DISTINCT STEP IN ADVANCE.
(Auburn. N. Y, Daily Citlzen.)

(Auburn. N. Y. Daily Citlzen.)
Chronic Bright's Disease may have
been an incurable disease in the past,
but it is certainly durable now. NJ. L.
VALLEY, the druggist, tells us of re-
markable recovery in this city. There
was no question about the genuineness
of the case. The patient, lady, is
connected with one of our prominent
families. She was in hospital swoI-
len with dropsy. and the albumen was
in such enormous quantities as to So
lidify in the tube.
Death was expected daily by the
physician and family, when she was
put on a specific from California that
was alleged to be curing Bright's Dis
ease in that state. The results created
great astonishment. Symptoms began
to subside and the recovery was then
gradual till finally complete. The pa
tient has since actually passed for in
surance.
The popularity OF the treatment Is
that it does not seem to wear out, the
patient in question aking over eighty
bottles. The discoverer of the new spe-
cific is said to be lineal descendant
of Robert Fulton, who gave us the first
steamship.-Auburn. N. Y, Daily Cit
izen.
Another recovery by Fulton's Renal
Compound. The lady's name Is Mrs.
r. Lester Bell.
When to suspect Bright's Disease

puffy ankles, hands or eyelids; kidney

The man who doubts the demand

ave to scan the records to convince
himself otherwise. and which also goes
ar towards showing what is to be ex-

this prove conclusively that such

Often water that seems good is con-

Dearest Mother aud Father
received your letters of October
23rd a couple of days ago and will an

We have been here at Gibraltar for
five days. and will leave In couple
OF days, and according to report will
go first to Tompkinsville, N. Y. just
off Sandy Hook. from there to the
Brooklyn Navy Yards.
The yiolets in your letter sure smell
mighty good. I haven't found any
flowers all around the world that
smell as sweet as those at home. In

do not have any smell at all.

We arrived at Horseshoe Bend, a
mile above here, at 11:57l p. m. last
night, and moved up here today. From
here we have fine view OF the Statue
of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and
the skyscrapers of lower Manhattan.
Tomorrow we will go to the Brook
lyn Navy Yards. about five miles,
where we will probably lay for several
months, at least we hope 30.
We had very rough trip all the
way over from Gibraltar.
We ate our Thanksgiving dinner OF
roast beef and potatoes standing up
holding on to stanchions, and were
thankful that we were inside instead
OF outside the ship. The spray froze
as 1t fell and it certainly did seem and
still seems mighty cool to us.

Do you know that one quarter OF
the people have astigmatism? Do you
know that big per cent of these peo-
pie who have astigmatism are brag-
ging of good eyes?
Astigmatism is not disease, but
defect in the shape of the eye ball.
such as irregulations in the curva-
lures of the cornea and crystalline
lens Astigmatism necessitates an IT.
regular strain upon the muscles in
adjusting for different objects, thus
causing an exhaust of nerve energy,
consequently you may readily see why
this abnormal condition produces ner-
vousness.
Can YOU not see that the constant
drain on your nerve supply weakens
the entire nervous system, and the
end in many cases is complete nerV-
GUS prostration. In fact there is no
defect in the eye which causes more
discomfort and suffering than astig-
matism and yet a peculiar feature
about astigmatism is, the people who
have it seldom know that anything Is
wrong with their eyes. The attribute
all their suffering to some otner
cause. They believe they can see as
well as anyone and in good many
cases they can, but the overwork Is
going on just the same, and the ex-
haust of nerve supply thus affects the
brain, and when you disturb or pain
the brain you have panied the nigh
est seat and center of the whole nerv-
Gus system; consequently you have
daily headache. also pains extending
down the back of your neck ana
shoulders which is thought to be neu-
ralgia; ringing and roaring sound
in the head; bloodshot eye balls, a
pricking or burning sensation, reel
ing as though sand was in your eyes
.nauseating feeling of the stomach
producing vomiting spells, loss OF ap-
petite and irritability. Thereby money
spent for prescriptions and medicine
to cure your headache, neuralgia, ner-
yousness and stomach trouble, is sim
ply money thrown away. What you
want is q properly ground lens to
overcome the muscular and nervous
strains, thus placing your eyes In
perfect focus, which produces COM
ulete state of rest Then you have re-
moved the cause and your headache
ceases for good. This fact has been
proven to over 10000 people BY the
western Optical Co., who have nttec
$1,000 people with glasses during tne
past 20 years.

ed glasses for me which | can wear all

Making Pork on Peanuts.

The peanut does not yield in the
Northern States as it does South.
There they grow large crops of them
in light sandy soil that will produce
little else. One OF the large growers
of peanuts in the South in a letter to
the Southern Cultivator praises the
crop as very profitable for hog rails
ing and ~fattening. He says: The pea
nut has many advantages over other
crops. First, it has no insect enemy;
second, it will withstand more dry
weather than any other crop, and
third, poor sandy land that will not
pay in any other crop will make a
fine crop of peanuts. I had this year
twenty acres in peanuts that easily
made fifty bushels per acre on land
that would not make over eight bush
els of corn without fertilizer. The
vines made the finest hay 1 ever fed
when properly cured. If you pull
them up in the evening and the sun
shines the next day in the evening
take them in and you will have the
sweetest hay you e saw. My
horses will leave alfalfa to eat pea
u nay cured In this way.
The peanuts are the finest hog feed
I ever fed. If you want to feed your
hogs on peanuts have a block in your
barn or crib and a sharp Ratchet and
you can chop off the bunch of pea
nuts from a pint to nearly a quart on
each root. You can chop off two
bushels of peanuts while you are
Smelling n bushe1 OF corn. They
will fatten hogs faster than anything
else and keep them healthy.
Some people say there is no money
in peanuts, but there is, for I get
money the year round for mine. 1
am now supplying two stores, be-
sides using the nuts to fatten my
hogs. The vines or hay 1 feed to my
horses and cows.

Why Legumes Enrich.

According to the scientific experts
each acre of yourfarmh has IS, 1000, 900
pounds of nitrogen suspended in the
air over il. That nitrogen is worth
fifteen cents a pound to yoa, ana
each acre has $11,250; 900 in nitro
gen value floating " it.
Your land can not directly draw
the valuable nitrogen from the at
mosphere and utilize it in the grow
ing of crops. You have no available
mechanical or chemical means by
which you can force the air TO drop
it's nitrogen upon your aoil. Never
theless, nature makes 1t possible for
you to draw to q certain extent upon
the cast stores of nitrogen above
your farm. One class of plants, the
legumes, is endowed by nature with
the power to draw nitrogen from the
atmosphere and store it in the soil
for a time. The familiar clovers, the
cowpeas, the soy-beans and the won
derful alfalfa belong to this valuable
class of plants, and you can use them
to draw from the air in the nitrogen
your soil needs and must have in
order to be able to produce large and
good crops. An acre of 1egumes will
draw from~the air about 200 pounds
of nitrogen, and it will enrich your
soil in the most effective way at the
lowest possible cost.
