HON. ,T. I). BOTKIN, CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE FROM KANSAS.
In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin, of Winfield, Kan.,
whose fame is a national one, says of Pernna:
My Dear Doctor—“ It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent cura
jLive dualities of s'?!!' medicines—Peru»»*»<i 1e *>ecfj nfflktcu
more or less for a quarter ot a century with catarrh of the stomach and con
stipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few
bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I am
sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna is
surely a wonderful remedy for catarrhal affections.”—J. D. Botkin,
Congressman-at-I^rge.
CONGRESSMAN BOTKTN is one of
the most influential and- best
known men in the State of Kansas.'
Whatever he may say on any subject
will be accepted by the people as the
truth. So famous a remedy ns Peruna
could not have well escaped the atten
tion of so famous a man. lie not only
has heard of the remedy, but he has
used it and was relieved of an affliction
of twenty-live years’standing:. Peruna
is the one internal remedy that cures
chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh
wherever located. This is a fact that
the people arc rapidly finding out, but
there are still a large multitude who
need to know it.
Mr. Frank Richter, of Winona, Minn.,
says in a letter to The Peruna Medi
cine Company:
“As a remedy for catarrh I take
pleasure in recommending Peruna for
catarrh of the stomach. I know what
it is to be afflicted with this awful dis
ease and consider it my duty to say a
word in behalf of the remedy which
gave me such relief. Peruna c ured me,
and 1 know it will cure anyone else who
suffers from this disease. It gives me
great pleasure to testify to the cura
tive effects of this medicine. Peruna is
a well tested and frequently used rem
edy, and for catarrh of i he stomach is
unsurpassed.
“My catarrh was principally located
in my head and stomach. I tried many
remedies without success. I tried sev
eral doctors, but. they were unable to
cure me. 1 read of Peruna in the pa
pers and five bottles cured me.”—
Frank Richter.
The gastric juice is secreted by the
mucous follicles of the stomach.
When this juice is normal it digests
(dissolves) the food without produc
ing any disturbance whatever. If,
however, the gastric juice is not nor
mal, digestion causes many disagree
able symptoms. This condition is
known as indigestion. Peruna will
cure this.
Mrs. Stelina Tanner, Athens, O.,
writes: “I cannot find words to ex
press my thanks
for your kind ad
v i c e. I never
once thought I
had catarrh of
the stomach. I
commenced tak
ing' Peruna as
; you directed. My
i stomach contra
filed to hurt me
| for about two
i weeks after I be
1 gan the medi
? cine and then it
I Mrs. Selina Tanner. ! stopped. I now
■ have a good ap
petite while before I was nearly
starved.”—Mrs. Selina Tanner.
Mr. L. O. Marble, of Geneva, Neb.,
writes:
“I do believe that my catarrh is en
tirely cured. 1 have not had any
trouble with my stomach for a long
time. 1 am as well as one of my age
could expect (seventy years). 1 have
had the catarrh ever since I was a
young man, and have doctored for it
for years and got very little better, but
thanks to you and your Peruna and
Manalin 1 believe I am well of it. lean
eat anything now and it doesn’t hurt
me, and Peruna is the only thing I ever
found that will cure the catarrh. 1 be
lieve it is the only cure for catarrh,
and 1 hope every one troubled with ca
tarrh will try Peruna and be cured.”—
L. O. Marble.

isfactory results from the use of Peru

ing a full statement of your case and

READY FOR BUSINESS,
The Farmer Who Succeed* la Hr Who
Think* him! la Prepared to Act
nt a Moment’* Notice.
While the farmer can do much to be
ready for the cropping season of the
regular crops grown, yet weather con
ditions may be such that different
methods of seeding and culture may
be required, and even other crops have
to be grow n than those contemplated
early in the season. The planning
even for such emergencies is a part
of successful and paying farming.
The writer has known, and so have,
our readers known, good farm land
which was intended for corn to be per
mitted to grow' up to weeds all slim
mer because a wet spring prevented
the planting until too late to make
what the owner thought a profitable
crop of corn. Possibly wheat was sown
on the land in the fall, but if 'some
quick growing forage crop had been
sown on this land, this’farmer would
not all the following winter have been
so short on feed.
Hence, readiness means not only
having definite plans to be pursued if
conditions are favorable, but even
supplementary ones which can be made
to manage existing conditions, though
these be adverse to earlier plans.
Farming is a gigantic operation, and
when farmers accede to this fact and
prepare for it accordingly the success
so desired will be much more likely to
be attained. The days of tickling the
soil and gathering a harvest are with
the past. And though agriculture has
not attained the place even among
farmers themselves that its im
portance demands, yet up-to-date in
telligent methods are being more gen
erally' adopted and the results are be
ing felt. And knowing that possible
changes in plans may occur, how to
meet them will prove one master of
situations that will increase one’s in
terest in farming. The knowing where
to procure seed needed for a supple
mentary crop is part of this prepara
tion. Farmers should post themselves
as to where seed of the various crops
can be obtained, and as to the farmers
in their section having seed oats, corn,
cowpeas, etc., for sale, and where can
be purchased any and all farm sup
plies. This knowledge enables a farm
er to be ready.—Colman’s Rural World.
HOW TO LAY TILE.
Valnrble Advice on n Snbject TIint I*
Xol ns AVcll Understood as It
Should He.
Tile when properly plaeed in a
ditch do rot require a covering’ of
small stones or gravel, and they will
do better work if the regular soil is
used for covering. Horseshoe tile are
not as good for the purpose of drain
ing as round tile. While they would
be reasonably sure to stay in place
if properly laid, they are not as effi
cient as round tile. The reason they
are not as efficient ts snoWii ill me*
cut. If but a small stream of water
is flowing, it spreads out over the en
tire flat surface of the horseshoe tile,
TWO .MOST POPULAR TILES.
and there is not enough depth of water
to cause the removal of silt or .sedi
ment which may accumulate. It is
far more difficult to lay horseshoe,
tile and no good work than to lay
round tile. If the round tile does not
make a tight joint with its neighbor*,
it may he turned until a place is found
where the joint is reasonably satis
factory. If the horseshoe tile does
not fit with its neighbor, then the shov
el must be used and earth removed or
filled in, as the occasion may require.
If horseshoe tile are used, they will
do better work if they are laid with
the tint file up, for then conditions as
to the flow of water are produced
which are more nearly like those
present with the round tile. When
round tile are laid it i^| well, to lay
a piece of common tarred building pa
per over the joint before filling in with
earth. No matter how tight the joint
is made, there is always a slight open
ing, and there is a possibility that soil
may pass into the tile and obstruct,
flic passage. After the tile are placed
a small piece of building paper laid
over the joint just before replacing
the earth will insure against obstruc
tion, says L. A. Clinton, among some
items of advice given in Country Gen
1 leman.
Tin- Maturity of Host,
Hogs vary to an astonishing degree
as to the time in which they will ma
ture. We hear yet of breeders that
claim to have hogs that go on grow
ing till they are live or six years old,
but of course breeding in modern
times, tends to eradicate this late
maturing habit. Now most of out
swine reach maturity in a little over
a year and reach a marketable
growth in ten months or less. For
breeding animals it is advocated that
the hogs he fed so that they will ma
ture rapidly and make their growth
during two years, it being argued
that such hogs will have more vital
ity to transmit to their offspring.—
