WHY MRS, PINKHAM
Is Able to Help Sick Women
When Doctors Fail.
How gladly would men fly to wo
man s aid did they but understand a
woman’s feelings, trials, sensibilities,
and peculiar organic disturbances.
Those things arc known oniy to
women, and the aid a man would give
is not at his command.
To treat a case properly it is neces
sary to know all about it, and full
information, many times, cannot be
given by a woman to her family phy
sician. She cannot bring herself to
tell everything, and the physician is
at a constant disadvantage. This is
why, for the past twenty-five years,
thousands of women have been con
fiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham,
and whose advice has brought happi
ness and health to countless women in
the United States,
Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, 111.,
whose portrait we publish, advises all
suffering women to seek Mrs. Pink
ham’s advice and use Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, as they
cured her of inflammation of the ovaries
and womb ; she, therefore, speaks from
knowledge, and her experience ought
to give others confidence. Mrs. Pink
ham's address is Lynn, Mass., and her
advice is absolutely free.
WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS.
Minnesota has 200 less inmates in
prisons and reformatories than it had
in 1897.
An association in Raleigh, N. C., is
making an effort to preserve the boy
hood home of President Andrew
Johnson in that city.
A hotel erected near the grounds ot
the BulTalo exposition covers nine
acres and can serve 5,000 customers
at one time in its dining-room.
Tampa, a child of Havana in the
cigar-making industry, has outgrown
its mother as a purveyor for the
United States of all Havana cigars.
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, says in
a newspaper communication that “ex

New Yonk has just introduced a
bath equipment into one of its public
schools, situated in a crowded tene

VERDICT MEANT DEATH.
Aldrich, Mo., May 27.—Four of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore, of
this place, who has been suffering with
a very severe case of Nervousness and
Kidney Disease. Each of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing of Dodd’s Kidney Fills, she
began to use them, and instantly no
ticed a change for the better. Her im
provement has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance
of dark spots floating before her eyes. j
Her nerves were so bad that many :
times they would collapse completely, !
and she would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd’s Kidney Pills !
saved her after four doctors had given j
her up, has caused no end of talk in this
neighborhood, and all are loud in their I
praises of this new remedy—Dodd’s
Kidney Pills—which is curing so many J
hitherto incurable cases, in this state !
and elsewhere.

USES OF THE SILO.
It Hrlin to Make the Farm Riche*
Allows You to Work It Harder
and Saves Feed BlUa.
Yes, build a silo. You are in farming
is a business. Why not act according
ly? It will fit into the whole operation
of your farming, and if you make
dairying a specialty it will, without
a hint of a doubt, fit into your cow
keeping.
It does not matter what fellows
who never had silos say. Nor does
the experience of the man who had a
bad silo and consequently bad silage
count against the good silo and the
good silage. Those fellows don’t
know. Hotter take evidence from a
competent witness. (Jo ask some one
who does know and who can reinforce
his knowledge with increased live
stock, better kept and more profit
able—the man who has proven the pud
ding by having eaten of it. There has
been no plant discovered from which
we American farmers can produce as
much good food for our cows as from
our corn, and up to this time no way
has been found by which so much of
the feeding value and the palatability
can be saved as in a good silo. There
Is no other feed that I have found more
relished by my cows than silage. A
great deal of the starch that goes in
with the corn comes out sugar in fhe
pilage, and when it has gone into the
mouth of a good cow it comes out milk
in the bucket.
In corn we produce food value more
theaply than in any other growth and
In the silo we preserve it more cheaply
than by any other method.
The silo is not omnipotent; it does
not hold the balance of power between
success and failure for the careless,
lazy farmer. But it is like a good wife,
it can assist mightily. It is like reli
gion, one must have it to know what a
good thing it is and only the good
kind is worth having. Not only are the
corns and the clovers and the beans
put into the silo, but the sweet green
ness and the odors of summer as well,
and the winter dairy tastes the corn
fields from the silo. Yes, built a silo.
It helps the dairy, and the young stock.
It helps you make your farm richer
end allows you to work it harder. It
saves you feed bill and fertilizer bills.
It eases up prosperity a little.—W. F,
McSparran, in Ohio Farmer.
KEEPING UP THE FARM.
(Jnlesd the Soil Is Enriched Syst-'inat.
icnlly, l'allnre of Crops Is Al
most Always the ltcsnlt.
Keeping up the farm, the most im
portant part of farming, seems to lie
what most farmers overlook. They
teem to think that a farm ought to
raise crop after crop without ever
wearing out. Such is not the case.
The farm must be kept up if we ex
pect to make a success of farming.
The common practice in this country
is to take everything oft' the ground;
never putting anything back to pre
serve its fertility.
A great many think that if they let
a field grow up to weeds for a year
and then burn the weeds off that such
treatment is sufficient to keep the
ground in good condition. Some sow
clover and then pasture it off into the
ground. This leaves the soil in no
better condition than if they had not
sowed clover. On. land thus treated
some farmers will sow wheat or corn.
They don’t get a crop. Then comes
the old cry, “no use to sow wheat,
for we broke up clover sod and got
nothing.” The trouble is they did not
plow under any clover at all, when
they should have plowed under the
clover when it was in full bloom. It
the land was thus managed good crops
would be raised and the soil enriched.
Another mistake that some farmers
make is in not cutting up all the corn
raised on the farm for fodder and
feeding it with all the straw on the
place. A small feed yard should he
made for this purpose and the straw
stacked in the feed yard at threshing
time. During the winter feed the fod
der around the strawstack, and once
every month throw a barrel of lime
around the feeding place. This will
furnish manure enough to cover sev
eral acres of ground, which should be
hauled out before threshing time, and
the yard made ready for the new crop.
Manure should always be plowed un
Her for best results. If the farm were
managed in this way its fertility would
be preserved and good crops of all
kinds of grain could be raised.—C. E.
Kearney, in Rural World.
Bones and Bone Cutters.
Bone for poultry is usually put
chased from local butchers, the price
depending upon the locality; some
times it is given away. Bones may
be kept a long time by subjecting
lliem to sulphur fumes for half an
hour in a suitable box having a lid.
An old trunk serves well. Put, the
bones in, light a sulphur candle or a
tablespoonful of sulphur, and close
the lid. A bone cutter is almost in
dispensable to success, as bones
greatly assist in making hens lay. It
is not known which is the best cut
ter, as each has claims in its favor;
but that a bone cutter will soon re
pay its cost is conceded by all poul
trymen who are enterprising.—Farm
and Fireside.
Horses Thrive on D&lnties,
Succulent food should be provided.in
sufficient quantities to give the horse
a ration at least once a week. Car
rots are a favorite food for horses,
as they tone the digestion and im
prove the appearance of coat. Horses
will soon learn to eat potatoes, sugar
beets, cabbage and rutabagas. If
roots cannot be obtained, ensilage will
be found a good substitute, especially
f made from clover, or soy bear.% to
islarrce the winter rations. If root* j :
>r ensilage cannot be obtained, tbrn ‘
i good bran mash should be subyth
j.ted once a week.—Eural World.

THE SASKATOON DISTRICT,
One of the New Western Canada Dia«
tricts—The Great Advantages of
Settlement Where the Soli Is
of tnexnniiiled Fertility.
During the past year or two a large
lumber of American settlers (those
going from the United States to Can
ada), have made homes in the Saska
toon district in western Canada. They
have found the climate all that could
be desired, and their prospects are of
the brightest. In writing of it a cor
respondent says:
The lands for sale are choice selec
tions from a large area, and every
farm is within easy distance of a rail
way station. Experience has shown
that this district enjoj's immunity
from summer frost, from cyclones and
blizzards. The South Saskatchewan,
flowing through the tract, is one of
the finest rivers in the country, being
navigable and having an average width
of stream of 1,000 feet.
The agents of the government of
Canada, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere in your paper, and who will
be glad to give full information, tell
me that within the limits of the tract
there are two distinct varieties of soil.
One is a rich black loam; and the oth
er is a somewhat lighter loam, contain
ing a small admixture of sand. There
appears to be no appreciable differ
ence between the fertility of these
two kinds of soil. Both are alluvial
in their characteristics; both are mar
velously productive, and both rest
upon a sub-soil of clay. The advan
tage of this formation is that it re
tains the heat of the day during the
night, and is favorable to the early
maturity of crops. Every kind of
crop will here attain the highest per
fection of quality. The land is ad
mirably adapted for stock raising and
dairy farming, as well as growing
grain. Some idea of the richness of
the natural grasses of the prairie may
be formed from the fact that more
than 200 tons of hay were gathered
within a short distance of Saskatoon
and stored up for use during the win
ter. A growth so luxuriant demon
strates beyond all possible question
the suitability of the land for pastur
ing cattle, and no doubt this important
industry will be largely carried on.
Nature has been lavish in her gifts
to this territory. Not only is the soil
of unexampled fertility, but the cli
mate is delightful and healthy. Such
is the testimony of every settler, aud
this testimony is confirmed by enthu
siastic opinions from every traveler,
explorer, missionary or newspaper
correspondent who has ever visited
this far-famed Saskatchewan Valley.
In former years vast herds of buffalo
came here to winter from the elevated
storm-swept regions south of the
United States boundary line, proving
thereby the adaptation of these roll
ing prairies to the purpose of raising
stock. The land is dry, wTith sufficient,
but not excessive, rainfall, capable of
early cultivation in the spring, and
free from summer frosts. The con
figuration of the country renders arti
ficial drainage unnecessary, and pre
vents the accumulation of s^agnant
pools; mists and fogs are seldom
seen. The days of summer are full
of sunshine, under the genial influ
ence of which crops rapidly ripen.
Autumn is characterized by an almost
unbroken succession of fine weather,
during which the crops are safely gar
nered. In winter it is cold, but ex
tremely exhilarating and pleasant,
owing to the wonderful dryness and
bracing qualities of the air. The win
ter is a source of profit as well as en
joyment to the people, being far
healthier than a humid climate.
Water and fuel, these two prime
necessaries of life, are plentiful
throughout the district.
BACKACHE
MISS LUCY ANNIE IIEISER, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.
Miss Lucy Annie Heiser, a graduated nurse of nine years’ experience,
trained and graduated from the Homeopathic Hospital of Minneapolis, Minn.,
writes as follows:
Albert Lea, Minn., Nov. 8, 1899.
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen—“ Although my school does not believe in patent medicines,
/ have found it to be a fact that Peruna is a grand and valuable medicine. I
have known it to cure Mrs. Sampson, suffering with an inflamed womb, aggra
vated by malaria, after the doctors had failed to help her. Another of my
former patients suffered with a complication of female diseases; she was so
thin, nothing but skin and bones, but Peruna cured her and she is to-day in
good health and good flesh. Facts prove that Peruna revives lost strength and
restores to the sick that most wonderful blessing of life—health. ”
Lucy Annie Heiser.
If all the tired women and all the nervous women, and all the women that
needed a tonic would read and heed the words of these fair ladies who have
spoken right to the point, how many invalids would he prevented and how
many wretched lives be made happy.
Peruna restores health in a normal way.
Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in this way
restores the functions of every organ.
From Mrs. Amanda Shumaker, who
has charge of the Grammar Department
of the Public Schools, of Columbia City,
Wash., also Past Grand of Independent
Order cf Good Templars, Dr. Hartman
received the following letter:
Columbia City, Wash.
“I can speak only good words of the
repeated benefits I have had from the
use of Peruna.
“ Too constant application to work
last winter caused me to have severe
head and backache and dragging pains.
/ could not stop my work, neither was
/ fit to go on. Reading of the bene
ficial results from the use of Peruna I
purchased a bottle and within a few
days after using it, began to feel better.
“ I constantly improved and before
the seventh bottle was completely used,
all pains were gone, my strength was
restored, and I now seem ten years’
younger.
“ If I get tired or feel bad, Peruna at
once helps me, and I feel you deserve
praise for placing such a conscientious
medicine before a suffering public.”
Mrs. Amanda Shumaker.
Mattie TJ. Curtis, Secretary Legion of
Loyal Women, Hotel Salem, Boston,
Mass., writes:
“ I suffered for «■«
over a year with
general weak
ness and debili
ty, manifested
especially in se
vere backache
and headache.
“ My physician
prescribed differ
e n t medicines
none of which
seemed to help,
me any until a
club associate
advised me to try
Peruna as it cured her of constitutional
headache and stomach troubles. I at
once ordered a bottle and before it was
used, felt greatly improved.
“ I have taken four bottles and for
two months have been entirely free
from these maladies. Several of my
friends are using Peruna with bene
ficial results, especially in cases of
troubles with the kidneys and other
pelvic organs, together with weak
nesses peculiar to women.”
Peruna is a specific for the catarrhal
derangements of women.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give' you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,O.
