of DR.. Aver 'Sarsapa.illa each spring, and

MARY LINGARD. Woodstock, Ont. =.
Dr.:Ayer's Sarsapari1la has won its way
TO every corner Of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried it and
who know they were. cured by the use of
the remedy. There is nothing so strong
as this personal testim ony. 1t throws all
theories and fancies to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock of expert
ence challenging every skeptic with a
positive II knoD." Ayers Sarsaparilla
with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores.
ulcers, boils, eruptons and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others.
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa.
rilla usually results in a complete cure.
Mary Lingard began with bottle, and
went on to course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rllla. When she was cured she realized
that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it. So she took couple
Of bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are tn ousands of similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, a little
book OF 100 pages which is sent free by the
]. c. Aver Co., Lowell, Mass. Write for it.

A. FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

It IS not a. common occurrence that a
friendly word should be the means of Civ
ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice t
carried. This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-o1ie she
finds herself so active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman. and looks back on tl1irty-six
happy. healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago Ihad great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that,
there were tumors growing on it, and they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief I was at that time earning nv
living as tailoress, but for five Years,
between the pain in my side and the
blisters I was in constant misery, and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
OF relief; fortunately for me, however, a
friend advised me to take DR.. Ayers Sar
sapari1la, and finally persuaded me to take
regular course of 1t. When I first com
menced taking the sarsapari11a my side
was so painful that could not fasten my
dress, and for time I did not get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per
severe and relief was sure to come, and
come it did. This happened, as say,
thirty-six years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years
I have passed through the most critical
period of woman's life without any par
ticular trouble, and to-day, at sixty-one
years of age, am active and strong, and
able to do days work that would upset

Reform in Wagon Building.

A New Yorker says That roads are
principally made bad and cut up by
wagons rutting the tracks, and thus
rutting is the result of wagons being
made to a uniform gauge and running
in the same track. Provide that, after
a date to be fixed, no wagon carrying
over 1000 pounds of freight shall be
used unless one axel shall be at. least
six inches longer than the other, and
the, tread not less than three inches
The use of such wagons will compel
the removal of rocks or other obstruc.
lions from the road track, and will roll
down, keep smooth, and level the track
and be the. most effective agency for
good roads that can be devised. Good

EASILY CULTIVATED.
Some Reasons Why Sweet Peas
Should BE Planted Everywhere.


Sweet peas are among the oldest and
most common Of the flowers that are
cultivated. Their beauty was recog-
nized by our foremothers, who called
them 'painted ladies'" andindeed they
do have very human appearance. The
late years have brought increasing ap-
probation of these flowers, and the old
painted ladies have been Broken into
inn umerable sorts, covering almost
every shade from lemon yellow to a pur-
pie that is almost black. They come in
pure white and in variegations of many
kinds, and the size of the flowers has
been greatly increased:
They are, of easiest culture and should
be planted as early as it is possible
to work the groundin the spring. Even
if they are nipped by the frost after
coming up they are not hurt, and the
peas will lie in the ground for weeks
without injury. They should be plant
ell in moderately firm soil, and do bet
ter if the soil is allowed to get hard
about the roots. A row of sweet peas
50 feet long will produce flowers for all
purposes from early in June until killed
by the frost if the flowers are kept
picked off as fast as they fade, for when
seeds are allowed to form the plant
dies. AS cut flowers there is nothing
better or easier to grow.-Farmers'

Rest IL None Too Good.

No dairyman should be satisfied with
any but the best; of course, they cost
more, but. the cost of feed for a good
COW is no more than for poor one,
while the returns are many times great
err; neither is the care and attention
any more. It is fact that feed, labor,
care and attention are disproportionate
in a poor animal when compared with
a good one. 1t is not necessary that
COWS should be "thoroughbreds'' to
SECURE good results; excellent animals
are found among natives and grades,
and it is these that should be sought.
The great. object, should be to secure

How 1t Helped the Farmers.

"The beauty of good roads was ex-
emplified Saturday, says the Quincy
1ll.) Herald, when the farmers of
Riverside and Ellington townships
came to town with loads Of hay and
straw and produce, and the farmers of
other townships had to stay. at home.
The Riverside and Ellington township
farmers came to town via the Locust
street telforded boulevard. The farm
ers of the other townships had to re-
main at home, because the roads were
too muddy. TO start meant to be mired,
and, SO no start was ]. made q And all be-
cause of lack Of enterprise III providing
