WHAT THE: ICAUSE THE MANY DISEASES HOGS ARE AFFECTED: MBER AND WHAT WILL PREVENT THESE DISEASES

Frank Statement to the Growers of Hogs in the Corn Belt Which Covers Diseases of the Hog That Respond Readily to Treatment of Celebrated Wonder Stock Powders v.' / ' Do Noi Wail limn Mi Hoys Gel in i omni Milon Adopt a System of Caring for These Little Animals, Everywhere Known as Mortgage Raisers, by Taking an Inventory of Your Hogs Every Monday Morning

What we, the U. S. Chemical Company, claim are the causes of so many diseases hogs are afflicted with, by government reports and by experimenting we find that ninety-seven per cent, of all the diseases known to the hog family originate directly or indirectly through worms. This being true when you get an article that will keep your hogs absolutely free from worms and parasites, you will have them free from 97 per cent, of all the diseases; then by purifying the blood, cleaning and sweetening the stomach and suppressing the fever, you will have the animal in a,, condition to resist the other three per cent of the diseases in case they come■ in your community. We, the U. S. Chemical Company, positively guarantee to have a positive worm destroyer. We are putting out an all Drug Compound; not an ounce of food or filler is used in these goods, and we will positively guarantee to show results in from twelve to eighteen hours after feeding, in the way of expelling worms and cleaning out the system. By feeding a little of these powders once or twice a week you will keep your stock in a perfectly healthy condition, and you need have no fear of the dreaded diseases known to the hog family, such as hog cholera and swine plague, etc. Not only that, you will also have your hog s stomach in a condition so that it will extract ten to twenty per cent, more of the fatting properties of the grain than they would without the use of the powders, thereby giving you the returns on your investment.

Commissioner Downard has a force of men at work moving out the salvage and cleaning up the wreck. Judge James L. Clark has arranged to hold court In the Commercial chib rooms for the present, while the other officer have been moved into various vacant rooms around town, , It is probable that temporary roofs can be placed over the auditor's, treasurer’s, clerk’s and recorder’s offices, so that they can be used until it is finally determined whether or not to wreck the old building and put up a new one, or to attempt to rebuild that part of the old building that caved in.
