Mrs. Taylor Wants All Suffering Women to Know of the Great
 Female Tonic, GILBERT's SQUAW VINE
 COMPOUND.
Huntsville, Ala, July 17, 1901. L 1 a....


 Huntsville. Ala, July 17, 1901 MT. T. H. Gilbert, Proprietor Squaw Vine
 Medicine Company:
 Dear Sir-I feel that it is my Christian duty to you, as well as to the suffering women, to give you this voluntary testi- monial, that you may publish 1t, and hope some anxious mother or afflicted daughter may see it and realize that this Is plain. honest statement of facts free- ly given for their benefit.
 About two years ago my daughter, just blooming into womanhood, contracted @ severe cold at a critical time with her, which caused her menses to stop. Real izing that this was unnatural, l called in several doctors and tried all kinds of patent medicines, but could not get any, thing to bring her right again. Once every month she was confined to her bed for a week or more, and suffered so much from cramps and pains in every muscle of her body and limbs until 1t seemed that death would have been a welcome relief to her.
 At last, after I had almost despaired of her ever being we'll again, I heard in some way of Gilbert's Squaw Vine Com pound for women so I at once bought a. bottle and commenced giving 1t accord- ing to directions. Before the first bottle was all taken 1 could see an improve ment in her condition. She is now taking the fifth bottle,and her menstrual periods are perfectly regular and natural. She does not have any more cramps or pains and her general health Is good.
 MT. Gilbert, I shall never be able to ex- press my gratitude to you for this won- derful medicine. l hope you may be able to advertise it to the world so that hun dreds-yes, thousands of afflicted women may learn of it's value as female tonic and be cured.
 Yours truly, MRS M. V. TAYLOR.

1t is doubtful if there is another sol
in the United States that can stand such
extremes as the soil of Iowa. Last year
it was dry. So dry, in fact, that people
said 1t never could rain again. The
pastures were brown and bare in June,
when they should have been green, and
the corn received but one good rain
after it was planted. Still when the
harvest time came Iowa led all other
states by several millions of bushels of
grain. This year it has rained almost
incessantly for the past six weeks, and
the croakers have said; "Nothing will
be raised. Everything is lost" But
now that the clouds are disappearing
and the waters receding, the farmers
have learned that Iowa's harvest will
fall but little below the average. Hay
and grass never we're better and except
on the low lands, the corn is excellent.
The wheat and oats that the people
tn ought were ruined, are being harvest
ed nicely and the crop will be abund-
ant. Under any and all circumstances,
the seed time and harvest regular
ly to our people. Great is Iowa and
BILE ssed are her people.

In settling up the estate of the late
Thomas o. Morgan of Sidney, wherein
a value of over one.fourth Of a million
dollars was involved, a peculiar plan was
agreed upon which will no doubt prove
more satisfactory than the usual way
of bringing such matters into court.
There were, OF course, several choices of
real estate which were numbered from
one up and the highest bidder took first
choice and so on till all is disposed of.
But few families could adjust matters SO
economically snd pleasantly.

Director Sage estimates that an inch
of water upon ar acre of ground
amounts to about liz tons. At first
thought this doesn't seem to be a very
great amount of water, but let one take
a pencil and go to calculating and the
figures reach quite a magnitude. For
instance, in almost every part of Iowa
the rainfall has reached about 20 inch.
es during the excessive wet weather of
the past few weeks, This means that
on every acre of ground has fallen 226O
tons of water, or about so, 900 barrels.
On u forty acre patch Of corn this would
give 80, 400 tons, or about three million
barrels of water. And so one might go
on calculating on different sized bodies
of land, and a good idea is soon formed
of the immensely Of our rainfall.
