CONSUMPTION CURED.

I was sick with hereditary con-
sumptionfor three years, and having
lost all of my immediate family, con-
sisting of father, mother, two broth
ers and two sisters, besides seven I'M
cles, nine aunts and several cousins,
who died with it, I was given up to
die myself. I met an old physician,
who prescribed for me. After TAX
ing one bottle of his medicine, my
cough stopped, and after taking
three bottles, I was well. The testi-
mony of prominent physicians, min
listers of the gospel and business
men as to the truth of the above will
be furnished upon application. A
sample bottle of the medicine will be
sent to any address upon the receipt
of ten cents in stamps.

HOGS AS MORTGAGE LIFTERs.

Some hogs, cattle, horses and sheep
never know the luxury of being fed
on French Artichokes, nor their own
ers the economy of same. They make
hogs cholera proof, so, instead of fat
tening buzzards, they help lift that
mortgage. This kind often yields
1000 bushels. Grow anywhere. In
vestigate today by sending for free
particulars, prices and freight rates.

insects on them to the state expert

to see if some remedy for their eNter-
mination cannot be found

in adjusting her saddle, and how she
did not hesitate to demand my obedi-
ence when she really needed my serv-
ices. Jim ordered the turkey placed
before Mary, and explained that her
mother had always carved; no one
knew so well as she how to select the
choicest bits and give tc each one just
the dainty morsel most coveted, and
now Mary must learn to do the same.
She took the large knife in her hand
and gazed at it, looking very dubious;
then she stuck the fork well into the
turkeys breast and made another at
tempt to use the knife.
She looked at her father a moment,
but his attention was altogether bent
upon selecting a choice bit of celery.
Then she gave me hurried, appealing
glance! l moved my chair little, but
said nothing. at length she turned to
me again and put her hand on my arm
and gently said:
81 say, Harry, believe men are
stronger and bigger and Drawer than
women. Won't you please carve this
for me?"
My last point was scored, and can
you wonder that l consider Thanks
giving the greatest day of the year, and
the American turkey the greatest of
birds? But here we call it the falcon
it sometimes catches mountain birds.
