Old People and the Grippe.' IT IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUSj DISEASE WITH THEM - WITH THE YOUNG.

A Krnu-djr Tlml May lip From ihe Kepubllcan, Princeton, 111. Among the well-known fnrmerKof Huroar. County. Illinois, is William II. Lamb, of Milo, who with his wife. Mrs. Jane Lamb, are numbered among the pioneer settlers, j This family, now well along in years, is the centre of a large relationship, ami they stand well in the county, basing always i been prosperous anil conservative in busi- I ness matters. Mrs. Lamb, now 17 years of i age, has experienced two attacks of the grippe, ami her recovery in ncomparatively short time has been the topic of much discussion among the people of Bureau County wherever she is known. To ascertain the facts in the matter a representative of this paper called at their country home located one mile west of Milo last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Fuller, a daughter of Mrs. Lamb, met the reporter at the door and gave him a cordial welcome At her age Mrs. Lamb quite naturally feels much pleased that she is enjt^viug such good health us to he able to wait upon tier husband, who is now SI years old and quite feeble. Mrs. Lamb said: “I had always enjoyed good health during my life until the year 1SN). Then 1 had an attack of the grippe. During the winter of 181>8-’04 1 had a second attack which left mo in a very much enfeebled condition. My lungs and back were weak, and I bad a very troublesome cough which at times was so severe that 1 thought I should strangle. I tried all the doctors in this neighborhood and some from other towns, but none seemed to give me any relief or even stay the progress of thedisease. “My suffering at times was severe and it was the general opinion of my neighbors and acquaintances that I could last but a few weeks, some thought not more than one or two days. 1 told my daughter, Mrs. Fuller, that I was satisfied 1 had the consumption and that nothing could be done for it. 8he only laughed and said: ‘Mother, it can t be that you have the consumption, —it may be only a heavy cough. You remember I was reading of some of our friends over in La Malle County the other day who were greatly benefited by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and if yon will try (hem l "ill have Mr. Falierbuy a couple of boxes when he is in town to-day.’ “I told her they would probably do me no good, as I thought it was consumption, but still if her husband would bring them home I’d take them. He brought two boxes, and I commenced taking them. In one week I felt much better, and after taking three boxes I felt entirely cured, anil am now able to do about as much work as my daughter. Why, the other day when the men came from town with a fifty pound sack of flour in the wagon I picked it up and carried it in the house ns easily as anybody could.” Mrs. Lamb further said: “ I feel assured that my recovery is entirely due to the taking of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” Mrs. Fuller and her husband both said they were entirely satisfied that it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that had saved Mrs. Lamb’s life. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peeulartofemales, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical euro in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for #“.50. and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mnilfrom Dr. Williams' MedicineCompany, (Schenectady, X. Y.

Feeding the Krnod Sow, A writer in an exchange says: Many a. line litter of pigs is lost and especially in time when farmers want to be particularly good to their brood sows by giving them too much feed the first three days after farrowing. We have often noticed that the experienced brood sow should she be allowed to have her own way at that period and has the range of the farm w ill prepare her nest carefully on the south side of the hill, if possible, or with some other protection from the northwest winds. She will, if possible, make her nest near a spring or slough. If her habits are closely watched, it will be noticed that she will eat nothing the first day. The second day she. will probably go to the spring and take a drink and may be nibble green grass if there is any convenient. The third day she may be looked for to come home bringing her pigs with her with pardonable pride, and will usually bring a full litter of healthy squealers. We do not recommend giving sows this liberty, but it would bo better for some farmers if they did. Hy studying nature we can provide better quarters thau nature furnishes, can take advantage of the instinctive wisdom of the brood sow and also of the wisdom of man, hut upon one point, however, nature is inexorable; tile brood sow must not be fed heating food the first three days. To do so is to invite caked udder, or what is known as milk fever, and destroy a litter of pigs. The first day give nothing but water-—dishwater is as good a thing as can be given. The next day stir a little bran in it; the third day add a little bran and oats, the fourth day a little corn might be added, but the sow should not have a full feed cf corn for a week or two. There is no trouble in giving bran or shorts, or ground rye or barley, in the form of slop. in other words, the brood sow with a young litter of pigs should be given a dairy cow’s ration. She should be fed for milk and not for meat. It should be remembered that for the first three days the system is feverish and that in no fever is there any appetite.and therefore to encourage a sow lo eac food such us corn is simply inviting disaster. Never give sour milk to the brood sow wit’ % young litter of pigs. To do so is to invite scouring and ruin the prospects of tho litter. When pigs are two or three weeks old there is not much trouble in developing them right along, provided there is no disease to interfere with feeding operations. The difficult thing is to feed properly during pregnancy and the first two weeks after the litter comes into the world. There has been no time in the state when it was so important to look after these matters.

Partleulttr Prisoners. Prisoners, it has been said, think much of the rank of those who pass sentence of death upon them and the sheepstealer of bygone days preferred that his doom should proceed from the lips of a chief justice. Lord Campbell mentions a case where a sergeant presided on the Oxford circuit in place of the judge taken suddenly ill and a man was capitally convicted. Being asked, as usual, whether he had anything to say, he replied: ‘‘Yes, I wish to say that 1 have been tried before a Journeyman judge.”—Liverpool Mercury.

When a fire has to he kept up all night in the room of an invalid, an old loose glove should be kept handy, with a long wooden stick. With this glove on, a piece of coal can he picked up with the fingers and put on the fire without making a sound, while, when the fire requires poking, this can be done with the stick with far less noise thau with an ordinary poker.

Treatment of Hatter. A writer in an eastern contemporary says: Prof. Robertson, of Guelph, Ont., is authority for the statement that salt to the amount of a quarter of a pound a day should he added to the ration of a milch cow. He says that other conditions being equal, a cow fed this amount of salt daily will yield 14 to 17 per cent more and richer milk than if deprived of salt; that in hot weather milk vrill keep sweet several hours longer if salt is a part of the daily ration. An experienced dairyman says that good milk always foams—that the foam may be considered an index of the milk—that it indicates the power of the milk to hold the butter globules in suspension. The idea of imparting to butter the odor of (lowers is not as fanciful as may appear; its feasibility can he verified. Spread newly churned unsalted butter over the inside of two plates; cover over with freshly gathered rose leaves, sweet-scented violets or tuberoscs;in twenty-four hours the butter will become impregnated with the perfume of the flowers. Making butter is now recognized as a fine art, which will be more and more perfected in the future. New principles will be discovered by the chemist, new methods evolved by the scientist. It now demands knowledge and si-ill unknown in former days. In the wot Id’s onward march, the luscious golden butter of the future will require as skillful a hand as the painting of a picture or the writing of a poem.

The Alfalfa Creameries.—The wonderful increase of Alfalfa ranges in the arid regions of the southwest has developed the beef cattle interest in a marvelous way. In riding over these so recently barren deserts, the rich green Alfalfa ranges are literally covered with cuttle that have been worked up to high grades by the use of good sires in a very brief period. Until recently the dairy interest was so entirely neglected that good butter and cheese was not found except when shipped in from the East. Now as fine butter and cheese are made as in moister and cooler climates, from milk from Alfalfa fed cows, in rooms kept at just the right temperature by the ammonia process. It is indeed a growing interest, : but for a number of years the annual output will find a home market in the great southwest. As the years go on the dairy product will be increased in quality and market value by adding to the cow diet a ration of Douro corn and barley meal, which thrive admirably in the arid regions.—J. L. Budd in exchange. Dairy Returns—The usual farm crop very often fails in yielding owing to unfavorable seasons, depredation of insects, the drouth and other causes, and when the balance is struck very often the cost of production exceeds the income from the crop. But with welleelected cows fed and cared for intelligently and their products Judiciously handled a failure to receive generous paying returns is of very rare occurrence.—Ex. Pure milk is a good keeper.

Grain is poor as well as scarce and garden products are sapless. If the traveler eats meat or fruit he is threatened with cholera: if grain or vegetables, ho is reminded that the bubonic pest (which is the fatal “little sickness" of Bombay) chiefly affects vegetarians.

The Strength of Nature. According to the ancient mythology, when Hercules wicstled with Antaeus, every time he was thrown he jumped up again stronger than j ) ever, gaming fresh power from / f every contact with the earth. Hercu / / }«« conquered him at / ( lest only by holding yrjfv.e' / him in the air away LwL/ ^ from the source of his — ' -‘.rength, until he grew ^ weaker and weaker and finally became exhausted. V Antxus is a )\ perfect symbol of mankind. Nature is the real source of health and vigor The closerwe keep to Nature’s laws the stronger and healthier we grow. When we get away from them wc are sure to be overcome ii by weakness

and disease. When sick

"a ness gets hold ", of a man the only remedy to really cure him must be a natural remedy It must work according to natural laws and bring him right in touch v.-ilh Nature. Any unnatural stimulus or mere tempo,ary "appetizer” does no p< , inancnt good to a person who is debilitated and "run-down.” in these onditions the most perfict, n.d ura! strength builder is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It acts directly upon the natural nutritive processes, and creates solid, permanent strength and vital force in the same way that Nature creates them. ft capacitates the stomach and liver to vitalize the circulation and toed the nervecentres with pure, healthy Wood. This ta exactly Nature's way of curing nervous exhaustion, debility, insomnia, and neuralgia. During the past y> years.
