A VOICE FROM TIE PULPIT.
What the Minister Himself Says
Regarding His Wonderful Case.
Read Every Word Of His Remarkable State
ment. Il is Gospel Truth.
Rev. John PettingiIi, Pastor Free
will Baptist Church, Rockland.
Maine, Says

For wears was troubled with most alarm
ing and painful symptoms of dyspepsia, in
digestion, heartburn, headache, and sleep
lessness. During these many years of ILL
ness consulted the best of authorities on
the diseases of the digestive organs, spec
ialists of great renown pronouncing my
case hopeless. some asserting that my
stomach was infested with cancers. l have
tried countless numbers of so called med
icines that were recommended to me or
otherwise brought to my notice. Like
drowning man catching at straw
1 would buy bottles after bottles
of Sarsaparilla and other medicines l saw
advertised in the papers, giving them all
a thorough trial. All of these, although
highly spoken of by persons whose integ-
rity could not doub', proved worse than
useless in my case, and | kept growing
steadily worse. l became at last convinced
that the numerous physicians l had con-
suited were right, and that my disease was
indeed incurable. Giving up all hopes,
the only course left for me was to reduce
the pain to a minimum. This was OBJ
tanned by eating as little as would keep
body and soul together, and abstaining
from all substances containing fats, sugar
and starch. Some months since a kind
friend gave me bottle of Red Seal Sar-
saparilla. At first would not take it as
had lost faith in everything, believing
that God alone could bring relief. Being
told, however. that this Sarsaparilla was
prepared in peculiar manner of its own
Whereby certain Injurious principles con-
tanned in most all such preparations were
effectually eliminated, l at last, but still
without much hope, gave it trial.
fervently thank God that in his goodness
he has allowed me to find this precious
medicine. Finding relief with the frs.
bottle obtained more, and kept taking il
until today | am completely cured and as
we'll man as ever drew the breath of life
l am convinced of the superiority of the
Red Seal Sarsaparilla over all others have
tried, and consider it my solemn duty to
tell what / have told in the foregoing, sc
that others like myself suffering from dys
pepsia or kindred diseases of the digestive
organs may be cured BY this wonderful
medicine.
This state ment is made of my own free
will and without any solicitation from the
company owning and manufacturing THU
Sarsaparilla. Rev. JOHN PErTINeILL.

Rights Of WheeImen.

On the rights of wheelmen Underwood
in his road book says:
at is well settled that bicycles and tricy-
cles are carriages within the meaning of
the laws, and their riders are entitled to the
same rights and subject to like duties and
liabilities as the riders and drivers of car
riages and other like vehicles, and may go
upon those parts of the road where other
vehicles can, and on the other hand should
not 20 where others cannot. Wheelmen
have their rights and their duties when
travelling on the highway"
He quotes from court rulings as follows;
1.-THE highway is established for the con-
venience of travellers, and the use of it for
any game or sport that actually exposes or
puts 10 hazard the personal safety of the
traveller thereon Is not justifable and tub-
jects the party thus using the road impr op-
erly to the payment of all damages occa-
stoned thereby to travellers"
As a bicycle is a vehicle like the others
this decision applies to it:
persons in light carriages for the con-
veyancc of persons only have occasion and
of course right when not expressly Limited
by law to travel at high rate of speed SO
that they do not endanger others. But all
foot passengers, including aged persons,
women and children have an equal right to
cross the streets, and all drivers of teams
and carriages are bound to respect their
rights, and regulate their own speed and
movements in such a manner as to not
violate the rights of such passengers.
Carriages cannot 60 upon the sidewalk
and parts of the way especially constructed
for foot passengers"
"When persons meet each other on
bridge or road travelling with carriages
wagons, carts, sleds, sleighs or other vehi
Giles, each person shall reasonably drive hi
carriage or other vehicle to the right OF thu
middle of the travelled part of the bridge o.
road, so that their respective carriages O.
other vehicles may pass each other withou
| interfe renee"

FUNGI AND FUNGICIDEs-A Practical Manual
Concerning the kungOua Diseases of Cultivat-
ed Plants and the Means of Preventing their
Ravages. BY Clarence NJ. Weed. ID. S. G {,
Professor of Zoology and Botany, New iiamp-
shire Agricultural College New York. Orange
Judd Company. 222 pp 90 illus, r2mo., cloth,
81. paper, so cents.
Until within a few years no practical
remedy was known for most of the blights,
smuts and rots that injure crops. In a
practical manual, Professor Weed has now
brought together in easily accessible form,
the essential facts concerning the injuries,
life histories, characteristics and preven-
tives of plant diseases. The book describes,
in simple but accurate terms, that any one
can understand, what fungi are, and shows
how they are propagated and destroyed.
Formulas are given for every mixture the
application of which, by spraying
or otherwise, has proved helpful.
and exact directions are furnished for
applying these fungicides, either alone
or in combination with insecticides. The
work is divided into five divisions: Part /,
treats Of fungi affecting the larger fruits
the apple, pear, ounce, plum, cherry al d
peach, and considers all forms of smut,
mildew, rots, rusts, leaf and twig blights,
fruit spots, black knot. yellows, ETC., with
which they are affected. Fart ii, CONSIDERS
fungi affecting small fruits-the grape,
currant, gooseberry, raspberry and black
berry, and strawberry. The chapter de-
scribing the black rot of the grape
and giving directions for preventing
its ravages. is alone worth many
times the cost of the book. Part III,
considers fungi affecting shade tres,
ornamental plants and flowers. Part ~.
treats of fungi affecting vegetables. such as
the bean, beet, cabbage, celery, onion. Gu
cumber and melon, potato. sweet potato
spinach, tomato, etc. While each of these
is fully considered the chapter on onion
smut and potato blight is particularly
valuable. The real cause of potato scah
is described and the cure for it given. In
Part ", fungi affecting cereals and forage
crops are treated, including oats, whest,
Indian corn, sorghum and broom corn,
alfalfa and clover.
