Few people can understand the feel
ings of the J,ugilist as ne is being counted
out. He hears the seconds ticked off.
He struggles to rise, but struggles in
vain. He has lost the fight.
There are some who are making a
losing fight for life that can appreciate
this; those whose lungs are diseased.
With every tick of the watch, they know
that they are being counted out.
The great question is how can quick
rally be made to continue the fight
against disease? Many who have asked
that question have found satisfactory
answer in the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t cures bronchitis,
obstinate, dcep-seated coughs, hemor-
rhage, night sweats, emaciation, and
other conditions which if neglected or
unskilfully treated may find a fatal
termination in consumption.

bottle took did me so rluch good that had

twelve bottles. Now do not look like feel
like the same man as was year ago. People
were astonished and said they did not think 1

entirely cured of disease from which had it
not been for your wonderful Discovery would

made for the Discovery" which no

Condition of The CrOns.

The most flattering reports of the sea-
son have been received this week, all cor
respondents reporting favorable weather
and a marked improvement in the condi-
ton of all crops. The rains, in most
localities, were timely, as were also the
higher temperatures that prevailed.
Harvesting of the hay crop was hindered
to a slight extent by showers, but this
was more than cOunterbalanced by the
rapid growth that was made by all vege-
tatiOn.
Favorable reports are received regard
ing rye, some of it having been cut, some
In proper condition for cutting. The
yield has been satisfactory. Oats are In
fairly good condition, except that there
is some complaint of their lodging on wet
lowlands in the north. More sunshine
and warmer weather are responsible fol
more favorable reports regarding the corn
crop. 1t has, in many instances, started
to grow well and shows improved color
The general opinion as TO fruit is that
it is In a fairly-satsfactOry condition,
The dropping of apples and peaches still
continues In few localities, but to less
degree than previously. At most points
the dropping has ceased and apples arc
making excellent growth.
