Why sIosn's Linimsnt and Veterinary

He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. lie practiced as vet.
eESaary for 20 years and has bat,led
successfully with every disease TO
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result OF
experiments made to save life or re-

here for 5000. which he said was due
him for carpentering and other work
done for them. The defense set up
the claim that the work was paid for
with kiss.
II was asserted by the Testers that
the work was done in friendly way
and was not to be paid for. Bonanno
made no demand for pay until he and
daughter of the Testers. ceased to be
friends.
Mrs. Lester told about bird house
which she said Bonanno had given her
adopted daughter. In his bill the bird
house figures as a $35 charge.
She. her daughter and Bonanno
were admiring the house and the girl
exclaimed:
oh! how can pay you?"
To this. Mrs. Lester said. Bonanno
replied:
I'd take kiss for pay"
Was the kiss given?" asked the
court
1t was, responded the witness.
Miss Vitro told the same story. She
said she had done some sewing for
Bonanno. who was calling on her very
frequently. and he promised her a
present and sent her the bird house
She admitted paying with kiss.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi.
q good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow. and hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
II told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
'It was struggle because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it,
and then 1t was easy to leave OF
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear. kidneys grew better until at
last he was new man altogether, as
a result of leaving off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then / began to
drink 1t, too.
Although I was never as bad off
as my husband, l was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 90 lbs. before
I began to use Postum. Now weigh
115 lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, think.
Many do not use Postum because
they have not taken the trouble to
make it right. I have successfully
fooled great many persons who have
drunk it at my table. They would
