Would cause great discomfort and
loss, but fortunately il Is seldom
known. A vast amount Of misery
Is caused at this season, however,
by impoverished blood, poor appe-
tite and general debility. These
conditions may be remedied by en-
riching the blood and toning the
stomach with Hoods safsaparilIa
This medicine seems to put new life
into the whole physical system,
simply because Of its wonderful
power to purify, enrich and vitalize
the blood, create an appetite and
invigorate the digestive functions.

Soute Bend, Ind, was opened at the
residence ofMr. Glandon In Woodlawn
place Sunday morning ct 5 O'Clock
and the liberated birds after circle
started in a northeasterly direction
toward the Indiana home Of theil
owner.
The pigeons rose from the basket,
when opened, as one body and with
but little hssitancy shot off In the
right direction and they started as II
they were going somewhere, too.
The morning was an ideal one and
what little wind there was was CON-
ing frem the west. The homing In
stinct Of this particular bird Is won
deriul and the speed with which they
make their flights is remarkable.
One of the best performances BY

most disastrous which has ever CO.
CURED In Binghampton. However,
the Kilmers resumed business next
morning, though not at the old stand,
which is q heap Of s%mouldered ashes.
While the fremen were yet pouring
water OF the burning Ohenango street
establishment the Kilmers were ar
ranging to do business somewhere
else.
That this great industry might moi
be crippled for a moment, through the
courtesy of other prominent hrms
and citizens, the large factory and
adjoining buildings on South street
were vacated for the benefit Of the
Swamp Root people, and possession
WAS taken Immediately, and here, by
Monday, July o, this new temporary
factory will be turning out Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, in
quantities of about 10000 bottles per
day, and In two or three weeks time
the full capacity Of more than four
times the amount will be produced.
The immense demand for Swamp
Rost will thus In no way be inter-
ferred with.
On the old site, with adjoining
property which has just been purchas-
ed, will be erected Immediately an
