Special Report on Fruit Condition.

A special inquiry on fruit condi

est damage, according to our reports,
has been sustained In the southwest
section OF the State, where the frost
was most severe. Considerable dam.
age to apples in most all sections, tive
correspondents report all Ben Davis
killed. A few correspondents report
no damage to apples. The average
condition, compared with a full aver
age crop, is estimated at 55, which will
yet insure a great many apples, unless
the damage is greater than is now ap
parent. Pears promise only 10 per
cent. of an average crop; cherries, 25
per cent, and grapes, 20 per cent. In
many places all the young foliage on
the grapes was entirely killed by the
frost. Blackberries and raspberries,
being later than the other fruits, have
been damaged very little, and show a
condition OF 10 per cent. Strawberries
were damaged considerably, but not
as much as has been reported. The
bloom that was out at time of frost
was damaged greatly, but as this fruit
continues to bloom for about thirty

The sleeplesSneSs, nervous prostra-
ton, weakness, general debility, func-
tlonal Irregularities and dependency
from which thousands of women,
young and old, suffer, can be quickly
removed by properly feeding the
nerves and replacing the unhealthy
blood by a fresher and more highly
vltalized fluid. The happy change
from ill-health and misery, to true
womanhood and happiness, can only
be effected by the use Of Paine's Celery
Compound.
The present spring demands for
Raine's Celery Compound, woman's
friend and life giyer, is enormous in
every State Of the Union. This fact
alone, amply proves that the great
Compound possesses virtues and
powers unknown to other remedies.
