DREADED ATAXIA
What Active Treatment With
D.. Williams Pink Pills
Accomplished in a
Recent .ase.

Mr.. Francis M. Poole, harness Taak-
er, of Garvin, Lyon Co., Mimi, says:
my illness started in 1902, with
sharp pains al through my limbs. At
first thought it was rheumatism but
the pains kept getting more and more
severe and grew steadily worse. Later
a numbness came over my feet. 1t
gradually extended up my legs TO my
spine and waist. BY this time had
lost all control of my legs. Next my
bladder and bowels were affected and /
lost all control of them. At this stage
OF the disease was perfectly helpless
and from November, 1905, to April
1905, was confined to the bed. My
memory was so affected that thought
would lose my mind. / looked just
like dead person. My lips and finger
nails were blue. / suffered with ter
rible sharp, shooting pains and could
get relief only from the use of morphine
II was treated by five St. Paul doc
tors. All of them pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia. One said could
not live year and another told my
wife all he could do for me was to give
medicine to relieve the pain. / was
discouraged and, when my brother-in-
law urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, did so willingly
for he had read of their curing a case
similar to mine. / started to take the
pills in March, 1906, while 1 was still
confined to bed. l took several boxes
when felt slight change for the bet
ter and had healthier look. l was
finally able to 60 to the country but
kept ON with the treatment, The
blush color left my lips and my eyes
became brighter. l took the pills
long time and the next spring in May l
could walk around. In June went to
work although still weak. l kept ON
gaining and am now working without
the return of q symptom of my former
trouble and without losing days
work. DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People absolutely cured me and L
want all fellow sufferers to know of my
wonderful recovery"
Those who are interested in the treat
ment which cured this case should have
our booklet, Diseases of the Nervous
SYSTEM" which will be sent to every
nervous sufferer upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, or re-
ceipt of price, 80 cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50 by the DIR. Williams

RAISING Horses.

Men who are raising scrub horses
and using grade sires of any breed
are very foolish. Plug horses and those
which fit nowhere may sell low in the
future, but horses that have trade
will sell high Any sound saddle horse
or any light harness horse or big draft
horse or coach horse, any good chunk
any stylish Southern horse, any ex'
press horse and, we might say, any
cavalry horse, will sell well, while the
unclassified horse will grade at the

lished in the synodical papers, 80 the
congregations can take up the ques-
ton.
1t was decided that the president
name a committee of five, which will
have charge of the finances. This
committee. it is expected, will be
named within week. 1t was also
voted to change the meetings from the
last week in June to the week follow
ing July 4.
The budget committee was voted
$26, 900 to carry on the work next year
OF this sum, $19,519 will be used for
making repairs and improvements at
Watertown college and Wauwatosa
seminary. The remainder will be APP
piled to the synod's deficit.

DIPPING VAT TO PREVENT DISEASES

the application after ten days. AS e
remedy for lice on black hogs, crude
petroleum is successful. 1t is mixed
with an equal amount Of warm water
and applied with spray pump or
brush. The application should be re
peated in 10 to 1 4days
The picture shows a dipping vat, to-
gether with the chute necessary in
its operation. For hogs or sheep the
vat should be three feet deep, four feet
wide on the bottom and eight feet
wide on the top. A runway should be
made with a four-foot fence on each
side and narrow enough so that the
sheep or hog cannot easily turn around
in it. The runway should be so steep,
Just in front of the tank, that as soon
as the animal steps off of the cleats.
it cannot stop itself until it plunges
into the dip The runway on the 9TH
er side should be slanted toward the
tank, so that drippings will run back
into the tank.

four applications are recommended for
the average season although season

a reason for poor set of limbs. It

They shoald be washed in warm two

treatment should be repeated in ten
DAYS or two weeks Either q spray

this purpose. If pump is used the
solution should be rubbed in with a

Combination of Mixtures.-It will be
observed that at the time of the i'm
portant spraying against blight, the
damage from the beetle is past, pro-
vided they have been thoroughly kill
ed early in the season. The station
has had some success in applying
Paris green or arsenate of lead with
a weak Bordeaux mixture, as the
poison will then adhere better to the
vines than if applied in clear water.
Not less than two pounds of Paris
green should be used to so gallons OF
spray mixture, and about four pounds
of arsenate of lead to so gallons. Fall
ure with spraying against blight Will
result unless the potato beetles are
thoroughly killed early in the season.
