GERM THEORY OF DISEASE.

The Position It Occupies and Attcn.
ti0n It 10 Receiving from Scientific
Men.
The germ theory Of the origin of
disease is q subject which is at pres
ent attracting the attention Of scien-
tific men in oil parts of the world.
The chief Importance of the germ the
ory, however, is not that it shows the
origin Of disease but that 1t points out
the best means to be employed to eff
feet q cure. The germs of disease,
from whatever source they come, are
lodged and developed in the blood. The
blood, Of course, by circulating to every
part of the body, is IRE to scatter dis
ease throughout the system whenever
1t is impure, the weakest and most sus-
ceptible parts being the first to suffer.
1t is because of s%crofulous ta:ats n the
blood, for instance, that the skin be-
comes covered with eruptions. 1t is
Tactic acid in the blood which causes
rheumatism, and it is because the
blood does not supply proper nourisl-
ment to the nerves that people suffer
with nervousness. The cure for all
these diseases, and Of many others,
can only be effected by purifying the
blood, and absolutely destroying all
germs Of disease. No Intelligent per-
son can doubt that Hoods Sarsapurilla
has actually and permanently cured
many thousands of cases of ~scrofuia,
rheumatism, nervousness, dyspepsia
and other troubles, and, as its proprie-
tors claim, it is all because this medi-
cine purifies the blood. AS u matter
of fact, Hoods Sarsaparilla is the only
reliable blood purifier that is before
the public to-day, and persons afflicted
| with impure blood or any of the great
variety Of ailments which it causes,
will be most certain to find relief and
cure in Hoods Sarsaparilla because 1t
possesses this peculiar power to puri.
| fly, enrich and vitalize the blood, and
destroy the germs Of disease.

Ii Beats North Dalkota,s Yield by
Four Millions.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20. = The Orange
Judd Farmer this week publishes the
result of a special investigation COW
ering the wheat crop in 100 counties in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. The crop
was harvested ten days to two weeks
earlier than usual, and grain is heavy,
with some complaint Of quality from
smut and rains while in shock. Thresh-
ing is in progress and estimates of
yield covering nearly 80 per cent of the
wheat area Of the three states shows
a rate considerably in excess Of what
previous conditions indicated. In Min
nesota the best yields are in the north
west eastern and southern counties,
ranging from twenty bushels in Rice
to twenty-seven in LIE Sueur, but there
are a few counties of smaller yields,
like Cottonwood at ten. The aver
age for the state is eighteen bushels.
The best yields in North Dakota are in
the Red river valley, running from
nineteen in Trail to tWenty-siX in Cav
alier, but they are smaller in the Jim
river valley, as shown by eleven BUSH
els in Dickey to thirteen in Barnes.
The state averages 17.3. In South Da-
kota the heavy yields are in the south
east, as eXampled by eighteen bushels
in Clay, twenty in Lake and twenty
five in Union, but in the Jim river
country, where the bulk of the crop
is raised, the rate OF yield is low, from
six bushels in Hand and Clark,
to eight in Aurora and Bowdle, and
nine in Davidson. The state average
is twelve bushels. These stateG esti-
mates are declared to be liberal, and
on the basis Of the acreage estimated
in June, which was nearly a million
acres in excess Of that of any other
recognized authority and 50O,00O larger
than the official estimate for the great
crop OF 1891, the crop by states would
be: Minnesota, 100000; North Dako-
ia, 50000000 South Dakota, $780, co.,
1t is claimed that this is a very lib
eral showing and that there is no war
rant whatever for estimates which
have been current crediting these
states with 100000 bushels and more

Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, while Ne
braska, Wisconsin and Michigan re-
port an Improvement. Tobacco has
suffered much from drought in Mary
land, and continues poor in Ohio. In
Kentucky, while doing well, it needs
rain. The rains of the latter part of
the week greatly benefited tobacco in
Virginia, and it is reported improving
in Tennessee. In North Carolina the
general condition of the crop is excel
lent.
Over the eastern portion of the cot
ton belt, too. much rain has caused
rust and shedding, while in Central
Texas and Northern Louiciana there
has been a slight Improvement. In
Southwest Texas cotton is suffering
from drought. Picking has continued

Southern Mississippi picking will be-

eTing a small area of the state. Re-
ports from the corn fields are unusual
ly variable, being largely colored by
local conditions as to rainfall and con-
dition of the soil. Late-planted corn
on naturally dry land has suffered ma
terial damage from the effects of
drought. Early-planted corn, especial
ly on bottom lands, is maturing in
good shape and much of it will be ripe
enough to cut within a week. With
timely rains to develop the late plant
ing, this state will probably produce
a fair average crop of corn. If the
weather remains dry and hot, pushing
the crop too rapidly to maturity, the
quantity and quality will be reduced
considerably below the normal yield.
But without another drop of rain for
month, the aggregate of corn will
most likely be more than double the
output of last year. Pastures and
late potatoes need more rain. Thresh-
ing returns indicate a notably heavy
yield of timothy seed. Oats yield far
