G. NJ Delaney, the we'll known and pop

when behind a pair of fancy stepping
horses. His next best enjoyment in this
line is talking horses. Mr.. Delaney Is
enthusiastic over the outlook for the COM

A Good-Sense Book For Sensible Planters.

Those planters who wish the latest in
formation about Seeds, presented in
straightforward, matter of fact way, will
be gratifed by the practical good sense
evidenced in Gregory's Seed Catalogue for
1896. The purpose of this book is to help
the planter In the choice of seeds best
adapted to the conditions OF his particular
locality, and 1t probably contains descrp-
lions OF greater variety and more new
varieties OF seeds, than any other cata-
logue. 1t gives plain, useful information
In place of chromos. and hard facts instead
of fanciful descriptions. 1t is work
worthy of the reputation of the firm that
publishes 1t, and one that cannot fail to
win the approval and appreciation of all
farmers and gardeners. Any one who
plants seeds can obtain n copy free of
postage upon application to j. j. II. Greg
ory K Son, Marblehead, Mass, who are
the Oldest and largest seed growers in
New England, and one of the best known
hrms In the entire country. Their bust
ness was established in 1866, and it's growth
mas been continuous and healthy. There
Is probably no section OF the country
where Gregory's Home Grown" Seeds are
not sold and planted.

hours the nervous system works incessant-

dition, and prolonged insomnia leads in
every case to prostraton. and too often to
dread insanity. The mischief that results
from weakened nerves is much greater and

Mrs. j. A. Sample of 1853 Broadway. New

indigestion and poorly nourlshed nerves
Il should add that my granddaughter,
Vera Hafleigh. was SO thin and puny at
the age of ten as to cause us the greatest
anxiety. We had no difficulty in inducing
her to take Paine's celery compound. To-
day the roses bloom in her cheeks, and I

New Use For Petroleum.

Varied as have been the products &C.
cured from crude petroleum, the list is en-
larged In most valuable way by Anglers
experiments, by which this chemist has
sought to secure the antiseptic and nu-
tritive elements of petroleum entirely free
from other properties. His preparation
known as Anglers Petroleum Emulsion has
for Its base tasteless odorless oil, with
which Is compounded the hypophosphites
of lime and soda. 1t Is being used with
great success by physicians in pulmonary
and other wasting diseases who say that
1t entirely supersedes Cod Liver Oh.
The effect of this remarkable remedy
seems to be to instantly stimulate diges-
ton. revitalize the blood. and thus build
new tissue, practically forcing the disease
germs out of the system.
