ment Endorsed by all Ply
sicians.

When catarrh of the head gets to a
place where the discharge runs down
the nasal passages and drops into the
throat it has reached the danger point.
If you wait until it goes that far don't
let it go any further-for the next place
it attacks is the bronchial tubes and the
lungs. Catarrh undoubtedly causes more
consumption than anything else, and like
consumption it must be treated through
the blood. Local applications at best
can only serve to work out the dis
charges. They don't get at the root of
the trouble, and sometimes, quite often,
in fact, they irritate the inflamed outer
surfaces and aggravate the disease.
''Blood Wine" passes into the blood and
purities it.

Prosperous Aroostook.
Aroostook County is now OVERFLOW

Aroostook County is now Overlooking
with prosperity. The big farmers of
the county have counted their receipts
for the year 1901, and are pleased there
with. Farming is made cheerful by
the contemplation of the sure rewards
that come to the man of intelligence,
brains and good management. The
people of Aroostook, where no drouthS,
hurricanes or floods ever come, are
better off than their forefathers, who
cleared the primeval forests and open
ed up an agricultural area unexcelled
in any portion of the country. TO
show the sort of results that have been
secured III 1901, the statistics of five
farmers in one town in the county,
Plesque Isle, are here given:
+. E. Parkhurst & Co. raised 800 tons
of hay, 10000 barrels of potatoes and
5000 bushels of grain. These products
are worth at the market prices there:
Hay. -, 100; potatoes, $4,000; grain
81, 800: total, $50, 200.
Lyman f. Hayden: 145 tons of hay,
sl.3o5: 1000 barrels of potatoes. sll, 200:
1000 bushels grain, $500: total. Sl3,305.
Charles f. Hussey: 100 tons of hay,
5000: 5000 barrels of potatoes, $4,000;
l.5o0 bushels of grain 800; total, ST.
$50.
Frank Higgins: 125 tons or hay. 81,
125: 5000 barrels of potatoes, 5000:
5000 bushels Of grain, $1,000; total,
S10,625.
Walter Stevens: 100 tons of hay,
5000; 5000 barrels of potatoes, $1,000;
800 bushels of gain, $50: total. $3.50.
From the most Trustworthy source it
is estimated that the farmers of the
county have received from potatoes up
to the present time the sum of s. SOB,
1913. Two hundred thousand dollars
will barely cover the amount received
from cattle, horses and sheep $4,000
for the wool clip, $4,000 for railroad
ties, which the farmers have hauled
from the cedar swamps: the pork raised
was worth, 100000; poultry and eggs,
$4,000; apples, 100000 wheat and
other grains. 100000, and potatoes
saved for planting are worth 800, 600
The hay crop was worth S4S0,00O, one
half of which has been pressed and
shipped out of the county. The grand
total aggregates 81, 253, SOB.
Three roller process -four mills are
making as fine a quality of flour as any
from the West, and will grind 20o0o(
bushels of wheat for the year.
There are many farmers who have
received more money for their last
years crops than their farms will sell
for.

One of the many people who has been
