picnics but instead of receiving ap,
plause he heard misses. Here is some
of what Simpson said:
"Look how high prices affect the
farmer. 1t now takes load of pota-
toes to buy a pair of boots; a big steer
buys plain suit of clothes for every
day wear; it takes a good cow to buy
a plain overcoat; load of corn buys
caps and mittens; a load of oats will
furnish the corresponding suit of un-
derclothing. So that when the farm
er returns home from the country store
he carries on his person the value of a
big steer, a good COW, and thirty BUSH
els or more of corn, of oats aud of pc.
tatoes."

For the last forty-two years / have
been engaged in the livery and hacking
business. am greatly aided by my four
boys. We are muchl exposed to the
weather, and we have found ALLCoCK's
PLAsTERs of very great service. We use
them as chest protectors, placing one on
the chest and one on the pit of the stom-
ach. They not only ward off the cold,
but act as tonic.
We are frequently affected with rheu-
matism, kinks in the back, and pains in
the side; but one or two of ALLCoCK's
PLAsTERs quickly cure us. My wife and
daughter have been using ALbcocK's
PLAsTERs for weak back and think the
world of them. I have now been using
them for twenty years and always have a
