Serious results often follow a strain,
especially when Il affects the back, and
few people are so liable to strain as those
who, are lifting heavy loads of various
kinds, from day to day. The teamster
rarely ever overtaxes his strength. Fa-
miliarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts so as not to put an excessive
burden on himself. But with the farmer
it is different. He is lifting loads of such
varying weights and under such varying
conditions that he is very liable to lift a
little too much some day, with injurious
results. Many serious affections of the
great organs of the body originate In a
strain. 1t was so in the case of ii. X. W.
BENTLEY, of Towner, North Dakota, A
strain resulted in serious trouble with the
liver. How he recovered and was enabled
to feed seventy head of stock during the
winter, let him tell himself:

in my back and shoulders by lifting
heavy weight. After time, liver trouble
came on, which so weakened me that
could scarcely lift my hand to my head.

Sailor. and Their Grievances.

The grievances of sailors examined by the

or greatly exaggerated. But there are plen-
