A Remarkable Cure
BY THE
ElectropOise.

"A most remarkable case came
under my observation short while

together with other troubles, had
brought her 10 such state Of mind
that she attempted suicide, this
hove was prevented For more
THAI two years she was unable TO
sleep scarcely any at all. Other
remedies having failed to do eny
good the Electropo'se was used
with almost magical results. She
slept like 4 blb' ali night the first

has a good appetite. Has no; TAX

other drug. 1t is wonderful y
These and all other statements
regarding the Elec,rOpoise are
vouched for By good men. Mr..
Meek will verify this and has writ

Unless about len thousand men,
mainly professional men-iawyers,
doctors, editors, preachers and all
other classes including the writer
are very much mistaken, the E!ec-
tropoise effects cures and gives re-

Mr.. McBee Makes a Mistake.

Last week the REGISTER informed
our sportsmen that wild ducks were to
found on the Potomac river. Mr..
George McBee thought he would get a
few of them, so on Saturday he took
his gun and went down the river. Just
opposite the cave he saw pair of fine
big ducks pretty close to shore, lie
cautiously sneaked along the bank, and
got within gun-shot without having
frightened the game. Then he blazed
away, and the fowls gave faint quack
and rolled over dead Mr.. McBee Sc
cured the ducks, which were plump
and big, and proudly carried them
home. They weighed lO3 pounds
and he felt justified in Dragging lit
tie about his successful hunt. 1t is a
cruel thing to relate, but later in the
day it transpired that he had shot a
pair Of Mr.. Larry Browns tame ducks.
1t was hard thing to lose the sports
mans keen delight and then to pay
for the ducks beside.

To Farm, or Not to Farm.

Daniel W. Reichard, who owns a
large farm at Lappans, Washington
county, has quit farming in disgust.
He says farming is no longer profitable
and he is sorry he did not quit sooner
He says he has been trying to farm
scientifically and made special study
of wheat growing. He says he can
not grow wheat for less than $l3 an
acre. At the prevailing price of %
cents bushel or thereabouts, he says
a man is poorer the more he raises
and the richer the quicker he gets
away from wheat. On his farm he
has realized from II to 81 bushels Of
wheat to the acre, and in the palmy
days of $3.50 wheat there was profit
in raising it, He thinks the sun will
rise and set for many generations be-
fore the palmy days will return.
Mr.. Edmund ]. Lee, of Shepherds
town, says he has had enough of farm
ing, too. Last years operations, he
says, left him just $l5G the loser. He
is going to sell out and try some other
method of getting an income from MS
place.
! On the other hand, at a meeting OF
9 farmers club in Prince George
county, Maryland, last Saturday Mr..
VIM. Snowden read an essay upon the
subject of farming now and IN the
past. in which he showed that the
farmer of today had as good a chance
to make a good living and with econ
omy save money as he ever did. de
also showed the progress IN agrlcuf
ture in the past forty years aud gave
some very interesting history upon this
question. 1t was the general opinion
of those present that the farm, if rur
economically and industriously by tn
farmer, would be as profitable bust
ness as any of the different bushes
pursuits Of today.
