Ten Thousand Men Wanted.

Men who desire work can get it in the
Red River Valley Of Minnesota and North
Dakota in the early spring. During the
past season, owing to the large crops and
scarcity of help. farmers were unable to
thresh their wheat and do the regular fall
blowing.
/ hreshing machines have been running
in various parts of the valley all winter,
and hundreds o. acres OF grain still remain
unthrcshed.
TO pillow and seed the fields in the spring
of 1892 will require the labor Of at least
10000 men in addition to present help.
The sons Of farmers in the oyer-crowded
East should consider this opportunity to
get work and pay their expenses while in
veStigatlnG the chances IN one OF the finest
agricultural sections Of America. Many
of The well-to do farmers of the Valley be-
gan life there as laborerS or renters.
The land is plowed, seeded and harvest
ed by machinery, and the large area awais-
ing cultivation requires an army or men.
The soil is easily worked, and farmers wish
to put in large crops.

It's the only way to use some
things, but it's a bad condition
for a man Or woman. It means
disease. Take DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
That means health. It invig-
crates the liver and kidneys,
puriies the blood and cleanses
and reneWs the whole system.
For all scrofulous hunors and
blood taints, and even con-
sumption { or lung-scrofula), if
taken in time, it's a positive
remedy. It's a guaranteed one.
In all diseases of the liver,
blood and lungs, it's warranted
to benefit or cure, or the
money is refunded. No other
medicine of its class is sold,
through druggists, on this be-
alter plan. You can judge
why. You only pay for the
good you get.
