The American Farmer the Best in the World,

The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master OF
the soil-he is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing IN
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig-
nificance when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
ooo, 900 for their products in single year
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past. He knows if certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way 1ow are master Of Jour osCsi destiny.
Providing your blood is in good order, it
only needs a little effort on your own part
of the poisons that are apt to accumulate
and your system is ready to ward of the
attack of the germs of disease. DR.. Pierce's $
Golden Medical Discovery makes rich red
blood-by increasing the number Of red
blood corpuscles. There is no alcohol in
corpuscles. AS an Alternative extract, made
only of herbs and roots it goes about its
work in natures way. 1t stimulates the
liver into proper action, and feeds the
worn-out nerves. stomach and heart on
pure blood. Used for over third of a
century. it has sold more largely than any
other blood medicine in the United States.
More bottles of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery are sold to-day than ever before
that is true test of its medicinal value after
thirty eight years of deserved popularity.

DR.. r. W. Frazer who left this city
about a month ago to investigate the
newly discovered mining camp OF Gold
field, New, after remaining there week
went to Salt Lake City. In writing to
friend in Central. the doctor said
while he was not exactly disappointed
with the district, he did not think it a
good place to locate for the present. He
said the camp is a wonderful one and
will be one Of the best in the country in
the course Of a year and half or two
years, as soon as q road is built into
Goldfsld and transportation rates are
not 30 high. At present hardly any Of
the mines are being worked and on
most Of them there is onlyjIone man
staying to look after the property. As
soon as transportation rates become
cheaper, active development OF the
mines will be commenced. DR.. Frazer
did not say where he intended to settle,
but it is probable that he will go farther
west than Salt Lake. He said nothing
whatever Of returning to this city.

Circulars have been sent out the past
