A CARD FROM MIR. FURsMAN
Ladysmith News Budget.

/
Ladysmith. Wisconsin.
Gentlemen: If not imposing on you
too much, will you be kind enough to
print the following in reply to an. ar
ticle which appeared in the Rusll
County Journal under date of Feb. s.
in which my name appeared, entitled
y Slam at Farmers.
No doubt the author of this write
up" one d. w. Maloney by name who
also has the distinction of being pro-
prietor of that publication, thought by
referring to me as wind TANNER
that he would not only make hit with
his subscribers but win the approval of
the merchants and farmers in and
around Ladysmith.
Fortunately for me, at the meeting
referred to by this worthy and remark
| able editor of that particular Journal,
there were present about thirty mer-
chants all of whom heard what | said
and | think | may state without fear
Of. contradiction that | said nothing
which would come under the head of a
SLAM at the Farmer" On the CON
trary | boosted Mr. Farmer / stated
emphatically that the farmer was a
good merchant. Your wires are crossed
Mr.. Maloney.
! simply criticized the moth-eaten,
water-logged methods in which mer-
chants extend credit to, not only the
farmer, but to you or anybody else
who buys on credit.
Just think of it dear reader. | queS-
ton whether you realize what an able
editor you have in this man MalOney.
On February first, under the head of
DISCUSS Credit Matters his paper re-
fers to me as an expert on the subject
of Retail Credits and in the very next
issue he calls me ''leather-luged wind
TANNER, etc.
Why this transfer of affection in one
short week Mr.. Maloney? | wonder
| If it was because | did not advertise
my subject in the columns Of your Val
liable Sheet? SO far as | can mag
ne, that could be the only reason | can
| think of for | don't believe you ever
saw me much less heard my leather
lungs in action.
For your information Mr.. MalOney
| did make two attempts TO advertise
our policy with you. but each time
called | found your very modern, up
| dO-date establishment running itself,
with no one in charge, for which now
| | am truly thankful as | never did ap-
prove of mud-slinging. and surely
would not encourage such a policy
with my patronage to such a would-be
publication, which is / am informed,
continually knocking sOmebody-and
Mr.. Maloney, if l were a merchant of
Ladysmith | would not permit you to
advertise my wares (unless you turned
over new leaf if you would give me
a full page for nothing. Such trash as
you write surely comes under the head
Of small town. stuff Take my adj
vice Throw away your hammer and
| use a horn. Knocking don't pay Mr..
Maloney as you will find if you inven-
| tory yourself, and your establishment.
Read the inscription Oh your water
| tower. Are those your sentiments!
| No
Yours very truly,
H. w. FURSMAN.

Statement How He Wiped
Out Painful Disease and
Developed Good Physical
Condition to Get Govern

GIVES ALL CRECIT TO NEW HERB
MEDICINE

I'm sure TO man had worse case
of kidney trouble than mine vas"
declares W. R. Bolden, the promi-
nent resident of R. F. D. No. 4, Box
$50, Greensboro, in signed statement
which he has just given the newspa-
pers for publication. I suffered terri
bly, with pains in the back, nervous
ness, loss of slep and my appetite was
always poor. This all came from
the kidney trouble.
After my urine stood while there
would be a deep settlement in it, a
very offensive .odor. hot and feSerish.
and I've had to- get up every hour Of
the night.
A very good friend of mine told me
about the new herb medicine, Dreco,
that so many Greensboro people were
taking for kidney disorder and I de-
cided to give it a trial. l have taken
four bottles Of Dreco and now no set
tleInnt occurs in the urine, the OdOr
is gone and there is no fever with it..
I don't have to get up one time till
morning and the pains have about
gone from my back.
I am taking one more bottle of
Dreco tog ct good and we'll for am
going to work for the Government
soon and l want to be in good ply
sical condition.
I take great pleasure in recommend
ing Dreco to all my friends who are
troubled the same as l was. I feel
sure it can do anyone What it has
quickly done for me-
Here is a practical lesson for sick
men and women who are dragging
through life feeling miserable-a bur
den to themselves, q care to their rel
atives, and a bore to their friends.
There is no need going another day
feeling the way you 90. This wonder
