Greensburg,Pa., July 11, 1898. About four years ago one side of my abdomen began to enlarge from growth inside. It grew to such proportions that it seemed to fill the abdomen. Then dropsy began and swelled toth legs and stomach to twice their normal size. The doctors called the trouble enlargement of tne spleen, and told me I must die. I was removed from the hospital and sent for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm. I took seven bottles and' continually gained and am well in every way now. The dropsy entirely disappeared and left the growth very small. Michael O’Nell. For sale by Holthouse, Callow’ & Co. n

The Best and Cheapest. The New York Independent, the leading weekly newspaper of the world, and one whose pages exercise the widest influence is entering upon its fiftieth year of publication. The Independent emphasizes its fiftieth year by changing its form to that of a magazine, and by reducing its annual subscription price from $3.00 to $2.00; single copies from 10 to 5 cents. The Independent in its new form will print 3,640 pages of reading matter per year at a cost to subscribers of $2.00, while the prominent inagizines, which sell for $4.00 a year, prints only about 2,000 pages. The subscribers to the Independent gets 82 per cent, more of equally good reading matter at onehalf the cost. It is not only the leading family newspaper but by far the cheapest and best.
