BISHOP HANDY
SAYS
“ I Cheerfully Recommend Peruna to All
Who Want a Good Tonic and a
Safe Cure For Catarrh.”
Prominent members of the clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified en
dorsement. These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from
catarrh of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of public speakers,
and general catarrhal debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman.
Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of
Peruna is the following one from Bishop James A. Handy, D. D., of Baltimore:
“/ take great pleasure In acknowledging the curative effects oi
Peruna. At the solicitation of a friend i used your remedy and
cheerfully recommend your Peruna to all who want a good tonic
and a safe cure for catarrh. James A. Handy.

Edward Stevens.
Mrs. Edward Stevens, of Carthage,
N. Y., writes as follows:
“I now take pleasure in notifying
you that my husband has entirely re
covered from catarrh. lie is a well
man to-day, thanks to you and Feruna.
lie took six bottles of your medicine
as directed, and it proved to be just
the thing for him. Ilis appetite is
good and every thing he eats seems to
agree with him. Ilis cough has left
him and he is gaining in flesh, and
seems to be well every way. I hope
others will try your medicine and re
ceive the benefits that we have.”—Mrs.
Edward Stevens.
When the catarrh reaches the throat
it is called tonsilitis, or laryngitis.
Catarrh of the bronchial tubes is
called bronchitis; catarrh of the lungs,
consumption. Any internal remedy
that will cure catarrh in one location
will cure it in any other location. This
is why Peruna has become so justly
famous in the cure of catarrhal dis
eases. It cures catarrh wherever lo
cated. Its cures remain. Peruna does
not palliate; it cures.
Mrs. Frederick Williams, President
of the South Side Ladies’ Aid Society
of Chicago, 111., writes the following
words of praise
for Peruna from!

Mrs. W. A. Allison, of 759 Sheffield

about reruna:
“I have had fre

CRATES FOR THE FARM,
Indispensable Where Orchard and
Garden Work la Carried On In m
Strictly Up-to-Date Manner.
Every farmer should have a few
bushel crates. The illustration shows
one of the crates ready for use. It is
a slat crate throughout. The corner
pieces are American elm 2%-inch cor
ner sawed, thus one piece after it is
sawed will make two pieces to nail
slats on. The slats are Norway pine
lath, one lath cutting into three
lengths without waste. The two pieces
the bottom slats are nailed to are not
lath, but elm fence pickets one-half
inch thick. These hold nails better
than Norway pine and are stronger
than common lath. The corner posts
are 14 inches long, the end slats 12
inches and the side slats 17 inches long,
A BUSHEL CRATE.
making the outside dimensions of the
erate 14% inches deep, 12 inches wide
and 17% inches long. If you let the
side slats project over the ends of the
end slats the outside measurement will
be 12% by 17 inches, instead of 12 by
17% inches. One might think that one
half inch would not make nny differ
ence, but it does, in just this way: A
crate 12 by 17% inches works to ad
vantage in a wagon box, while 12% by
17 inches works to a disadvantage.
Three or four neighbors can decide on
the number of crates they want, and
then give their order to some local
planing mill and get the material cut
ready for nailing at a fraction of what
it would cost for each one to place his
order. It is better than employing a
carpenter, as the pieces must be ex
actly the same length—a difficult thing
to accomplish when the cutting is
done by hand.
The wagon illustrated is loaded with
boxes of potatoes ready for market.
You will notice that I have not only
crates for potatoes, but a rack for the
ir-T'?.-,, rrOa-, ■oW'V,

crates. This rack holds just 52 crates.
They are placed two deep and three
side by side, except the end tier of
crates, which are placed with the long
dimension parallel with the long di
mension of the wagon. Each la3rer
will then hold 26 bushels of potatoes by
weight without rounding them up
some. So these two extra, crates fill
up the lower layer of boxes after the
top layer has been unloaded, thus mak
ing our load weigh out 50 bushels.—

FRUIT TREE BORERS.
Valnnlile StiKKCMtiona Condensed
from n Bulletin of the Oklahoma
Experiment Station.
Many orchards suffered a heavy and
unnecessary loss during1 the last sum
mer from the attacks of borers. Most
farmers do not notice that there is
anything wrong with the trees until
the leaves turn yellow and begin to
fall in midsummer. After this stage
has been reached there is little hope
for the tree, and it dies before frost.
A glance at the tree will be sufficient
to see that the bark on the trunk is
dead and black in irregular spots and
lines. Just beneath the dead bark is
the borer’s burrow tilled with worm
just. If a large spot of bark is killed,
the bark and wood begin to rot, and
are soon tilled with a mushroom
growth which develops the fruiting
portion on the outside of the trunk and
resembles that which is seen on rot
ten logs. The rot may hasten the
death of the tree, but a tree that is
sound and free from blemish is very
seldom if ever attacked by this rot.
The best thing to do is to keep t he tree
free from borers and other injuries.
The land should be kept free from
grass and weeds and well cultivated.
Good, clean cultivation is worth more
than all the washes and dressings that
can be applied to prevent borers. A
good wash, however, is often worth
many times what it costs to apply and
will do much toward preventing the
attacks of borers and other insects.
A one-pound can of concentrated lye
dissolved in two or three gallons of
water makes a very good tree wash.
Another good wash can be made of
one-half pint pine tar, one-half pint
carbolic acid, and two gallons soft
soap. These washes can easily be ap
plied with an old whitewash brush or a
swab made of old rags tied on the end
of a stick. The wash should be ap
plied two or three times to the trunk
and large limbs during the spring and
early summer.
Swill Barrel Is Doomed.
The modern hog is well kept only
when it is kept in a clean place and
given sweet, wholesome feed, such as
will not carry with it the germs of
death and decay. The swill barrel is
one of the relics of a day that is fast
I closing to give place to a better one.
Winter dairying affords a good op
portunity to market all kinds of grain
and roughness to a good advantage
by feeding to the cows.
Oe-Hfness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There js
only one way to cure deafness, and that js
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

New England Women
Have an Abiding Faith in Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
After years of struggle to attain and merit public confidence, with a firm
and steadfast belief that some day others would recognize in us the truth,
good faith, and honesty of purpose which we know we possess, what a genu
ine satisfaction it is to succeed, and to realize the uplifting influence of the
merited confidence of a vast army of our fellow beings.
Thus stands the Pinkham name in New England, and all over America,
and nowhere is the faith in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound greater
than in New England, its home. Merit, and merit alone, can gain this.
ORGANIC INFLAMMATION.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkuam : — I was
troubled very badly with inflamma
tion of the bladder, was sick in bed
with it. I had two doctors, but they
did me no good. A friend gave me
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, and it helped me. I have now
taken three bottles of it, and I am
entirely cured. It is a God-send to
any woman, and I would recommend it
to any one suffering as I was. I think,
if most of the women would take
more of your medicine instead of
going to the doctors, they would be
better off. The Compound has also
cured my husband of kidney trouble.”
Mrs. Mabel Gookin,
Box 160. Mechanic Falls, Maine.
NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
“ For two years I suffered from
nervous prostration, the result of
female weakness. I had lcucorrhoea
very badly, and ^ time of menstrua
tion would be obliged to go to bed.
Also suffered with headaches, pain
across back, and in lower part of
abdomen. I was so discouraged. I
had read of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Com
pound, and concluded to give it a trial.
I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, and received
a very nice letter in return. I began
at once the use of her Vegetable Com
pound and Blood Purifier, and am now
feeling splendid. I have no more pain
at monthly periods, can do my own
work, and have gained ten pounds. I
would not be without your Vegetable
Compound. It is a splendid medicine.
I am very thankful for what ithas done
for me.” — Mrs. J. W. J., 76 Carolina
Ave., Jamaica Plain, Mass.
■ i I cannot help but feel that it is
my duty to do something1 in regard to
recommending your wonderful medi
cine. I must say it
is the grandest
medicine on earth,
and have advised
a great many suf
fering with female
troubles to take it.
I tell people 1 wish
I could go on the
platform and lec
ture on it.
“My trouble was
painful menstrua
ation. The suffering I endured pen
cannot describe. I was treated by
one of our most prominent physicians
here for five months, and found myself
getting worse instead of better. At
the end of the fifth month he told me
he had done all he could for me, and
that I had better go to the hospital.
“ My sister advised me to try your
Vegetable Compound, as it cured her
of backache. 1 did so, and took it
faithfully, and am now cured of my
trouble, and in perfect health, many
thanks to your medicine. I cannot
praise it enough, and would recom
mend it to all who suffer from any
female weakness.”— Mrs. II. S. Ball,
461 Orchard St., New Haven, Conn.

If Lydia E. Pinltham’s Vegetable Compound will cure these women — why

get well, commence its use at once, and do not let any drug clerk persuade you
that he has something of his own which is better, for that is absurd. Ask
