Can be counted on
to cure Catarrh DIR. Sagc's Catarrh
Remedy. It's nothing new. For
% years it has been doing that very
thing. 1t gives prompt and com
plete relief but you want more
than that. And you get it, with
this Remedy there's q cure that
is perfect and permanent. The
worst chronic cases, no matter of
how long standing, yield to its
mild, soothing, cleansing and heal
ing properties. "Cold in the Head "
needs but a few applications. Ca
tarrhal Headache, and all the
troubles that come from Catarrh,
are at once relieved and cured.
You can count on something else,
too-$5OO in cash.
You can count OF it, but it's
more than doubtful whether you
earn it.
The proprietors of DR.. Sage's
Remedy, III good faith, offer that
amount for an incurable case of
Catarrh. Don't think that you
have one, though.
They'll pay you, if they can't
cure you. That's certain.
But they can cure you. That's
Just about as certain, too.
Can YOU ask more?

Bnyfng q Cow

The good cow is seldom bought The
buying of a cow to take the place of
one that is dry is simply a chance in a
lottery. for she must be tested by milk
ing before her worth car be discovered.
There is bnt one sure way of securing
cows, and that is to breed for them. a
method which will not only lead to
larger profits. but also greatly tend to
lessen contagious diseases. When one
buys a cow he may bring disease in his
herd. The great scourge of dairymen
-abortion-is due more tn the selling
off of dry cows and buying of fresh
ones from all sources than tn any other
cause, as the new cows spread the dis
