If your stomach, Heart or Kidneys are weak, try at least, a few doses only of Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. In five or ten days only, the result will surprise you. A few cents will cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn’t drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has its own controling nerve. When these nerves fail, the depending organs must of necessity falter. This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is so universally successful. Its success is leading druggists everywhere to give it universal preference. A test will surely tell. Sold by All Dealers.

LAND BARGAINS IN THE NORTHWEST. The Democrat is in a position to put prospective purchasers of land in the Northwest next to some good propositions, where they can save some money and buy land that is growing rapidly in value. If you are thinking of buying either for your own use or investment, write us how much you have to Invest and the sort of farm you would like. We can connect you with the right parties and you will be treated right. Call in or write for description of a 320 acre snap within 6% miles of Grand Forks, No. Dak., that must be sold within 30 days; qnly S3B per acre with half of this year’s crop, which will not be less than $1,500 and may reach $2,500; mortgaged for $6,200 which has four years to run. Farm will pay good interest if you never touch it yourself, and in five years will be worth $75 per acre at least.
