I American Made Agricultural Implements Sold Cheaper In Foreign Countries than al ' Home. B, low is given an extract from Senator Voorhees' speech in the Ui.lted States senate September 3, last: How dares the American manufacturer Compel the American farmer to pay him for a mower which he sells in South I America for 140, or <9O for a leed eutter which he sells in the Argentine R<-| uhlic y for |6o?

EH' : This hot weather is sure to be followed H by a sickly season, in malarial, typhoid Hl and kindred diseases will rage. Expe- ®|| rience teaches that more sickness is proH| duc> d by the water used than any other Ml. cause. This is not to be wondered at, as ■ the water in many wells is of such a naPjl lure that every gill of it furnishes a coinm'plete menagerie of all manner of beasts 11 nnJ creeping things in mi. hture. These |H consists of microbes, bacillae, antl'.ropod, EM cocktails, etc., which are the seeds if dis |H ease and only wait to be planted in some HH human sj stem. A microscopic examtuaHtion would reveal wonders, the sight of |H which is capable of turning an elephant’s ■ Co'tiach. There are fierce fifty-legged UH creatures with wide spreading horns and

... ■■ ■■ ■ ■ 11 —' « 11 > v ’ forked tails. There are others of gentler demeanor and repose with a jelly-fish dig nlty, which will slide down the esopagus of the unsuspecting and take up their abode in the region of the diaphram and plan a campaign against the life ot Its victim. A pint of this impure water will furnish food for the study of the entomologist for a whole season, and contains many creatures which the unsophisticated would be afraid to meet at night and alone. Many people of the city use great care to >emove these creatures from the water before It is used. This can be done in part by a well constructed filter, which will remove some of the larger and fiercer of the animals. The smaller but more dead ly can be destroyed by boiling the water and allowing it to settle thoroughly. The time to be careful of the water is not after disease has invaded our city, but now, belore the germs of disease are planted. Deserving Praise. We desire to say to ourcitizens, that for vears we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Dr King’s New Life P Ils, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never ..andled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction.

These remedie. ave won tlnir great popularity purely on their merits. A. R. Pierce, druggist. LOOK AT THIS.
