Dr. Pierces medicines, however, form . single and therefore striking exception to the above rule. Their claim to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their owners and makers eay-so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle-wrap- per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes in praise of the curative value of the several ingredients entering into these well known med icines.
 In favor of Dr. Piorce's medicines is tho frank, confding, open, honest state ment of their full composition, giving every ingredient ID plain English, with out fear of successful criticism and with confidence that the good sense of the afflicted will lead them to appreciate this honorable manner of confding to them what they are taking into their stomachs when making use of these medicines.
 WHAT THEY'CURE, People often asx What do Dr. Pierce's two leading Golden Medical Discovery and Favorite Prescription cure7"
 Briefly. the answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery is 9 most potent al. seratIve. or olood-purifer, and tonic, or inylgorator, and acts especially favor ably in 9 curative way upon all the mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom- sch, bowels and bladder curing large percentage of catarrhal cases whether the disease affects the nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach Gas catarrhal dyspepsia), bowels as mucous diarrheal, bladder, uterus or other pelvic organs. Even in the chronic or ulcerative stages of these affections, 1t is generally successful in affecting cures. In fact the "Golden Medical Discovery is without doubt, the most successful constitutional remedy for all forms of catarrhal diseases known to modern medical science. In Chronic Nasal Catarrh Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy fluid should be used for washing and cleansing out the nasal passages while taking the Discovery for its blood cleansing and specific, healing effects upon the mucous lining mem branes. This combined local and gen. eral treatment will cure very large percentage of the worst cases of chronic nasal catarrh, no matter of how many years standing they may h.
 As to the "Favorite Prescription it is advised for the cure of one class of diseases only-those weaknesses, de rangements and irregularities peculiar to women. It IS a powerful, yet gently -stipg, inyigorating tonic and nerylne.

Whose Say=so Is Best

With nearly all medicines put up for sale through druggists, one has to take the mak- CTS say-so alone and exclusively as to their curative value. Of course, such testimony is not that of a disinterested party and ac- cordingly is not to be given the same credit as if written from disinterested motives.

In the hay situation, although might state
that, as before, all offerings on the market are
being readily taken up at prices asked In nor
mai years there is general tendency toward
little trading during the holiday season. but this
is not apparent this year. due undoubtedly to
the fact that few consumers laid In heavy stocks
during the summer and are therefore compelled
TO buy right along to supply their needs.
In the country districts there is a tremendous
demand Tor alfalfa, which was generally autfci-
pated but greatly increased on account of the

steadier tone to spots In the south, with the
probability of large exports for January, and
