OIL NEWS.

The Carter Oil Company's No. 2 on
mention of which was made in this
column yesterday, is still attracting
considerable attention. The well was
probably reported a little high in yes

least doubt but that it will be good
one. A conservative estimate of the
production of this we'll is placed at
about rs barrels a day. 1t is pretty
hard to tell what it is doing when il
is flowing through the eight-inch, and
until it has been tubed and put in
proper shape an accurate report of its
production cannot be given,

ported to be making about Is barrels

since it was drilled to the top Of the
sand last week.
This we'll is located some distance
ahead Of deelopments, and it il be-
lieved that when ii has been drilled
deeper that it will make a good big
well. The company will commence
work on it some time the early part of
the coming week and will drill it

ately, heals the rritated surface and

licited testimonials we have lately re-
ceived:

The consequence is that while he is
better fed and better housed, he is not,
IS rule, as healthy man as his brother
working man of European countries. More
over, like all Americans, the American
working man is prone to disregard his
health and frequently even takes pride in
abusing It. 1t rests with American wives to
protect their husbands in this respect A
little watchfulness On the part of the wife
will frequently save her husband from a
long spell of ill-health and possibly from
sorne fatal illness. When a man feels "out
Of sorts it is because his digestion is dis
ordered or his liver is torpid. Dr. Pierce s

correct these disorders. 1t is the great
blood-maker and flesh builder 1t restores
the appetite, makes digestion perfect and
the liver active. It purifes the blood and
all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asth-
ma, weak lungs, lingering cough, splitting
of blood and disease of the throat and nasal
cavities. Thousands have told the story of
its wonderful merits in letters to DR.. Pierce.
