Greensburg Pa., July 11, 1898. ■ About four years ago one side of my i abdomen began to enlarge from a 1 growth inside. It grew to sueh pro- ' portions that it seemed to fill the abdomen. Then dropsy began and i swelled both legs and stomach to twice their normal size. The doctors | called the trouble enlargement of the spleen, and told me I must die.

CLIMATIC CURES. The influence of climatic conditions in the cure of consumption is yerv much overdrawn. The poor patient, and the rich patient, too, can do much better at home by proper attention to food digestion, and a regular use of German Syrup. Free expectoration in the morning is made certain by German Syrup, so is a good night's rest and the absence of that weakening cough and debilitating night sweat. Restless nights and the exhaustion due to coughing, the greatest danger and dread of the consumptive, can be prevented or stopped py taking German Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you be able to go to a warmer clime, you will find that of the thousands of consumptives there, the few who are benefitted and regain strength are those who use German Syrup.

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST. >■ < I. MANY SEEKING HOMES WHERE LANDS ARE , CHEAP AND CLIMATE IS MILD. Low Rates for Homeseekers and Colonists | . Twist w I Many farmers in the Northern and j Eastern states are selling their high priced landsand locating in the Southwest —in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisi- ‘ ana and Texas. Manv who have been | unable to own their homes in the older country are buying land at the low j prices prevailing in the new country 55, 510, sls per acre and up. These lands are mostly cut-over timber lands, some of them possessing a deep rich : soil producing corn, wheat, oats, clover, cotton, fruit and vegetables. Well improved farms are scattered throughout this country. Many places with small clearings and some improvements can be bought’very cheap. Our descriptive literature gives a fairly good idea of this country. It tells about the soil, crops, climate, people, ’ schools, churches, water and health. It contains maps showing locations of | counties, towns, railwaysand streams,; and gives names and addresses of real estate dealers in the towns. Reduced rates for homeseekers and colonists are in effect first and third Tuesdays of each month, byway of St. Louis, Cairo o# Memphis and the Cotton Belt Route. Let us send you our literature and quote you rates. Address E. W. Laßeaume, Gen. Pass, and Ticket Agent, Cotton Belt Route, | St. Louis, Mo.

The Sennho Club met at the home of Mrs. Lawrence Smith Thursday afternoon in its regular weekly- social session and as usual the old routine of business took place after which they indulged in that old fashioned game of pedro at which game Mrs. Dee Lewton and Mrs. Dr. Connell captured first prizes excelling all the others in games won, while Mrs. Peter Stein and Jesse Shelter had to console themselves with the boobies. During the progress of the play, a fine two course luncheon was served and at 5:30 o’clock all members adjourned to meet again next Thursday after noon at the home of Mrs. Bertha Huer. The drillers on the oil well on the William Baughman farm are having a streak of tough luck. A few days ago the casing sprung a leak and several days was spent in mending the leak. Yesterday they were so unfortunate as to break their drill, the broken piece Wing lost in the hole. This necessitates the pulling of the drive pipe and casing, the moving of the derrick and starting of another hole. This change will take several days and it will be some time next week before drilling in the new hole begins. This is a string of bad luck that delays matters, besides it is expensive to the contractor.

The Best Remedy for Croup. —From the Atcbison, Kan., Daily Globe. This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an oldfsshioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu. but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedv is better, end does not cost so much. It causes the patient to “throwup the phlegm’’ quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. The board of commissioners were in session again Friday morning, the Zehr ditch petition being a subject of much discussion. The board held that the petition as presented was good, but the petitioners withdrew it and presented a new one, covering the defects about which remonstrators were active. The board immediately appointed viewers in the names of J. D. Winans, J. H. Holbrook and William Hoile, who will review the route and report at the next meeting of the board. Following a usual custom the board visited the county infirmary, which they thoroughly inspected. They- report everything thereabouts as simply shinning wish neatness, cleanliness and order. Among the other business done was an order for the Indiana Pipe Line Company to e±**i*to'n ' 1..±5* dence of George Tricker. The bill for the bridge and abuttment on the Jay county line was paid, the board having inspected the same yesterday, which they found to be in all things according to the plans j and specifications. The board will 1 likely wind up their business toi day.

OLD AND NEW WAY. Hyomei the Latest Jot De Cure of Catarrh. The discovery of Hoymei has wrought a wonderful change in the treatment of catarrh. Prior to three years ago the medi- ; cinesordinarilyemployed in the cure ! of this disease were nauseating drugs ! and worthless tonics. In some instances they benefitted, but the mprovement was not lasting. With Hyomei you take into the air passages of the throat and head a balsamic air that goes to the minutest cells, effectually killing all germs and microbes of catarrh. It i enters the blood with oxygen, killing I the germs in the blood, and restores i health to the whole system. Many astonishing testimonials have been ! received from those who have been ' cured by Hyomei. A complete outfit costs but SI.OO i j and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment. Perhaps the strongest evidence j that can be given to doubters, is the | fact that The Holthouse Drug Co. I have so much faith iiW Hyomei that |tney sell every package under a ■ positive guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. Now is the time to begin the use of Hyomei.

Miss Mattie Young the owner of a very nice slice of Blue Creek realty, is making some marked improvements, in the way of a stock barn. When competed it will be one of the most modern and best equipped buildings in the whole domain of Adams county. The basement will have concrete floors, a stone supply tank of one barrels capacity with combination watering trough, and water mains leading to hog lots outside. A four inch flow - ing well with rock pressure is also another improvement of this basement as well as the proper tiling to carry oft all refuse. The stone work is being done by George Chronister, while John Baker is superintending the work. It will be seen from the description of this building that rare judgment has been at work in designing it, and that before another winter is over its convenience will be found of inestimable value. The care of stock in winter is a matter of much importance, and buildings properly constructed are a necesity to the life and comfort of all kinds of stock.

Do Good—lt Pays.— A Chicago man has observed that, Good deeds are better than real estate deeds some of the latter are worthless. Act kindlv and gently, show sympathy and lend a helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it. Most men more appreciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons in this community who might truthfully say: “My good friend, cheer up. A few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold,and there is no danger whatever from pneumonia when you use that medicine. It always cures. I know it for it has helped me out many a time.” Sold by Holthouse drug Co.
