Cummings SubsOll Pillow.

We have been shown by A. B. Cum.
mings his patent on "Subsoil" Plow,
issued from the Patent Office March 8,
1896. He informs us he has already
received over twenty letters from all
parts Of the United States in regard 10
it, and expects to start out in the early
spring TO dispose of the territory except
a part of Virginia, North Carolina and
East Tennessee, which he refuses to
sell at any price, as he has deter
mined that his own people shall have
the benefit of his invention.
Mr.. Cummings is not a patent vender
but an old practical farmer, 70 years
old, and informs us that he hunted the
United States over for a good subsoil
pillow but failed to find one and set to
work and made one which seems to be
well nigh perfect, as it embodies
strength, simplicity and durability
and will not cost over 81 per year to
keep it in good repair, He has already
sold quite a number in Washington,
Greene, Sullivan, Hamblen and sur
rounding counties.

Taken In Time

Hoods S%arsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which
If allowed to progress, would have
undermined the whole system and
given disease n strong foothold to
cause much suffering and ever threat
en- death. Hoods Sarsaparilla has done
all this and even more. 1t has been
taken in thousands of cases which
were thought to be incurable, and af.
ter a fair trial has affected wonderful
cures, bringing health, strength and
Joy to the afflicted. Another important
point about Hoods Sarsaparilla is that
its cures are permanent, because they
start from the solid foundation of puri.
fled, vitalized and enriched blood. But
1t is not what we say but what Hoods
Sa%rsaparilla does that tells the story.
