! Deering Binders and Mowers have
broken all records this season. Our sales
on these machines have been remarkable,
considering crop conditions, and not one
breath of complaint has been heard. They
are the best that money and brains can
build. Everybody in touch with Freder-
icksburg knows the history OF the Husker
and Shredder business last fall. The Deer
Ing won the highest praise where others
failed. Deering Corn Harvesters gave
satisfaction last year, they are better now.

for their strong support, we are.

Mrs. iii. ~i ghf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by q
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years / suffered with dyspepsia

to find that it acted like q fine tonic, and in

HONEST CONFESSION.
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set Of men on
earth than the doctors, aed when tney
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest ana many
confession of the fact.
A case in point is that Of an eminent
practitioner, one Of the good old school,,
who lives in Texas. His plain, un-
vanished tale needs no dressing up:

dice, which 1 can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all

HARD TIMES FOR BABIES.
Frequently Made Martyrs to Old
Established Customs.

Even in some civilized countries
babies still have hard times. In parts
of Flanders the mothers wind linen
cloths around the heads Of their
children because it is considered beau
tiful there for girls to have fiat
temples. In parts Of France there is
still a worse custom.
The style in heads there is to have
the back of the skull as fiat as pos
sihle, so a board is strapped to the
back of the infants head.
In Brittany many houses have a
pole fastened in the floor. Attached
t. this is movable arm that is free
to turn completely around the upright.
The babies are strapped to this arm,
and are expected to amuse themselves
by lurching around and around in a
ring. The Breton peasants imagine
that it teaches them to walk, and they
don't seem to care that it makes their
legs handy.
