Three Years After.

Mr.. Boies says in 1899: "In the
spring of 1896 made a public state
ment of my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
of terrible aching in the kidneys,
in the small of my back, in the mus
Giles of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs. During the years that have gone
by I can conscientiously say there have
been no occurrences of my old trouble.
My confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills
is stronger than ever, not only from
my personal experience but from the
experience of many others in Akron
which have come to my notice"

ney medicine which cured Mr.. Boies

st. Jacobs Oil,

In cases where bronchitis has become
chronic from want OF proper treatment in
the earlier stages, there is nothing so good
as DR.. August koenigs Hamburg Breast
lea, in conjunction with which is strongly
advised the use of st. Jacobs Oil as an out
ward application, along the, front of, the
throat, from close up under the chin to well
down to the top of the chest; the one rem
edy assists the other, and as intended, they
work in complete unison. The wonderful
penetrating power of st. Jacobs Oil en-
ables it to reach the adhesion of foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes and
which makes breathing more and more diff
hcult. As these adhesions become inhamed
and enlarged, st. Jacobs Oil causes such ad-
hesions to break away, making expectora-
ton easier and more free. DIR. August
Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly
and very hot, soothes and heals the parts,
is comforting and quoting, stops the cough
and relieves the breathing. This manner
of treatment land there is no other two
cessfully) reaches the difficulty from the
outside and the inside at the same time
st. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad-
hesion, and assists DR.. August Koenig'
Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then
both remedies act in unison in healing and
curing: The above remarks apply with equal
force IN cases of asthma, Group, whooping
cough, enlarged tonsils, and all bronchial
affections. Every family should have St.
Jacobs Oil and DR.. August Koenig's Ham
burg Breast Tea always in the house in or
der that they may be promptly used in the
hrst stages. Often the maladies develope
with wonderful rapidity and complications
take place with equal suddenness.

On the Verge of Bright's
Disease.-A Quick Cure
that Lasted.

CASE NO. 30.611-C. E. Boies, deal
er in grain and feed, sos South Water
Street, Akron, O., made the following
statement in 1896, he said: Ever
since the Civil War I have had attacks
of kidney and bladder troubles, decid-
eddy worse during the last two or
three years. Although I consulted
physicians, some of whom told me l
was verging on Bright's disease, and
I was continually using standard rem
edies, the excruciating aching just
across the kidneys, which radiated to
the shoulder blades, still existed. As
might be expected when my kidneys
were in a disturbed condition, there
was a distressing and announcement
difficulty with the action of the kid
ney secretions. A box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured at Lamparter &
Co.'S drug store, brought such de-
cided change within a week that I
continued the treatment. The last
attack, and it was particularly ag-
gravated, disappeared"

Lionel ArdOn.


One of the new novels ef exceptional merit,
builded along historical lines, is Lionel Ar
dom" by Malcolm Dearborn. Like many
of the novels of the time it takes its name
from that of the hero. The scene is Eng
land and the time that of Henry VIII, and
through to Queen Elizabeth. The hero, Lion
ell, is the son of Lord Ardon, who is killed in
a duel with Lord Raven, and his death is
quickly avenged by the young son. The
story follows the entrance of the hero into
liant descriptions Of I'll" the gayeties and fes II
ties of those times. One of the principal
characters is Lady Jane Grey, who is, in fact,
the real heroine. Thisis the only novedthat
has ever brought to the sympathy and ad,
miration of story readers that woman of
purity and exquisite womanliness. Pub

THE AMERICAN FARMER.
he Is Gaining in Intelligence, Mas
terry of the Soil and Fitness
for Political Power.

The American farmer is the great
est man in the world. A combine"
with capital of $1,OO0OO0 900 is a
great thing because it is combine:
but $1,O00,000,000 relatively to the cap
ital of money, brain and Drawn invest
ed in the agricultural industry in this
country is not at all great thing, says
Harper's Weekly. Figures simply
stagger and fall down when they at
tempt to represent the real founda-
ton wealth of America, which is agri-
cultural. We are all when we attempt
to contemplate that wealth, very much
in the position of the Irishman who
had to look several times in order to
see the tall building-taking it little
by little. One section of the view is
the information, entirely accurate.
that the farmers of Minnesota and the
Dakotas have received $500 900. 600 for
their products this year. Another is
that the corn crop of the state of Kan
sas this year will be 26O,OO0,0O BUSH
els. Still another, that 100000. as
the lowest estimate, fell in one soak
ing rain in the single territory of Ok
lahoma the other day-the rain having
checked the growing menace of fort
nights dry spell. In a single year the
mich COWS of the United States weld
a product equal in value to one-half
of the capital of the steel trust-and
there are more cows at the beginning
of the new year than there were be-
fore. Behind the agriculture is the
agriculturist, and the American far
mer is gaining in intelligence, in mas
terry of his soil and in fitness for no.
litical power quite as rapidly as his
products are increasing in magnitude.
He may be merely waiting to be or
gained into a vast and irresistible
public force. Or, again, he may be
slowly and sadly reconciling himself
to the knowledge that he is a passive
force only-like his own fertile acres,
which, by intelligent cultivation and
exploitation, are made to yield rich
crops for those who know how to get
them.

PERTINENT FARM NOTES.

The United States raises four-fifths
of the worlds corn, over 1000, O0O, 900
bushels annually.
There is a wide divergence of opin-
ion as to the outcome Of the United
States rice crop for 1902. Estimates
of yield range from 100000 to 4,OOO,-
600 sacks.
Where a locality becomes addicted
to the habit of growing one crop year
after year, the average soil deterio-
rates unless fertilizers are applied, if
the crop is sold from the farm.
\ well arranged system of rotation
contributes greatly to maintaining
the uniform fertility of the soil, and
is also one of the readiest means by
which to get rid of insect pests.
Illinois, for the last rs years, has
averaged over a quarter of a billion
bushels of corn annually. An increase
of one bushel of corn to the acre
means to Illinois farmers $4, 100000.
The results of cooperative fertliz-
er tests on meadows conducted in
England in 1900, showed that the most
profitable proportions of commercial
fertilizers were $50 pounds of nitrate
of soda, 200 pounds of super phosphate
and 800 pounds of KANT per acre.
