Greensburg, Pa., July 11, 1898. About four years ago one side of ray abdomen began to enlarge from a growth inside. It grew to such proportions that it seemed to till the abdomen. Then dropsy began and swelled both begs in 1 stomach to twice their normal size. The doctors called the trouble enlargement of the 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 drqpsy entirely disappeared and left growth very small. Michael O’Neal. Fqrsale by Holthouse Drug Co. n A Missouri country editor tells the following sad tale: A small cur dog o’errua with fleas, sat down to think once 'neath the trees. He watched a farmer plowing corn, and in his mind a thought was born. “If scratching earth makes corn,” said he, the lleas must thrive when scratched by me. So now I guess I'll scratch no more, and p’haps my troubles wdl be o’er.” A week went by he kept his word, but ah, too late he found he’d erred, for two fleas came whereene he'd had, and soon he died the dog went mad.

But who is there that can complain or cry in woe. “Alas!” So long as Mary’s calf's all right the lamb can go to grass. So all the men delight to gaze, their joy is not a sham, for while the other critter’s out they have no use for lamb.
