MANY CITIES ARE
S7 STARTLED BY CURES
New Root Juice Medicine Creates
wide Intsrest BY It's Strsnas 3
Power Over Disease. ~.--r

The startling rapidity with which the
fame of the new Root Juice medicine has
Travelled seems little short of marvellous
for although its strange power over
disease has been known but short
time, reports from people in many cities,
praising it to the skies and describing the
most phenomenal cures, are coming from
everywhere.
Dozens of people here in town who
we're among the first to obtain the medi-
cine at the drug stores, are now telling
of benefits that have been derived from
its use. g.
On every hand one may hear stories
that seem almost incredible and yet the
persistency with which such reports are
made seem to dispel any doubt concern
idg the remarkable merit of discovery.
From all reports, the Root Juice exerts
a.powerful curative influence upon the
digestive and secretory organs and some
of those who have tried it say they can
scarcely get enough to eat and that the
stomach seems able to digest anything.
1t stops the indigestion, belching, the
formation of gas on the stomach and
pains alter meals, in a SUI lprising manner
and its continued use for short time
strengthens and tones the stomach so
that indigestion ia soon forgotten.
Rheumatism sufferers. too, declare that
the effect of the medicine on sore.
swollen, aching limbs and joints is won
derful and that the pain simply seems to
vanish.
The following extracts from few oi
the mauy recent reports will convey q
good idea of the great results that are
being obtained by its use in many cities
over the country. F. abel, Seymour

an ideal ear of corn. 1t is a copy
Of the Champion Ear of Corn that
took the 81. 900 prize at the National
Corn Show. The proper care OF
seed corn is more important than
many farmers suppose. Test re-
ports show an increase in yield of 10
bushels per acre due to extra care of
seed. Some farmers are not posted
as to what IS the best shaped ear OF
corn TO breed from.
The Bulletin also contains timely
article on the important subiec' OF
how TO grade winter apples for the
market to obtain the best prices"
There is a plain discussion on the
