Many Cures Reported Daily in Towns
Where 1t Is Known.

The wonderful cures that are be-

lady from Ottumwa, Ia, for many
years suffered from bad case OF

pustules and pimples. So unsightly
was her appearance she gave up all
social life. Failing to find relief with
doctors and remedies, she became de-
spondent and discouraged. After a
few weeks treatment with AmoloX the
scaly redness disappeared. pustules
healed and she was entirely cured. A
few months following her mother
wrote that Amolox had done wonders
for her daughter( and she was mar
ried last week. Seems like fairy
tale, doesn't it? Yet this is the truth.
This is only one of the many cases
that are being reported in towns where
Amolox has been introduced and its

Farmers and pig raisers do not
always appreciate the value OF green
reeds and succulent pastures for their
animals Too often the hog is con-
sidered a scavenger and his ability to
use waste is regarded as his chief
value. However well he serves this
purpose. he will pay well for good
care, feed and housing.
Forage crops are especially bene-
nciai to young growing animals. 1t
Is possible to grow them much more
prontably and successfully when a
good green field of palatable and nu-
triuous pasturage is provided. Expert
ments and practical farmers expert
ences prove that gains in weight are
made at less cost on forage than In

Bows and the herd boar are benefited
by having green feeds. 1t is n good
plan TO have the brood SOW running on
green pasture at farrowing time, as
this is conducive to a strong, healthy

green forage from the time she far
rows. The young pigs will soon learn
to eat, and the exercise and the green
food in It's natural state will start them
along In good condition and tend to
keep them SO.
