Gentlemen—•• Persuaded by a friend I have tried your remedy and / have
almost fully recovered after the use of a few bottles. I am fully convinced

Mr. C. F. Given, Sussex, X. B., Vice
President of “The Pastime Boating

“Whenever the cold weather sets in
I have for years past been very sure to
catch a severe cold which was hard to
throw off, and which would leave after
effects on my constitution the most of
the winter.
“Last winter I was advised to try
Peruna, and within five days the cold
was broken up and in five days more
I was a well man. I recommended it to
several of my friends and all speak the
highest praise for it. There is nothing
like Peruna for catarrhal afflictions.
It is well nigh infallible as a cure, and
I gladly endorse it.”---C. F. Given,

was obliged to cancel my engagements.
In distress I was advised to try Peruna,
and although I had never used a patent
medicine before, I sent for a bottle.
“Words but illy describe my surprise
to find that within a few days 1 was
greatly relieved, and within three
weeks I was entirely recovered. Iam

STRONG KIDNEYS
MEAN 8000 HEALTH.
There are no diseases that more quickly and surely derange the entire constitution than
Kidney or Bladder trouble, and it behooves every man and woman suffering from these diseases
to have themselves cured at once. The body depends upon the Kidnevs to throw off the waste
matter of the system, and when it fails to do this the result is an interference with digestion, a
sudden stoppage of the free circulation of the blood and a serious weakening of the heart.
Also rheumatism could not exist if it were not for weak and deranged Kidneys.

CURES
THE KIDNEYS
Kidney disease is the enemy we hare most to fear
as a result of the feverish haste of modern civilization.
It is a treacherous enemy working- out its deadly effect
under cover of such trifling symptoms as he^lacbe, slight
but persistent backache, dizziness, heart-throbbing, weak
digestion, constipation, frequent or diminished passage ot
urine, scalding urine, sediment in urine.
PRICKLY ASH BITTERS
Is a kidney medicine of the greatest merit. Its action is healing
and strengthening, quickly relieves aching or soreness in the
back, checks wasting or decay of the kidneys, corrects the
flow of urine and through its excellent cleansing and
regulating effect in the stomach, liver and bowels it V
speedily restores the strength and ruddy glow of
vigorous health.

WHEAT STEM MAGGOT.
Energetic Precaution Must He Taktu
or Tlila Destructive Pest Will
Greatly Increase.
The wheat stem maggot, or, as i(
is sometimes called, the wheat bull
worm, has proved to be rather a seri
oils pest in some localities, and we
apprehend that some precaution
must be taken or it will greatly in
crease, says the Iowa Homestead.
Its presence may be easily detected
in a crop. When the maggot form of
the insect, enters the stalk it cuts off
the stem just above the upper joint,
with the result that the head takes
on a ripened appearance while the
crop is yet green.
It seems to be more plentiful
where both winter and spring wheat
are grown in the same locality. In
this case the mature insects with

THE WHEAT STEM MAGGOT.
Wirgs deposit their eggs upon the
young plants of winter wheat. When
these hatch, the larvae feed upon the
central part of the plants on their
course downward. They remain dur
ing the winter in the surface of the
ground and appear in the spring in
the adult form. These in turn lay
their rggs upon spring wheat plants
and cause the destruction of such
plants as they feed upon. However,
the devastation of the first brood in
the spring is seldom noticed. It is
the second brood of flies whose
progeny brings about the work of
destroying the wheat beds. It is
claimed that even a third brood
makes its appearance and again de
posits its eggs upon young wheat. It
is our opinion that grasses will fur
nish Ihe necessary breeding ground
just ns well as winter wheat.
The accompanying illustration
shows portions of two heads of
wheat that have been affected by the
insect, as well as the pupa and larva
form and mature condition of -.the in
sect. These are magnified, and con
ception of the real size may be ob
tained by the little character placed
beside each figure, which indicates
their exact length.
The available remedies for this in
sect are preventive rather than cura
tive. Wheat should not be grown
continuously on the same soil, and.
indeed, long rotation should be in
troduced in which there are a variety
of crops. We have known many per
sons who were troubled with this
pest to burn their stubble, thinking
in this way that they brought about
the destruction of large numbers.
Fortunately there is a fungous dis
ease that attacks this maggot and
fly, so that there is some likelihood
of its rapid increase being prevented.

Wholexalc t hicken Picking.
The modern methods of chicken pick
ing are interesting. The chicken is
captured by means of a hook on a
long stick and a sharp knife stuck into
its mouth reaches the brain and causes
instant death. The penetration of the
brain causes the feathers to relax and
they are easily picked dry. An average
worker can pick about 125 chickens a
day. Feathers soiled by blood and wa
ter are used for farm fertilizers; col
ored feathers are used in the manufac
ture of featherbone whips, while the
white ones are mixed with duck feath

Trouble begins with the first back

forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp

Most backache pains are kidney
pains.
The Kidneys fail to perform the
duties nature intends them to do
and the warning of trouble comes
through tlie back.
Neglect t2ie kidney warning, grave
complications will surely follow.
Urinary disorders — Diabetes—
Bright's Disease—are the downward
steps of neglected kidneys.
Doan’s Kidney Pills cure every kid
ney and bladder sickness and the
cure lasts. Read this proof of it:
Mrs. Adam Guntle, residing at 701
South Plum St., Crawfordsville, Ind.,
says: “I made a public statement in
1S97 saying that Doan’s Kidney Pills
had cured a member of our family
after he had suffered for years with
a Weak back and kidney troubles.
He took three boxes of this remedy
and was completely cured. Now
three years have elapsed since I
made this statement and I am only
too pleased to reendorse it. I have
also used Doan’s Kidney Pills myself,
obtaining the best results. I have
recommended this remedy to my
friends and neighbors as one which
can always be depended upon.”

medicine which cured Mrs. Guntle
will be mailed on application to anv
