NASAL VOICES, CATARRH AND
FALSE TEETH

A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twittlng they get about the nasal
twang, and yet it is fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere and
the universal presence of catarrhal diff
fculties.
But why should SO MANY Of our wo-
men have false teeth
That is more of a poser to the Eng.
lish. 1t is quite impossible to account
for it except on the theory of deranged
stomach action caused by imprudence
in eating and by want of regular exer-
else.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by mal-nu-
triton induced by deranged stomach
action. The condition is a modern
one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough
and consumption by abundant and
regular use of what is now known as
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy and Log Cabin sar-
saparilla, two old fashioned standard
remedies handed down from our an
cestors, and now exclusively put forth
under the strongest guarantees of pur-
ity and efficacy by the world-famed
makers of Warmers safe cure. These
Two remedies plentifully used as the
fall and winter seasons advance, to-

ier's Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal men,

freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and if neglected, inevitable
consequences. pneumonia, lung
troubles and consumption, which SO
generally and fatally prevail among
our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, Of Salem, Henry
Co., Iowa, served four years in the late
war and contracted a disease called
consumption by the doctors. He had
frequent hemorrhages. After using
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy, he says. under date

Lever VS.. Oeep Cultivation.
Soil cultivation for this season Is
about over. Mistakes with the crop of
1883 VIII have to stand. We can only
remember them and resolve that we
will cut them away for the crop of
1889. One thing is sure. Tho effects
of n good or bad system of cultivation
will never be more plainly visible than
they now are. How did you cultivate
tho cornP Read the following note
from a western correspondent and
tell lis what you think of it:
'Last season was as dry as num-

ing rs juicy as melon. Last year
most of the corn when full-grown
stood TO 5 feet high, this season 8 to
l2. There has been precious little time
between showers for its cultivation,
and the man who used light surface-
stirring implements, and slashed along
ut the rate of six or eight acres a day,
went over his fields three or four times
and kept tho weeds down until the
corn was large enough to smother all
that came up. Now his corn field is free
from weeds, the stalks are big and
rank. and bid fair to yield an immense
crop. On tho other hand, the man who
cultivated with the deep-running
horse-killing gouges managed to get
over his fields about once, and the
ground is matted with crab-grass,
smart weed and other trash, while the
corn seems to be somewhat affected
