 <sSsS4ktess<Ss $sS size of chestnuts that
 SSS cost him about two dollars apiece, and corn each ear. of which cost as mary pennies to grow as there were grains of corn upon it. He was very fond of inviting his former city friends out to his farm and took especial delight in showing them fine pair of English setter dogs that he owned, the female 5eing busily engaged in rearing litter of nine little ones. If . ftiend admired these dogs the following con- versation was sure to follow:
 MT. And so you think Nettie and Ned 0 fine pair of dogsa
 Visitor-The finest I ever saw; magnifi- centi
 MT. Glad you like them. How would you like to have one of the pupsl
 Visitor-Oply tco delighted, &c.
 MT. -ITl jrst make a memorandum of that and send you one when they are over nursing. They are worth fifty dollars apiece and it is enly to an old friend, &c.
 As 8 consequence the friend goes away happy.
 One day Mir. --'s wife, just after such ConVereat1On Wn1cn Eno naQ OVernearQ, called him into the house and said:
 "John, how many puppies are there?"
 ''Why, nine of course"
 "Do you have any idea how many people you have promised puppies in the past two weeks?"
 "Wsll, ne, not exactly"
 "Wel, l do. Just twenty-eignt. Now how can you give away twenty"eight when you only have nine yourselff"
 "Oh, bother," he replied, '1 don't mean to give away any of the pups, but friend who admires them would think me'a mighty mean man if didn't even promise them a pup"
 And so it is in many things in life Per- sons and business firms go on making all sorts of promises that they never can keep and never intended to keep. Promises are cheap and they sell lots of goods and get lots of favors. Proprietors of patent medicines are particularly prone to scatter all manner of promises broadcast, not knowing and not caring whether they can keep them Not so, however, with the Scotch Oats Es- senee company and it's great remedy for brain and nerve diseases. Their remedy keeps every promise made for it, and like a good friend improves upon acquaintance They do not claim the earth. They do not say they can cure every disease of every or gan in the body. They simply say that Dr. Buckland in 1858 wrssted from nature one of her greatest secrets, and that Scotch Oats Essence will cure all forms of nerve and brain diseases. And the cures it has since made have proved it. No promising of pups there, but actual, honest and straightfor- ward medical truth.
 When they say that over eight thousand doctors have used it in nerve cases and re- ported favorably upon it, they mean it and have the proof in their office. It has cured and will cure neuralgia, nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, nervous diseases of women, headache, brain and nerve exhaustion, ner- vous debility, impotency and the like. A postal card sent to 160 Fulton street New York, will procure you free their great book on brain and nerves. One dollar per bottle From all druggists.
 Every bottle of Scotch Oats Essence manufac- tured by the company will now have on it's paste board wrapper $1o,OoO forfeit guarantee that it does not contain g particle of opium. morphine. chloral any other narcotic.
