Some people in the world persist in clinging to old methods. There are men who still use forked stick in place of modern blow. There are also men, who, when they are troubled with disordered stomach or liver, resort to the old-fashioned violent remedies that rack and rend the whole body, and while they give temporary relief in the long run do the entire system great amount of harm.
 Modern science has discovered remedies infinitely superior to these old-fashioned drugs, that do their work by promoting the natural processes of excretion and secre- tion and gently correcting all circulatory disturbances. When man feels generally out of sorts when he loses sleep at night, when he gets up headachey and with bad taste i'll his mouth in the morning, when he feels dull and lethargic all day, when his appetite is poor and his food distresses him, when work comes hard and recreation Is an impossibility, that man, though he may not believe it, is pretty sick man. He IS on the road to consumption, nervous prostration, malaria, or some serious blood disease. In cases of this description a man should resort at once to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the best medicine for a weak stomach, impaired digestion and disordered liver. It is the great blood maker and purifier, fesh-builder and nerve tonic. It cures oS per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs and kindred ailments. Thousands have testified to its marvellous merits. It is a modern, scientific medicine that aids without goading nature, and that has stood the test for thirty years. Medicine dealers sell if

The exhibit of agricultural products
of various kinds was most excellent.
There was large exhibit of grain of
all kinds, potatoes of every variety,
fine corn. and as fine garden vegeta-
bles as can be found anywhere. In all
these lines there were large number
of entries. Owing to the fact that it
was scattered around among so many
booths it did not make the impress
sion upon the public generally as
would have been the case had the ex-
hibit beer collected at one place.
Take into account the short notice
the farmers had in which to prepare
for it, it was of a most satisfact-
DRY nature.
The fruit display was also an excel
lent one, the apples and grapes being
as fine as can be found anywhere, in
dicating the possibilities in the fruit
line for Blue Earth county.
