Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
OF the so-c8lled patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals OF more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit In arousing needed
attention TO this subject, II has, in
considerable measure, resulted in the
most Intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious ingre-
dents complained Of. Recognizing TINS
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo,
N. Y, "took time by the forelock, as u
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has com:
pletely forestaIled all harping critics and
ali opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, 1t will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-formlng drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or Injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing In the
depths OF our American forests and OF
we'll recognized curative virtues. -.

portions long continued, as In obstinate

SUCCESSFUL EQUALIZER.
Combine Can Be Drawn by One-Sixth
Fewer Horses.

At the ranch OF William Connolly
test was made recently of patent
equalizing hitch which has been de-
vised by the Pendleton Iron Works.
The invention is for use on combin-
ed harvesters, and it was found to
work so successfully that four of the
"a horses used on the combine could
be dispensed with. Owing to the
manner in which the hitch equalizes
the draft the amount of energy requir-
ed TO operate a combine is materially
lessened.
