A PosTMAsTER's DISCOVERY.

Lancaster, N. Y, April 21st.-Mr.
John Remers, postmaster of this viii
lage, was taken with Diabetes four
years ago. For two years he doc
tored with local physicians as well as
several specialists from Buffalo, but
got no better. Indeed hewas gradually
growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors med
icine and commenced treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and is as strong and
well to-day as ever he was.
He attributes his recovery to moth
ing but Dodd's Kidney Pills and says:
IF could only talk five minutes to
every one who has Diabetes am sure
T could convince them that they
needn't suffer moment longer when
Dodd's Kidney Pills are on sale. in
every drug store.
II viii cheerfully answer any letters
from sick men or women, as think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told
of Dodd's Kidney Pills the remedy that
saved my life."

A Neglected Resource.

The cow-pea is an old acquaintance
of southern farmers, but its virtues
are not appreciated as it ought to be.
Even in the poverty-stricken fields OF
the Atlantic southern states where it
is almost the sole source of agricul-
tural salvation, it is most wonderfully
neglected. 1t is safe to say that no
hay, not even alfalfa or red clover, is
superior to that made from the COM
mon cow-pea; and surely southern
farmers need good annual hay
plant that can be raised on the same
ground and at the same time and with
the same cultivation as other valuable
crops; and at the same time deposit
in the soil large amount of the
most costly fertilizer known. On all
soils deficient in humus, the cow-peas
are profitable crop even if no part
of the plant is harvested for food for
man and beast. But wonderful to re-
late of this truly wonderful plant the
entire crop may be saved for feed
and the roots and stubble will pay in
it's contributions of nitrogen for the
use of the land, pay for the seed, pay
for the cultivation and harvesting the
crop. Therefore the farmer has the
full value of the crop, and the crop
besides. Economically it is as if
some benign power should give to
each farmer growing cow-peas, boz
nus equal to the value of the crop as
a fertilizer, to be paid in nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in the
proportions contained in the stub
BILE and roots of the peas, and besides
this, to spread the fertilizer and pillow
it under. On poor soils the cow-pea
should be treated literally with phos-
phoric acid and potash, for the heav-
Ter the crop, the greater the fertiliz-
ing value, and the greater the amount
of pea-vine hay. There is no better
hay for beef cattle, milk cows, horses
or hogs than this-better than TIM
othy, better than clover, better than
alfalfa, and where one ton of it is
grown in the south there ought to be
100 tons. With such feed and beeves
to consume it on the farms, the south
would have the most profitable farms
in all the country.-Farm and Ranch.

What used to be called female dis
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. 1t has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases of the pelvic organs are the
cause of most cases Of female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that woman entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these or
gans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using II.
runa for these cases and found it so
admirably adapted to their permanent
cure that Peruna has now become the
most famous remedy for female dis
eases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using IL and praising it.
Peruna is not q palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured
more women of female ailments than
any other living physician. He makes
these cures simply by using and rec
ommending Peruna.
