills, putting them in boxes, and
wrapping red papers around them.
He then was told that he had been
sick for a long time and that by TAX
ing just one box of these pills that he
would be entirely cured, and could
once more plow the fields and till the
soil with pleasure, and profit, and
without pain.
For the general information of our
many thousands of readers we would
state right here that the man to
which the above refers lives near St.
Paul, Minnesota, that the dream or
vision, which ever you may call it,
made such an impression on his mind
that he actually ordered one dozen of
Saur's Vegetable Blood and Liver
Pills, tina; he took them according to
directions and was cured This man
further states, that in that dream he
saw into every part of Saur's Drug
and Book Store, that even up stairs.
on the second floor, he saw a great
large stock of the most beautiful Wall
and Window Papers, fine decorating
papers, which looked nice enough to
put on fairy houses. In the cellar he
saw large quantities of oils, great stacks
Of many different colored paints. var
nishes, &c.
On the main or first floor, where he
saw the pills put up, he also saw many
people busily engaged in buying diff
ferent kinds of medicines, window
shades, brushes, nice books, papers,
&C., in fact he could see most every
thing and anything here, and it almost
seemed to him at first to be manner
of museum. He noted that extremely
great pains were taken to keep every
thing nice and fresh, that the good
health and welfare of the people were
held sacred rather than the dollars
and cents. That all attention was
eiven to those who called here (and
there seemed to be no end to the visit
ors), and their best interests consider.
ed. It was all this which gave the
dreamer such explicit confidence, and
which induced him to make the ex-
pertinent, and we are proud and pleas
ed to say that he to-day, with thous-
ands of others, rejoices in having found
Balm in Gilead, in having his health
restored, in having that peace and hap
piness on this earth which good heath
alone can give.
And this man does not keep the
cause of his rejoicings to himself, but
upon every occasion offered he takes
delight to enlighten his fellow man,
and the consequence is much good
is growing out of this farmers dream.
