The Many Distressing symptoms Which
Accompany This Ale ction-The Case of
Mr.. ODonnelL
Dyspepsia, a name given to nearly all
stomach and bowel troubles by old-time ply
sicians is really nothing more or lie IS than a
catarrhal condition of these parts. Dyspep-
sia means bad digestion, nothing else.
In chronic catarrh of the stomach, the
mucus lining of which is continuous with
that of the nose and throat, the secrerlng
glands become diseased and depraved, and
do not fulfill their proper functions, hence
the food lies heavy in the stomach and fer
ments instead of being digested. Foul gases
arise therefrom which distend the stomach,
causing weight, tightness, fatulence, bloat-
ing and discomfort. The heart and lungs
which impedes their natural action, hence
we have futtering or palpitation, and in
consequence of disturbed circulation and
respiration, coldness of e1tremities, de-
preston of spirits (nervousness). feeble
pulse. dizziness, ShortneSs of breath, hot
and cold flashes, etc, etc.

me the greatest trouble, says Mr.. j. j.
O'Donnell of Kansas street, Twenty-third

such attacks.

WHY is 1T?

There Are Two Plain and Simple
Reasons Why the Percentage
of Cures Under Drs. Cope
land, Hall & Byers
Is So Large.
These Two Reasons Can BE Rep.
resented BY Two Words, Skill,
Honesty - Statement of MIR.
Conrad L. Sanders,
'rwhy do such large crowds of people go to
Drs. Copeland. Hall and Byers. at 66 Sixth
avenue! There are plenty of other phy-
sicians, yet Drs. Copeland, Hall and Bvers
treat more patients than any five other ply
sicians in Pittsburg."
The answer is smnle. Crowds of people
go because to intelligence and common
sense the demonstration that these physi-
clans cure what they claim to cure is COM
plete, is satisfactory, is unanswerable. The
demonstration consists of the printed state
ments OF hundreds of well-known and reput-
able citizens.
"But Do Doctors Copeland, Hall and
Byers Cure All
Diseases and all patients and are they the
only physicians in the country who have an
acknowledged mastery over desperate dis
BY no means There are two fundamental
reasons why the percentage OF cures is so
wonderfully large.
These two reasons can be represented by
two words:
Skill Honesty!
First Reason.
In a large majority of cases that apply to
them for trea atment Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers are successful.
Because. in the first place, they are skill
full and experienced specialists and physi-
clans, trained by more than the usual col
lege routine, by hospital experience and by
wide and extended special and general prac-
:ice. They understand the diseases they
are treating. There is no guesswork about
their methods. They know what they are
doing.
Second Reason.
Second-They are successful because they
they believe to be incurable. If a case is in
durable they frankly say so; they recognize
the fact that there are diseases that they
cannot cure, cases which no amount OF
money would induce them to undertake,
and they would not by any means imperil a
hard-won reputation by endeavoring TO
treat cases which they could not benefit
Their patients have careful and accurate
can be done in their case. They are told the
truth.
DO Drs. Copelend, Hall and Byers Cure All
Cases?
Unquestionably, no.
In many cases the patients neglect their
medicines or discontinue their treatment
before the prescribed time and thus fail of a
cure. In other cases the disease had been so
long neglected-allowed perhaps, to extend
to the lungs or heart-that cure in SO far as
medical science goes is impossible. When,
for instance. catarrh has been allowed to ex-
tend so far that the lungs seriously af
fected, Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers do not
profess to be able to accomplish cure.

Drs Copeland, Hall and Byers have un-

cases. Their methods are the result of many
years of study and practice, and have been
demonstrated to be the most successful In
use at the present time.

Effect of Freezing on Fruit.

A New York farmer writes as follows:
II occasionally see the statement made
that the keeping qualities Of apples and
pears will not be injured by freezing,
provided the fruit remains undisturbed
until entirely thawed out. Without any
question where these fruits have acct
dentally frozen they should not be ex-
posed to light and warmth, or they will
rot almost us soon as they will thaw. IF
left to thaw slowly and gradually by O
natural change in the temperature and
without shaking them by moving them
about from place to place, they will
come out sound, for they will not decay
while in their frozen state. The best
thing to do when it is found they lave
frozen is to throw straw or hay over
them, whether they are in bulk or in
barrels, and thus delay the thawing and
make it as gradual as possible. But the
question will still remain. Has the freez-
ing and thawing injured their keeping
qualities? l maintain that it has, and
that they will rot sooner than would the
same quantity Of the same kind of ap-
pies or pears that have remainc;-sound
and unfrozen up to the same time. The
best keeping conditions are to be found
where the fruit is not only kept from
becoming frozen, but in a uniformly
cold temperature with but slight varis-
tons toward either extreme"

The pumpkins shown in the cut are
mammoth affairs, grown on the Pelham
farm, in Ulster county, N. Y. From all
acre to an acre and a half of pumpkins
are grown each year. These are planted
on sod with plenty of stable manure
and also some fertilizer in the hill. The
hills are twenty feet apart. They are
cultivated by horse and hand as long
as the vines will permit. In time Of
drought water is brought in barrels and
poured around each hill. The flowers
are pinched off, so that each vine will
produce but n big fellow. The largest
pumpkins yet grown there weighed 23S,
33l and BAT pounds, respectively.
Mr.. House, the manager Of the Pei
ham farm, is not satisfied with these
weights and proposes to reach 400
pounds next year. The raising and
marketing of this crop shows progress if
anything ever did, remarks the Rural
New Yorker, to which thanks are duo
for the cut. The lesson is that individ-

picked up by the fowls. Eggs can be
increased in size and richness by proper
food. Laying hens require variety of

but, as they drink only a small quantity
at a time. it must be kept in constant
supply, fresh and clear. A few fowls in
separate pens are much more profitable
and easily kept healthy than when large
numbers are confined under one roof.
The sooner you begin setting the hens in
the spring for the purpose of raising
chickens the better. Late chickens, as
a rule, fare badly. Pullets rarely make
good mothers. Three and f%our-year-old
hens are best. When clucking and not
needed for mothers, the quickest way to
conquer a setting hen is to confine her in
a box with only a board to lie upon.

The period at which fowls MAJ be fat

three weeks if properly managed should
bring the birds into fine condition. Iu-

fat. Birds in confinement fatten faster
than when allowed to roam about, and
grain feed is thought to accelerate tho
accumulation of fat.
Bonemeal is an excellent adjunct to
the regular feed. especially with rapidly
growing chicks and fowls that show
symptoms of leg weakness. 1t is usually
given in combination with meal, shorts.
&C.. in quantity, say a small handful to
n gallon of feed. It is a good plan to
feed a little regularly every second day
for Il fortnight when the birds seem out
of sorts. At other times a little ground
bone once a week is in order.

from the sale OF estrays, nearly $500,

paid over to the rightful parties, but
there still remains in the hands OF the
secretary quite IL sum of money from
the sale OF estrays the owners OF Which

to constitute himself a. court OF inquiry.
and by asking stockmen and others who
are familiar with the various brands,
endeavor to learn to whom to send the
money. In order to guard against mis-

rope nailed to the boards and carried
around the stalks will prevent their fall
ing. The exclusion of light will keep
the bees quiet and the warmth will save
the stores. rs bees, like other stock, eat
more when cold.
Another objection to wintering on the
summer stands is the loss of bees during
mild days. They fly out in the sunshine,
become chilled by the cold wind only a
few feet from the hive, and die of cold
because unable to return. The only OBJ
lection to this mode of wintering is LA
bility to attacks of mice. The same
danger threatens bees wintered in a Gel
lar or other place not made mouseproof.
The cornstalk front should be removed
and the hives examined at least once
during the winter, according to the
Philadelphia Farm Journal, authority
for the foregoing.
