HONEST CONFESSION.
a Doctors Talk on Food.


There are no fairer set Of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
end they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession of the fact.
A case in point is that OF an emf
nent practitioner, one of the good old
school, who lives in Texas. His plain,
unvarnished tale needs no dressing up:
Il hal always had an intense preju-
dice, which I can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods Hence. l
never read line of the many ads Of
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till last
winter.
while in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest SON,
who has four Of the ruddiest. health
lest little boys I ever saw, ! ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons. be-
came exceedingly fond of 1t and have
eaten package Of 1t every week since,
and find it delicious, refreshing and
strengthening food, leaving no Ill ef-
fects whatever, causing no eructations
with which was formerly much trou-
bled), no sense of fullness. nausea. nor
distress of stomach in any way.
There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach IS this
does. am stronger and more active
since l began the use Of Grapefruit
than I have been for 10 years, and am
no longer troubled with nausea and
indigestion" Name given by Postum

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Wr. Jones Tells of the Way by which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Wneu OoctorS Toileos
Sixphysicians, all of them good, one Of
them a specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been DOR
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time ON for a period
Of more than three years he was q con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
budge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: 81 should think he
wonld give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
In my right thigh, but in time it ap-
peared in every muscle of my body. I
lost the use Of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use Of my
right one. Ny feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms Of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seer to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DIR. Viii.
liams' Pink Pills, and acting ON her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
TENDER, 1904. The story Of what fol.
lowed is brief. but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
"When ! was on the third box" says
Mr.. Jones, az could realize change for
the better: I felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
am entirely well, and everybody il
asking what took"
Mr.. William Jones lives ut Oxford,
Mich. DIR. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly ON the blood which il
the seat of the disease. They are sold
BY every druggist.

Broadland, s. OAK, March 28.-Quite q
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G.. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid-
cred incurable, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there IL remedy
which will cure it even in the most adj
vanced stages. This is what he says
81 was helpless as little babe: My
wife and l searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright'a
Disease, hoping that l would be able to
find a remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that l should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. / praise God for the day
when decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in q
short time 1 was able to get out of bed,
and after few weeks treatment l waa
a strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Plla
saved my life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

done by travelling shredder for from
one to one and a half dollars an acre.
Corn is the best American stock
food. The reasons are that 1t is more
generally grown than any other grain.
The cost of growing is very small COM
pared to the amount of material yield
ed. and it is grown with SO much ease.
In common practice, only the fodder
and grain are fed to stock, but II the
plant has been shredded the whole
stalk is fed. The value of corn as
food for stock lies in its palatability.
digestibility, and the amount OF d.
gestible nutrients. Corn is not a bal
anoed ration, and some rough material
should always be fed with the grain.
Poultry may be fattened better and
the number of eggs increased by feed
ing corn instead Of high-priced wheat
foo6s.
Every farmer should feed as much
of his corn as possible on his OWL
farm. His profits on corn are much
greater after he has turned 1t into beef,
pork or poultry than on the raw prod
uct In this way he keeps money in his
own community that would otherwise
leave it. The case is similar to that OF
the farmer who sells his cotton to q
northern factory instead of building
one in his own town with local cap
ital. thus keeping all the profits al
home But there is always market
for any surplus amount Of corn he
may have. MiIlers, glucose and corn
oil manufacturers can use great deal
