Allen Halverson of Prairie, YY'is., says: “People come ten miles to buy Foley’s Kidney Cure,” while J. A. Spero of Helmer, Ind., says: “It is the medical wonder of the age. ’ Holthouse, Callow & Co. s The lowa legislature has passed a bill which explicitly states that “a chicken is an animal.” Farmers who have believed that the chicken was a vegetable or a mineral will be very grateful for this information.

Foley’s Kidney Cure is a pure medicine and contains no concentrated form, remedies recognized by the most skilful of the medical profession as the most effective agents for the cure of kindey and bladder diseases. Holthouse, Callow <Jc Co. s A Missouri editor last week said: “We expected to have a death and a marriage to publish this week, but a violent storm prevented the wedding, and the doctor being sick himself, the patient recovered, and we are accordingly cheated out of both.” The entry books of the Portland fair are now open.

Sold by Holthouse Callow & Co. s lowa and Kansas are quarreling over Musician Titus, the gallant young chap who was the first to climb the wall at Pekm. He was Ixirn at Vinton, but afterward moved to Wichita. Kansas makes a strong point in support of her claims in the circumstance that Titus got shot in the neck. Large sun spots, astronomers say, caused the extreme heat this summer, and doctors declare nearly all prostrations were induced by disorders of the stomach. Good health follows good digestion. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat. If you have indigestion or dyspepsia it will quickly relieve and permanently cure you. Smith, Yager & Falk. ts It is estimated that the cost to this government of the trouble in China will amount to $15,000,000. This is the estimate placed on the expense of sending war ships to Chinese waters, of placing marines and blue jackets on shore in China, and of dispatching troops to the Chinese capital. Such is the testimony of thousands concerning Brown’s Cure, a Perfect Family medicine, the best remedy known for the liver, kidneys and bowels, a positive cure for dyspepsia and all bowel troubles, sick headache, nervousness, constipation and loss of sleep. If you suffer try this great remedy and find health and happiness. Sold by Page Blackburn. Price 5c cts.

Late corn shows no improvement in central Kansas; is a failure in portions of Missouri and Arkansas, and it is injured by drought in some localities ot Kentucky. Elsewhere the reports indicate an excellent crop of general good quality. Robbed th" Orsve. A startling incident of which Mr. John Olive of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electric Bitters; and tb my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement, I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. 1 know they saved my life and roblied the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them.

Smith, Yager & Falk. ts 1 here is no peace and comfort in this world. As soon as there is a promise of cooler temperature the political campaign opens with a vigor that will make many a politician warm under the collar. A good many consumptives would be cured and the worst cases comforted and relieved by using Foley’s Honey and Tar. Suggest it to those afflicted. You should do this as a friend.. Holthouse, Callow & Co. s Two Marion boys wore shirt waists to high school. The teacher passed them up and they called on the superintendent who gave them permission to attend school in a coatless state. Another victory for the “sassy shirt waist men.” Two candidates for the insane asylum saved themselves from the stomach troubles that drive folks crazy by taking Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It is guaranteed to cure every form of stomach trouble. Sold by Smith, Yager A Falk. s Abraham Lincoln being asked how he fell when the news came of a serious party defeat, said: “I felt somewhat like the boy in Kentucky who stubbed his toe while running to see his sweetheart. He said he was too big to cry: and too badly hurt to feel like laughing.” Chemistry has done many things for mankind, but the discoveries of 1891 that led to the manufacturing of Putnam Fadeless Dyes, was the master stroke. YY’ith these improved dyes, cotton, wool or silk can be dyed with one operation in half the time and with less labor than any other. Sold by Smith Yager & Falk.* 26-2 According to medical authorities, there is now in the United States one physician to every 600 people- proportionately twice as many as in Great Britain, four times as many as France has, five times as many as Germany has, and six times many as Italy has. How Bright’s disease starts. Indigestion, biliousness, blood poisoned with urea and uric acid (which should have been excreted by the kidneys), rheumatic pains in nerves and joints, causing irritation of the kidneys, then pains over the small of the back, mark sure approach of Bright's disease. Do not delay taking Foley's Kidney Cure, for it makes the kidneys right. Holthouse. Callow’ & Co. s Great is science! The department of agriculture in a report on "Mosquitoes of tho United States," says the malarial mosquitoes stand on their heads when resting. The average person who finds a mosquito resting, whether standing on his head or feet will kill him without this valuable information.

If a boy wants to be spider-legged and weak-kneed; if he wants to be short-winded and sunken-chested; if he wants to be thin-jawed and dead on his feet; if he wants to grow into a scrub that no business man wants to employ, let him be a cigarette fiend. Otherwise let him keep the nicotine out of his windpipe. Poisonous toadstools resembling mushrooms have caused frequent deaths this year. Be sure to use only the genuine. Observe the same care when you ask for DeWitt's Hazel Salve. There are poisonous counter feits. DeWitt’s is the only original Witch Hazel Salve. It is a safe and certain cure for piles and all skin diseases Smith, Yager A F'alk. tl A Chicago young woman is about to become famous through a project of her own. She is going to establish a “cat refuge.” If she will take in foreign cats, that is, cats outside of Chicago, there’s no doubt at all but that she will soon have cats enough to | make all Chicago howl when they I staart out on a war of conquest or a ' midnight jamboree.

If they would start to treat their kidneys with Foley’s Kidney Cure, the weariness of body and mind, backache, headache and rheumatic pains would disappear. Holthouse, Callow & Ca. s The month of August, 1900, passes into history as one of the hottest and dryest on record. The thermometer stood above the 90 mark every day but three on a few days going above 100. The rainfall for the month was only 69. of an inch. No relief for 20 years. “I had bron chitis for twenty years.” said Mrs. Minerva Smith of Danville. 111., “and at times have been bedfast. I never got relief until I had taken Foley’s Honey and Tar. It is pleasant and gives quick relief, and is a sure cure tor throat and lung diseases.” Take nothing else. Holthouse, Callow & Co. s People who are long-lived have certain physical traits that are not noticeable. In the first place they have straight backs. The majority of folks have curvature of the spine in some degree, unnoticeable it may be but it is there. The man who will live to be old has a straight back, holds his head up and has a broad, deep chest. Bitter fighting does not necessarily mean personal abuse or unsavory remarks. Keep your temper.

It ’will irritate you and cause dyspepsia, but vou can find relief for that in Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which is guaranteed by Smith Yager & Falk. ’ s A young man in a neighboring town who wished to go out in the world, received the following certificate: "The bearer has been in my employ and I have found him industrious, truthful, intelligent and sober. I have observed, also, that his services about the house were satisfactory to my wife, and any one who can get along with her is a ‘peach.’ ”
