If there was any doubt in the mind
of any sufferer from Asthma in this
town as to the truth of the claims
made for DIR. Schiffmann's Asthma

was immediate; that the wretched
spasms were checked; that free ex-
pectoration was induced; that re-
clining position was readily assumed
and gratefully maintained; that the
sleep which followed was restful and
untroken, and that the morning
brought a clear head and feeling Of
delightful thankfulness which no
words are too strong to describe.
Abundant voluntary testimonials
prove that DIR. Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure not only givest instent relief In
the worst cases, but has positively
cured thousands who were considered
incurable. The remedy is now sold
by all Druggists in packages at SOC

A Trip to Dakota.

SepC0mDer SS, 1875.
EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:
DEAR SIR:-A trip to southern
Dakota has dispelled a great many
wrong Impressions I had. The l. &
D. Division of the g. NJ. s. st. P. Ry.
runs through southern McCook
county and through the center of
Lincoln county and s. & NJ. Division
runs just north of Lake and McCook
counties.
We stopped in Canton one day.
Canton is the county seat of Lincoln
county and has population of two
thousand and is on the Big Sioux.
We made the acq uaintance of Thomas
Thorson, ex-Secretary of State, who
took us by team over part of the
county. AS we drove along I was
surprised to see the large corn fields
with large and we'll ealed corn, and
here saw one of the harvester kings
at work cutting swath twelve feet
wide and binding it as easily as a
common six feet harvester. The
wheat was of good quality, grading
No. Northern. And here in lieu OF
bunch or buffalo grass, there grew
blue joint and what we call here
porcupine grass with as firm and as
thick sod as grows in dry land in
any part of Howard county. This
fact in itself is an idication that they
get plenty of moisture.
Leaving Canton we next stopped at
a station called Bridgewater where
we were met by Mr.. Todd who took
us by team to Salem, the county seat
Of McCook county. Here l saw large
and well cared corn, large fields o
wheat that were ready for the sickle
here as in the vicinity of Canton, The
wheat was of a good quality only
thicker on the ground yielding,
would think, twenty to thirty bushels
to the acre. The sod that has beer
broken is all in crops. saw no gone
back land as we saw in Howard
county few years back, wheat ant
corn all growing thick and tall up tt
the edge of the sod. Enroute iron
Bridgewater to Salem we saw larg
barns and good dwelling houses
good bridges over streams ant
smooth roads, Arriving at Salem we
note the six large elevators TO
handling the large wheat crops
Land here is valued at from eight tt
twenty dollars per acre, according t
Improvements and location.

any of them for sale as they thin
