st. Louis, Feb. 20, 1900.-This is tc
certify that Ihave suffered for 30years
with kidney and bladder troubles and
have been treated by over a dozen
different physicians and have used
many so-called sure cures, with only
temporary relief. One bottle of the
Texas Wonder, Halls Great Discovery,
has given me more relief than all the
remedies | have used in the 80 years,
and / think the second bottle will
make a permanent cure. Respectfully,

AT the Kansas City Shorthorn sale
Tuesday two two-year-old heifers,
bred by S. P. Emmons at the Long
Branch Stock Farm and sired by Vic
toria Baron, sold for an average OF
1915, each. This places the Long
Branch Stock Farm herd as best in
rank of any stock farm in the West.
The farmers of Audrain county are
being given practical illustrations
of the necessity of handling the
best stock on their grazing lands. 1t
pays the best by long odds. Two
hundred dollars a head for fine cattle
may cut a big hole in an ordinary
farmers bank account, but in two or
three years when he begins to get his
returns from the investment the
breach is soon filled to overlooking.
