FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST


To the head Of every family the
health OF its different members is
most important, and the value OF an
agreeable laxative that is certain IN
its effect is appreciated. One Of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle In It's
action on the bowels, yet positive IN
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able In short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.oo
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. w. B. Caldwell,
POI Washington ST., Monticello. H.,
and ask for sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
we'll will be glad to send 1t without
any expense to you whatever. - -.s.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form OF an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most OF the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another. back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin. and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four OF five years,
without getting any better. and in fact
got worse all the time. so much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time Of boils and
eczema, doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country. but
to no avail Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores.
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In very short time began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until WAS
we'll again, and have not had re.
currence Of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since. and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"
(Signed) A. G. Brandon, Attorney-at-
Law, Greenville, o.. Jan. II. 1911.

ment are sold everywhere, sample
of each, with 32-page book. will be

FLAX GROWING
is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE.
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount Of money made out
of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas Of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion of the continent. Twenty. thir-
ty, forty and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts Of the wheat
growing portions Of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention.
but what of oats, which yield forty.
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry of the
worlds prize, which. by the way. was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then.
there is the barley, with Its big yields.
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and big one is fax.
The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by prominent farmer at Saska-
tcon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and tlly-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had a
yield of Twenty-Five bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking Of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation Of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case Of
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south Of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now. there can be no
proper reason advanced why such
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner This year (t911) the
same man had one hundred acres of
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels Of oats and 800 bushels
of flax"
There are the cattle, the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products Of
Western Canada farms, all of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention. and they are treated
of in the literature sent out on appu-
cation by the Government agents.
