made to hold the ends.
Much available cotton land will be
overflowed Owing to protracted rains

wide. Parts of Tensas, Madison, Con-

turning to the Mississippi river
through the Red river. Dispatches
from the vicinity of the break say with
the favorable existing river conditions
The water will not long run through
the crevasse and the damage will be
considerably less than that done by
the Wyly-Bass creyasse in the same
vicinity in 1893.

National SpeciaIism in Medical Treat
ment.

Almost every community has some one ply
stefan who has had remarkable success in the
treatment of certain diseases. Other doctors
envy him and sometimes malign him. But
he doesn't give the other doctors the secret Of
his cures. He worked to win that secret. It's
discovery demanded time thought and brains
He keeps the secret he won, goes on curing
these special diseases and presently develops
into specialist. People come at last thous-
ands ofmles to be treated by him and to take
the medicine which has cured so many Others
of a similar disease.
But people to come thousands of miles
must be rich, and the number of patients who
can be personally treated must be limited.
Let us suppose this successful physician who
becomes specialist, takes another view of
specialism. Let us suppose thai he says: IF
treat only the few who are near to me and
pay large fees, can reach but few people.
There must thousands die whom those other
doctors can't cure, because they haven't my
secret and because they can't reach me, and
in many cases don't know me. Why not go
out to the people instead OF their coming to
me? Why not give my medicine to the many
at small cost rather than to the few for fat
fees? Why not put up my success, al prepara-
tiOns, place them in every drug store within
each of the sick, and tell the people through
the newspapers Just what this medicine will
do?''
hat is the thought that came 20 DR.. r. Y.
Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y. He had succeeded
with two prescriptions in a remarkable way.
He came to the place where the call for his
services along the line of the cures he effected
compelled him to be specialist. He could
not give time to the treatment of other forms
of disease which many another physician
could cure as well as he He was compelled
to specialize his work along the lines OF his
success. Now the question came, shall | be a
narrow specialist broad one? Shall l be
a local specialist or national specialist?

A WORD TO Farm TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls Of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a condition OF
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some fonn; with some the
liver is torpid; there is bi!iousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges Of
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, are
tonnented with the pangs Of dyspepsia.
To the thousands Of run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and vigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tcres
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and tanishes
neuralgia tortures; it purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing of perfect physical vigor to Withstand
the rigors of a severe winter.
