SHE TELLS ALL.
The Whole Truth About the
Matter Comes Out.
All the Details Exactly as They Hap
pened.
And More Remarkable Thing Never Was
Known.

When a woman once makes up her
matter, she does SO with all her heart,
ana gives. without reservation or hesita-
ton, all the facts just as they occurred
1t is SO with Mrs. c. f. Hudson, who re-
sides in Brunswick, Me, from whose lips
fell as interesting story of extraordinary
facts, as newspaper writer ever cleaned
for the reading public.
Last year l was in such condition
that could not walk Or use my hands
at all My husband was obliged to lead
me from the bed to the table, and almost
carry me, I was so bad off.
Il was taken with the grippe in the
form of muscular rheumatism. 1t took
me in the right leg first, and the pain
was awful. 1t was about two years ago
that was taken, and l suffered all the
time up to last. fall, when began the
use of DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy.
81 had tried many other kinds OF medi-
zines, but steadily grew worse Last fall
I commenced with Nervura. My bones
were growing out of shape, and | could
not SO much as wiring out handkerchief,
or stir up a mess OF bread, or use my
hands at all.
Il took twelve bottles in all. After
using the first five bottles began to gain,
and now call myself well.
81 am so grateful that l have recon-
n,ended it to many persons and shall
continue to do So 1t seems almost a
miracle to my neighbors and myself, that
from being so terribly afflicted as l was
last fall, should be well woman today,
a space of only six months.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1895-02-28

'For year and half Il did not get
over one and one half hours sleep each
night, but after taking the Nervura l be-
gan to sleep and as l began to sleep, be
gan to gain, and after | had gained one
hours sleep more than l had before, was
greatly rejoiced.
MY husband has paid out hundreds
of dollars for my cure, in each kind of
medicine l could name, but nothing
helped me until l took DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy.
A wonderful story this, and yet every
statement is absolutely true No person
ever suffered more than Mrs. Hudson,
and no more wonderful cure was ever
effected than this marvellous cure by Dr.
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve RENE
dy. If this medicine will cure such ter
rible and extraordinary case, it will
surely cure anything and everything in
the line of rheumatism or neuralgia How
anyone can read about this remarkable
cure and not give DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy an immediate
trial is beyond the comprehension of the
writer In the face of such strong evil
dence of its curative powers, sufferers
who will not at least give it trial. de-
serve to continue to suffer. Particularly
should it be taken now as such diseas es
always yield more quickly and are cured
more readily in the spring.
Another reason why this grand medi-
cine can be taken with the utmost conf
dence, is the fact that its discoverer is our
most successful physician in curing ner-
vous and chronic diseases, DR.. Greene of
"a Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who can
be consulted free of charge by all who
choose to write him or call upon him.

The Farm House Cellar.

There is no earthly reason says the
Country Gentleman, why farm house
shouldn't have as good "a cellar as a house
in town 1t should be dry, frost-proof,
light-though for vegetables Il dark cellar
is preferable-and easy of access. To Sc
cure dryness, the foundation should have
under it, all round, good drain, with
an always open outlet. A drain round
the outside is also a good idea where there
is likely to be any water soaking in. The
surface should slope away from the house
in every direction. With these precau-
tions and good wall well laid in cement,
the cellar should be as dry as need be.
The bottom should be cemented, and a
a little gutter formed in the cement all
round the inside and short distance
from the wall will collect any water that
may get in by any accident. Such floor
may be scrubbed and thoroughly cleaned.
A good whitewash for the walls is made
of the best cement instead of lime. i
have seen several cellars built near the
seashore where high tides might rise
above the level of their bottoms, that had
layer of asphalt laid between the two
layers of cement, to prevent the seepage
OF water through the soil, affecting the
CELLAR.
In the North, precautions against frost
are necessary. The deeper the cellar in
the ground the less danger. The wall
above ground may be made hollow, or the
inside may be lathed and plasteled, Or
ceiled, SO as to form dead-air space.
Nothing keeps out cold or heat like the
latter The windows, of which there should
be several, should have double sashes,
fitting us tightly as possible, with a dead
air space between.
A good way to ventilate cellar is by
means Of chimney extending down into
it 1t certainly should not be ventilated
into the living rooms above. Access should
be had, both by inside and outside doors
and by stairs that are easy to climb. A
dumb-waiter will save many steps in
bringing up and carrying down those ar
ticles usually kept in the cellar in coun-
try houses.
The contents of the cellar are of the
greatest Importance. 1t seems a neccs-
sity, in our cold northern climate, that
some fruits and vegetables should be kept
there but only temporary supply should
be. The bulk should be stored in a cellar
in the barn, or in al outdoor root cellar.
Under no circumstances should any de-
Gazing vegetable matter of any kind be
suffered to remain an instant More sick
filth allowed to accumulate, than most
people imagine The cellar should be
kept just as clean and sweet as the parlor.

Farm Notes.

1t is said that the steam sheep-shearing
plant located at Casper, Wyo., is receiv-
ing liberal patronage on account of the
superior work done by the machines.
The operator is not able TO make as great
speed with the machines as by hand
clipping, but he is able to do much better
work taking off more wool per head and
leaving it in better condition and with
less injury to the sheep Sheep re-sheared
by machinery yield about three quarters
of a pound of wool, so it is said after
having been Manufactured
Because it is winter we forget the black
knot in our fruit trees, but the spores or
minute seeds develop then and fly aboard,
attaching themselves to other trees, we
are told. Saw off and burn all black
knot branches or where the tree would be
disfigured too much soak the knot in
boiled linsesd OIL taking pains that none
runs down the tree. This dries like paint
and fixes the dust or spores OF the parasite.
Beets, carrots and parSnips should be
seeded early after the frost is out of the
ground. Plow the land as soon as it can
be done, and harrow it down until very
fine. Seeds of carrots and parsnips will
not terminate If the land is full Of clods
or Jumps. A fine soil is important
Do not overlook pruning currants and
gooseberries before spring sets in. Cut
out all the old wood upon which the fruit
was borne last year, leaving only the
young, thrifty growth made the past
season. A little top-dressing of manure
will also be of benefit, and induce the
plant to make stronger growth next
season lit also keeps the roots cool in sum
mer, which the gooseberry especially de-
lights in.
