TRUTH VS.. FALSEHOOD

out of Jenkins field, and that Mr.. w, ID.

place thereof
The following certificate will explain itself
PRUD,HoMME CITY, LA, Aug. u, 1890.
Mesars z. Latreyte Il Co, Agents for VIM
Deering &, Co.'S Reapers and Binders.
Dear Sirs-The Deering Reaper and Binder
bought of youi is giving entire satisfaction
AT first it ran very heavy, but since your ex-
pert came and properly adjusted the parts, it
runs as light as any. In fact, / can now cas-
lily pull it with three horses.
Yours, &c., w. ID. JENKINS.
In reference to the so called trialin Jenkins
field, we will say that no one acquainted with
the management of the DEERING MA
CHINE was present, while the other machine
was run by experts.
In addition to the above we will add, with
out fear of contradiction in the-least partic-
ular, that thaocsborne was running on dry
ground and ent at most 2s feet while the
DEERING was running in mud and water,
and at its full cut, which is i feet.

The stomach is at once most delicate and a

medicine that will help the stomach so
promptly and so effectively as Pe-ru-na. Its
action is very simple, and it leaves no bad eff
fects whatever. Especially in summer time
it is a valuable remedy to have at hand. For
