Sarsaparilla prescribed by physician.
ii is a common experience to see a COM
plete cure" follow the use of few bottles
OF this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, il is specific for all forms of
blood disease. If a disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood, Dr. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly on the blood, re-
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla is the radical cures that result from
its use. Many medicines only suppress
disease they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in a vol
canic eruption that eats up the body
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root. 1t
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. 1t makes the root good and
the fruit is good. 1t gives Nature the
elements she needs TO build up the broken
down constitution-nott to brace ii up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

When a father writes that yours is the
best medicine in the world" you can
allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine so praised, cured a loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
Orrick, Mo-, writes in these strong terms
"Dr Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best med
icine in the world My daughter had
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind and was obliged
to remain in n dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM
pletely."

year ago. Chicago receipts were 81
cars, Al of which were OF contract

caused slight reaction. Sales caused
a temporary decline to 955s @953zc, but
the Liverpool news was too strong to
be so easily disposed of and the offer

prices shot up again and this time
May advanced to 96azc before stopping.
Then it slowly declined. No real weak

last hour May fell to 953ac, but in
the last few minutes trading rallied
again and closed steady at 957s 096c.
There was fair trade in corn at q
narrow range of prices. The market
was inclined to sympathize with the
wheat advance at first. but the govern
ment crop figures. 1,9030000G0 bush
els, put damper on buying later and
shut off the advance. Shorts were
good buyers early. May ranged from
28 @29c to 2S24c, and closed unchang-
ed at 28%c.
The feature in oats was the govern
ment crop report, but it had a different
effect from that in corn. The figures,
$50, 768 geo bushels. fell 22,000,000 bush
els short of estimates. There was fair
buying by commission houses and

as a whole was small. Prices ruled
firm at slight advance. May ranged

May closing a cent higher Nearly ev-
cry trader on the floor was expecting
decline, but the sensational reduction
in Liverpool stocks and a sharp adj
vance in prices there, after a weak
opening, Illustrated the uncertainties
of wheat trading by sending prices up
and keeping them there. Corn was
oats were dull and show but little
change in values. Provisions declined
21b M10c. The opening in wheat fur
nished a genuine surprise to traders.
1t was generally believed that follow
ing the heavy liquidation of last week
aud the closing out OF long lines by
many of the more prominent bulls that
the market was in for period Of re-

calculations and caused general
skurrying of shorts for cover May,
which closed yesterday at FfSc, open
ed to-day al from 951s to 95asc, with
very little Offering even at those fig
ures. So active was the competition
for an hour that 9638c was paid before
enough wheat was forthcoming to
check the enthusiasm OF buyers.

spending we'll 70 yesterdays decline

news was the decrease for January of

The stocks there now amount to 1,512,-
Gee bushels, or only two weeks sup

strengthened by New York adviees Of
good foreign buying of wheat futures.
