to several. who have tried it and been
cured
Here Is the voluntary testimony OF a
most estmable lady, that she was cured
by DR.. Greene's Ncryura blood and nerve
remedy.
1t is Il wonderful tribute to the great
value of this medicine in curing disease.
There is large class OF people who,
while not exactly sick, suffer from eX-
treme nervousness, feel weak and tired,
lack their old-time strength and amhi-
tiOn. They do not eat or sleep well,
wake mornings tired, with dull feeling
head and no inclination to take hold OF
their work.
TO all such we would recommend DR..
Greenes Nervnra blood and nerve
remedy, for it will certainly gives
strong nerves and vigorous bodies in
fact 1t will make you strong and well.
This medicine Ia recommended by
doctors 1t is not a patent medicine, but
the prescription of the most successful
living specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, DR.. Greene, OF 81
Temple Place, Boston, Mass. He has
the largest practice in the world, and this
grand medical discovery Is the result of
his vast experience. The great reputa-
ton of Dr. Greene is II guarantee that
this medicine will cure, and the fact that
he can be consulted by anyone at. any
time free of charge, personally or by
letter, gives absolute assurance OF the
beneficial action OF this wonderful medi-
icine

How to Whiten tho whiskers.

A farmer in Bucks county, with black
hair and mustache and three days
growth of snow white whiskers. drop
ped into Ninth street barber shop, and
in the course of conversation with the
loquacious artist it appeared that the
farmer had for years shaved himself with
jackknife He thought that perhaps
that had something to do with the Pc
culiar hirsute contrast, and the barber
promptly confirmed his opinion. 1.-The
pulling of dull razor on the roots Of
the whiskers," said the barber, de
stroys in short time all the oil and
pigment that gives color. Most men
have too much regard for their nerves
to keep it up long enough to turn the
beard entirely white, but many partial,
ly gray ones are due to that cause. A
keen blade improperly handled is equal
" harmful, as close scrape of the skin
results in numberless seed warts, which
can only be removed by a surgical oper-
Ation. "-Philadelphia Record.

Extracts.

Whatever politicians Of any party may
say, national wealth is not national
health unless 1t is distributed. Is there
not something wrong somewhere, and is
not this wrong something, our present
industrial system which enriches the
few at the expense of the many?
Many of the great thinkers have al
ways been of the people and for them
maintaining the doctrine that the right
of human being to live, and to live
properly, outweighs any rights of
property.
Puritanism was the first political
system which recognized the grandeur
of the people as a whole, and 1t brought
into England new conception of social
equality.
The Horatian philosophy Is, Get as
much out of life rs you can and laugh

Farmers and Stock Companies

The board of agriculture desires to
caution the farmers of Maine against
purchasing shares in any stock company
for the purpose of obtaining any improv-
ed animals for breeding. If the farmers
of any community wish to purchase any
animal let them correspond with some
of those breeders or importers who ad-
vertise so extensively in the agricultural
press, and then send some of their own
number to fully investigate all the con-
ditions and ascertain IT they agree with
the written claims before purchasing,
dealing direct with fist parties. Above
all things avoid the plausible stranger,
whoever he may be, who comes among
you with an animal claiming it to be
from some famous breeding establish
ment, which he proposes to sell to you
at very high price in shares, which
may and may not represent cash out
lay and accompanied with the taking
terms of future payments with no cash
down. The history of all such com
panies formed for any purpose in Maine,
as far as we know, has been success
sion of of.disastrous failures.
