A DOCTORS PHILANTHROPY.
Thousands Afflicted by Chronic Gatarrh
Undar Free Treatment

Thousands Afflicted by Chronic Catarrh
Under Free Treatment.
The first day of Novem Der, 1903, DR..
Hartman gave his consent to take
charge OF the treatment of 10000 cases
of chronic catarrh free CT charge. This
announcement was at once publ shed
in all the leading papers, when the
applications came pouring in from
nearly every state in the Union until
something over 1000 names are al
ready on his books as regular patients.
There is still room for 5000 mole
Those intending to apply should do
so without delay, as the number will
soon be made up. With large num-

correspondence, which costs the pa.
tiehts nothing, except the necessary
medicines, which are obtained at the
nearest drug store: To become pa
tient it is only necessary to send name
and address, describe symptoms, and
minute directions as to diet, sanitary
regulations, and other advice will be
sent promptly. Patients are allowed
to report progress as often as they
please, but are expected to do go at
least in one month from beginning
treatment. Ibis arrangement brings
to the homes of people afflicted with
chronic catarrh, whom circumstances
prevent from employing a catarrh
specialist, the services of one of the
best known medical experts on the
subject of catarrh in this country.
Wherever DR.. Hartman is known
the name on Pe-ru-na has become
household word. 1t is safe to say that
no medicine in existence is used by so
many millions as Pe.ru.na. This i
especially true of this time of the year
when the people are liable to the cat.
arrahal affections coughs, colds, la
grippe, etc. Peru ma has cured more
cases of chronic cstarrh than all other
medicines combined. The great ma.
jorlty of those who use it buy the
remedy themselves, use it according
to directions, not even reporting their
case tn DR.. Hartman until after they are
entieely cured. But now that limited
number of cases can secure the per-
sonal attention of DR.. Hartman free of
charge, it is not to be wondered at
that many prefer to do so. Pc ru ma
never fails to cure catarrh when prop
erly used.

company are sending free to any adj
dre2s book on chronic catarrh which
gives the latest treatment for catarrh,
coughs, colds, la grippe, bronchitis,
and all other affe, tions of head, throat
and lungs.

Feeding Wheat to Livestock.

Now that wheat is selling for less
money per bushel than corn, the
science of feeding wheat to advantage
to live stock is being carefully studied
in many wheat-producing sections,
There is of couse no doubt that wheat
is excellent feed for horses and other
stock, but owing to its high price here.

About the Farm.

Recent rains have put the fields in
this section in fine condition for pillow
ing and farmers generally are taking
advantage Of it.
Farmers in Central Texas are hop
ing for a mild winter. as livestock
generally are in a bad condition to
stand cold weather, and there is little
food to offer the poor creatures.
The by-produets OF the farm are
often of more value than anything
else. A shovelful of manure is, if de-
posted in the proper place, sometimes
as valuable as its equivalent in grain.
To destroy weevil in corn it is not
absolutely necessary to have the bins
air tight when bisulphide of carbon
is used. as good results may be OBJ
tanned by simply sprinkling the liquid
over the grain.
Implement trials demonstrate moth.
ing so far as they pertain to the an
nual fairs. Much depends on the land
and it's condition. An implement that
is we'll adapted to one farm may prove
unsatisfactory to another.
Now that the hogs are being fed for
winter and will soon be strengthened,
give them plenty of corn. A good hog
should increase one pound in weight
for every five pounds of grain con-
sumed, provided it is allowed variety
of other food.
The French do not scald aud scrape
their hogs when dressing them, but
place the carcasses on straw and set the
straw on fire. Although the skin
blackened by this method, yet it is
easily made white by washing. They
claim that the meat keeps better when
the hair is so removed than if done by
scalding.
Trees are not desirable on the lawn,

A Tonic That Quiets tina Nerves

Not all the sedatives and nerve
foods and narcotics, in which this age
OF medical discovery is 80 prolific, can
restore quiet to the nerves permanent
ly, so long as the tranquility of those
sensitive organs are disturbed by ir-
regular digestion. When the food is
not adequately digested and assimi-
lated, a tonic or invigoratlng effect is
not exerted upon them, they remain
weak and unstrung, and nightly re
pose is disturbed and fittul. Begin
ming at the fountain head, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters reforms disordered
condition of the stomach and pro-
notes general vigor, in which the
nerves share in common with the rest
of the system. A regular action of
the bowels and liver, resulting from
the use of the medicine, also conduce
to this good effect. Malaria, rheuma
tism and kidney complaint - all
nerve disturbing mplaiDts-are re-
moved by the Bitters.

Will We Heed III

How many farmers in this section
have been caught by the late drouth
with more stock than they have land
to carry? How many have just as
much stock as they can feed in good
grass or crop yearY If the drouth will
induce farmers to put on the brakes
to stop and study the subject and
reduce stock in quantity and improve
in quality, possibly it will be bless
ing in disguise. But with a majority
it will be a very bitter lesson unless
we have mild winter and an early

Distemper in Horses

A few words at this season on the
subject of distemper may not be out of
place. Various reasons have from
time to time been advanced as to the
nature of the disorder. These differ
ences of opinion sometimes hinge on
the locality of the affection, and some
times on the period of its appearing.
Because so few escape it altogether
II has been considered, like measles
and kindred affections In the human
family. a constitutional disease, the
susceptibility to a second attack being
DESTROYED by the first. Again it has
been supposed that when there was
some innate disease, aud that when
this had reached maturity, as it were,
II was thrown off by maturation, and
that the animal afterwards, as a rule,
manifested an Improvement in its con-
stitution. In confirmation CT this
theory many writer's urged that in
nunerous instances young horses APP
narently thriftless continued in such a
condition in spite of scientific treat
ment. until attacked by the disease we
are describing, when all traces of sick
ness vanished, and perfect health and
the much desired buoyancy of animal
spirits succeeded the former sluggish
ness and obstinate lack of condition,
AS opposed to this theory. the fact
NAV be mentioned that the horses of
warm countries never have the stten

than our own. Hence we are inclined
TO agree with those writers who have
treated strangles as catarrhal rather
than a constitutional affection. Pro-

COTTON CIRCULAR.
McElroy & Co. on the Condition Of the
Market

New ORLEANS, Dec. 12,-McElroy
& Co. say: Flu 'ures-The general ex-
pectation of reaction after the long
decline was not entirely disappointed
as Liverpool closed steady at an ad-
vance of Ga, although spot sales were
rather small, the total today being
1000 bales 1t soon became evident
that a great portion of the shorts had
taken in their profits on the late de-
cline, as the old bears assisted the i'm
provement which followed the recov-
cry in Liverpool. 1t is very plain
however that they have little faith in
the maintenance of higher prices, for
as soon as there was even the breath
of a rumor of renewed agitation of the
anticipation bill, selling became free
again, and the market, which had
previously advanced Z points, closed
within to points of last nights fig
ures.
One of the immediate causes of the
softness toward the closing was the
absence o. any advance here in spots,
in spite of the sales of $4,000 bales, of
which $3.50 were from factors tables.
1t might be said on the other side,
however, that the market was really
1.16c higher than yesterday, but as
sales yesterday had been made below
official quotations, the demand today
only brough back current prices to the
official basis, so that not change could
be made in the latter.
Receipts still continue on the same
liberal scale which has been such
drag upon the market for many
weeks. The total at ports today was
$4,000 against Al 900 last year. This
port expects $4,000 to 10000 tomorrow
against $4,000, and Galveston is also
expected to show heavy movement,
as the receipts at Houston today
footed no over $4,000 bales,
