BURBANK DEVELOPS
new VARIETY WHEAT
NOTED AGRICULTURIST SAYS
HIS "SUPER-WHEAT" WILL
PRODUCE FIVE-FOLD.

Luther Burbank, known as the
worlds greatest scientific agricultur-
ist, announces the production of a
super wheat" that will yield from SIS
to IS bushels to the acre, or five
times the average production. The
new grain is said to be the product
of ten years of extensive and ex-
pensive experimentation during which
the plant wizard of California has
been aiming to increase the food sup
ply of the United States. At the pres
ent time Burbank is aiming to in
crease the protein matter in the big
grains before distributing the seed
among planters in the great wheat
belt of the United States and Cana
da.
Burbank predicts that the "super
wheat" will mean more to the United
States than does the Burbank potato
produced in 1878, which has Welded
over 5O0,000,000 bushels of tubers
and has increased the national Weld
by thousands of carloads.
New Wheat Large and Golden.
The Burbank "super wheat" has a
head like clotted gold, long, heavy
and amazingly big grained. During
his tests Mr.. Burbank compared the
new grain carefully with So of the
worlds best wheats and found that
it surpasses all in productiveness. Up
to this time the tests have been kept
secret for fear Burbank's labors
might be exploited by spectators.
Now that the grain is nearly ready
for the market Burbank feels that his
rights and claims will be protected
though he intends to give the results
of the long tests free to the world.
Burbank predicts that the "super
wheat" will mean more than his fruit,
flower and potato breeding expert
ments which have greatly increased
the food supply and pleasure of the
people of this nation.

A STRANGE CASE
Right Here in Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga.-vI found DR.. Pierce's
advice most satisfactory in quite
a peculiar train of circumstances. Soon
after arising in the morning a peculiar
feeling would begin at my stomach,
which seemed to swell, everything
would become dark and l would faint
dead away. When I became conscious,
vomiting would set in and very large
beads of perspiration would cover nv
entire body and would wet my clothes
through and through, also had trouble
peculiar to women. Insufficient sleep
also retarded my gain. My blood, no
doubt, was poisoned by my being
badly constipated. The constipation
was relieved, however, by the Pleasant
Pellets and, wonderful to say, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery en-
tirely cured my case of unusual health.
The trouble never returned. Mrs. D.
B. GOLDEN, zig Coolidge Place,
Atlanta, Georgia.
An imitation of natures method OF
replacing waste of tissue, enriching i'm
poverished blood and increasing nerve
force is when you take an Alternative ex-
tract of herbs and roots made with pure
glycerine, without the use of alcohol,
like Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This vegetable medicine
coaxes the digestive functions and helps
in the assimilation of food, or rather
takes from the food just the nutriment
the blood requires.
Pure blood is essential to good
health. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery not only cleanses the blood
of impurities, but it increases the
activity of the blood-making glands,
and enriches the body with an
abundant supply of pure, rich blood.
1t thus cures scrofula, eczema, erysip-
elias, boils, pimples and other eruptions
that mar and scar the skin.
