A good creamery, an up-to-date one, is a much-needed commodity in this locality. Now-, Mr. Dairyman, just stop and think for yourself, and don’t pay any attention to* what your neighbor townsman may say to you, for he is sure to say, “don’t you have anything to do with that creamery at Parr, for one-half of the creameries that are established are failures.” Now this might have been the case 15 or 20 years ago, but with the improved machinery and devices of to-day it has proved to be a total success. Just think, is it to your advantage to have an unlimited market at jour door and get the entire profit or is it best to sell or Bhip yo; r dairy products to some distant town and pay a commission besides the express or freight? Now, Mr. Farmer, wake up to your best interest and jump on the butter wagon and reap the great prize that it will reward you.

In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ that this nerve controls will also surely fall. It may be a Stomach nerve, or It may have given strength and support to the Heart or Kidneys. It was Dr. Sboop that first pointed to this vital truth. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative was not made to doee the Stomach nor to temporarily stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. That old-faslhioned method is all wrong. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to these failing Inside nerves. The remarkable suocess of this prescription demonstrates the wisdom of treating the actual cause of these falling organs. And It Is Indeed easy to prove. A sample five or ten days test will surely tell. Try It once, and see! Sold by A. F. Long.
