They also improve the appetite, strengthen the digestion ai d regulate the liver and bowels. They are easy to take and pleasant in effect. j The spirit of improvement seems to be abroad in the country as well as in town. There is scarcely a farm that is passed but buildings are being repainted and repaired, new fences built and evidences shown on every hand that renovation and repair are the marked features of the present season. Miss Maude Dickenson, Parsons. Kans., writes: “I suffered eight years with asthma in its worst form. I had several attack during the last year and was not expected to live through them. I began using Foley’s Honey and Tar and it has never failed to five immediate relief.” Holthouse, Callow & Co. j The unhappy editor of the South Carolina Sentinel says: “Life would be more enjoyable and people would svmpthize with each other's labors more if business men would exchange occupations with each other at odd times, like ministers exchange pul• pits." And then he goes on to say that he'd like to exchange with the cashier of the bank for a week. Better get the job of receiving teller. “A few months ago food which I ate for breakfast would not remain on my stomach for half an hour.

Spero of Helmer, Ind., says: “It is the medical wonder of the age.’ Holthouse, Callow & Co. j Stop kicking about the weather and complaining it is “too cold" or “too hot. Let us be cheerful. We have the long, bright summer before us. After the summer comes the autumn, which is the grandest season of the northern year. A. (). Blanchard. West Bangor, N. Y.. says: “I have been troubled with kidney disease for the last five years. Have doctered with several physicians and I got no relief until I used two bottles of Foley’s Kindey Cure.” Holthouse, Callow & Co. j It was to be expected that some of the billionaire republicans, who are so common nowadays, would try to revive the long dead project of an United States bank and to corral the enormous profits that such a concern would reap. Hence Mr. Morgan’s idea is not surprising. Do you have sick headache, with nausea and vomiting, chilliness, yawning and general lassitude? That condition is caused by a torpid liver. Take Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm and Dr. J. 11. McLean's Liver and Kidney Pellets and a complete cure will result. For sale by Holthouse Callow & Co. j

Stoutsville, Mo., May 5,1900. Gentlemen: I have been troubled with indigestion and constipation for the last two years, and have tried every remedy known, but had never received any relief until I was handed a trial bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin through our druggist, J. YV. Watson, ami 1 afterwant bought a fifty cent bottle, which I can truthfully say has given me more relief than anything I nave tried. —R. B. Hurd. Sold by Smith, Yager Ac Falk. j The editor of a neighboring exchange calls himself a truthful man and yet, with all show of sincerity, he prints the following: “A Palmyra old maid school teacher took out her false teeth and laid them on a chair on going to bed a *ew nights ago. Some one slipped them away and left a horse shoe in their place. On arising in the morning she put the horse shoe in her month and wore it almost all day before she discovered her error.” Read it in his newspaper. George Schaub, a well known German citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant reader of the Dayton Y'olkszeitung. He knows that this paper aims to ad vertise only the best in its columns, and when lie saw Chamberlain’s Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most, terrible pains in her back and could gel no relief. He says: “After using the Pain Balm for a lew days my wife said to me T feel as though born anew,'and before using the entire contents of the Ixittle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could again take up her household duties.” He is very thankful and hopes that ail suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery.

Such a freak would be nothing new in this country. We have plenty of them. Mr. James Brown of Putsmouth, Va., over 90 years of age suffered for years with a bad sore on his face. Physicians could not help him. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cured him permanently. Smith, Yager & Falk, j If some of the boys who ride their bicycles forty miles an hour down the pike, would run a seven inch spike into their liver, hang up an eye on the fence and dig a hole into somebody’s front yard with their nose, they would be a little more careful. The lack of energy you feel, the backache and a run down condition generally, all mean kidney disorder. Foley’s Kidney cure will restore your strength and vigor by making the kidneys well. Take no substitute. Holthouse, Callow A: Co. j A few $2 bills are in circulation in this state of the old state bank of New Brunswick. N. J., which are worthless. They pass readily owing to their resemblance to the real thing. It is no offense to pass one of them, it seems, although they are worthless. Diploma of Merit. The Fox Crackrs have been imitated but not equalled. These imitations arc merely deplomas of merit awarded to competitors to Fox’s goods. Fox’s “Forex” is safe from imitators. The design is original and is entirely secured by patents. Blacklisting of a man is practically a conspiracy to ruin that man and starve his family. And yet a Chicago judge has decided that it was a lawful weapon for a corporation to use. YVe do not believe the supreme court will agree with any such doctrine. A traveling man confided to us the other day that he used Dr. Caldwell’s Sprup Pepsin in his family and need ed no other remedy, as it seemed to keep the entire family so perfectly free from constipation, indigestion, sick headache and stomach troubles. Sold by Smith. Yager & Falk. j In writing up a wedding the reporter of an exchange said of a bride: “Her daintv feet were encased in a pair of slippers that resembled fairy boots," but the careless printer caused the paper to say: “Her dirty feet were encased in a pair of slippers that resembled ferry boats.” Ira D. Reckard, Duncombe, la. writes- “My little boy scalded his leg from the knee to the ankle. I used Banner Salve immediately and in three week's time it was almost entirely healed. I want to recommend it to every family and advise them to keep Banner Salve on band, as it is a sure remedy for scalds and sores." Holthouse, Callow & Co. j Beware how you speak of a woman's character. Think how many years she has been building it, of the wounds received, of the toils and privations endured, and let no suspicion follow her actions. The purity of woman is the salvation of the race, and hope of future greatness and the redemption of man.
