Everybody knows that the life Of thu
Ave-age physician 10 . hard one. He i
often compelled to ride great distance,
through mud and rain for q merely nom.
inal fee. 1t il not fit nor proper for US to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list of medicines he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
Ills of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. ]. Wright, Business Agent Evening
Herald, Erie, Pa, says: "DR. HART
MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit l received from the use of your
medicines, PERuNA and MANALIN.
One bottle Of each placed me square on
my feet, after a sickness of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement of the use Of
your remedies the cane was dispensed
with. and in . week I was perfectly WELL"
Mn. Ellen Maynard, Oswego. Potter

healed, and the two large ones are not
more than half - large q they were. I
am feeling quite well. The people say

Mr.. c. II. Harris. New vienna, Ohio.
writes "Our little girl was paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and We resorted
to everything we could hear Of for relief.
but she appeared to get but little better.
Hearing Of PERUNA we concluded to try
It, and will say it has done her great
deal Of good-the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per-
sons and found it q success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, We
don't think anything else can ut all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house 10 never without

years old, and can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERUNA cured her."

EXPOSITION,
EXHIBITS FROM ST. TAM.
MANY PARISH.
GOVERNMENT BUILDING,
Louisiana Department,
Nov. &c, 1885.
EDITOR ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:

EoIroR ST. TAMMANY FARMER:
The grateful remembrance OF my
boyhood days, so intimately ASSOC
ciated with all that appertains to
"cld St. Tammany" parish. was
very wildly impressed upon mo to-
day by the receipt of a box from my
old friend, Mr.. R. Galatas. of Madi-
sonville. containing magnificent
pscans. raised by him; and a splen-
did branch, to which chung several
hundred luscious oranges. from
another time-honored friend, Mr.
Louis Cardone,i of Madisonville;
and still another, from Mr.. john
Adams, near Madisonville; thus
evidencing what our "piney woods
country" and the industry of our
people can do. The same have
been exhibited by me with much
qualification and pride. and at
tract much attention and general
commentator, and I trust that
other citizens of our parish will
follow in the patriotic steps of the
gentlemen above ed, and chow
to the world what st. Tammany
can do.
The American Exposition is an
established success, grand and per-
feet in all its rami6catiohs; it is
managed upon strict and we'll or
gained business principles, every
branch working in perfect har-
mony; the.Board of Commission
ers are accomplished AID practical
business men. systematic. judici Gus
and in perfect accord with the
management. Nothing remains
but for our people to rally to the
support of What may termed a
grand struggle for the commercial
supremacy of the world. The North,
East, and great Northwest are fully
awake aud aroused upon this great
and vital point. Let not our be-
loved South be found wanting, but
let us, who are even more interest
ed upon this great issue, put our
shoulders to the wheel. and do our
part in forwarding. to a grand sue
cess. the object of the American
Exposition"
Very respectfully,
WM. BULLrrT,
Secretary and Assistant Commits
sioner. Louisiana Department.

A STORY FOR MAJOR BURKE

An exchange ssays: "Major E
A. Burke. of the New Orlean.
Tines Democrat. proposes. as ,
means of bringing about more har.
monious relations between the
North and South. to print q South.
ern newspaper in New York, fo1
circulation in the North, and to be
the medium of Southern sentiment,
etc." There is no mistake that
New York presents . fine field for
missionary work, especially among
the newspapers. If the South will
send into the overripe field some
gentlemen like Major Burke, the
Inter-O Ocean will heartily second his
efforts. We. however, warn the
Major that he will have uphill
work. The New York editors are
q good deal like the Beaver family
up in the mountains of Penney l.
vania. The good old pastor of the
province had long labored with old
man Beaver and his boys. but they
continued in their wicked ways.
Finally . rattlesnake bit Jim, and
the old pastor was sent for in haste
to help Jim over the border. In
his prayer he said: "Oh! Lord, We
thank thee for rattlesnakes; send
one to bite Bill, one to bite Pete
and Dan. and an awful big one to
bite the old man. for nothing but
rsttlesnakes will convert the Bea-
7er family."-Chicogo Inter- Ocean.
