FARMER'S READING CIRCLE OF INDIANA.

The purp ses • >f the farmepj reading circle ary: To cult vate among tiny people of the rur.il d stricts a taste for the best literature; to promote the intellectual and social. advancement of faimeis, farmers’ families, and farming communities; to induce as many Grmeis’ boj« and girls as pos,-, sible to adopt and pursue some systematic method of self-cultufe; to help make the farmer s life more cheerful ,and bis home mo. e attractive; and to contribute toward elevating his calling.to the place it should _old in the esteem of all mankind. Therd is a general revival of study" among all classes of p•< pie. It is now fully understood that to, quit school or coll ‘go does not mean-to-quit leading and study? Life is a growth, a progress, and that fact is com ng more and more to bi appi- jciated. The plan of the work is to select two first class b >oks each year,—one of an agricultural character^and the other on some phase of general culturc, cither history, civil gov< rnment, literature, or economics. ~ The books for Hie present year are Bailey’s “ Talks Afield, about Plants and the Science of Plants,” and the “Autobiography” of Benj m ; n Franklin. The former of these is a very attractive little book on plant bfp, written by one of the best scientific scholars in this country It is not a dry work bn b'otany, but s'mply tells us in an attractive arid interesting way, with the aid of one hundred illustrations, something concirning many plants wjth which we are more or less familiar,'jet what is told about them is new to a large majority of farmers.‘ It can be read with profit by every peison on the farm, especially the voting people. ■ hi the other book, Franklin, the sage, philosopher, statesman, and diplomatist, tel's in a plain, simple, style the story of_JiitL own life. It is a book full of wholesome instructions. now TO ORGANIZE. Let every school district organize one or more local circles at once. Do not put it off. The local teacher, in manj- case, can" be. count* don to assist in the work. Some one should lead out in the matter. Ask your neighbors to at your home some evening to consider the matter. Ap point a leader, or president, and, if thought best, a full s-1 of officers. (This is important, though not the most Important. The one important thing/is to read, discuis, and enjoy it. * ill this way to keep alive—to grow, i Order your books (one of each kind to each family is enough), appoint a time for the next meeting, and the good work is-organized. There-are no membership fees, and no expense of any kind except the books needed. Do not think that a large number of members is necessary. Th&best work is done when the clubs aie not too large. Six makes a good class, and a dozen is plenty. For further information, address the Secretary. SUGGESTIVE PROGRAMME FOR LOCAL CIRCLES. 7 to 9 o'clock, P. M. Reading minutes of previous meeting.

RUPTURE. Nott RuptureTure~ ■ ■ • * We are making the cure of Rupture a specialty. We guarantee a cure imaßjcases when a truss will hold iirffface and when there is vitality enough to produce healthy adhesions. We treat all kinds of Rupture in both sexes, and at ages from three months to se ve u ty- five years of age. We do not usa a knife nor draw a drop of blood. Oar treatment is mild and does uot stop the patient from light work. Wetreat patients on strictly business principles, but while this is true, we are "not«eo hardened as to tn rnaw ay th esc who can con vi n ecus of their honesty and willingness to pay for a cure at some time. To such wears prepared t<? offer satisfactory terms. The price depends upon the case, and as few cases are just alike/ an e.xamination is necessary before naming" the price. It usually takes about Ton r - weeks to cu rc an ordinary case, sometimes longer, depending upon the size of the break and the condition of the system. You cannot afford to have to wear a truss all your life and run the risk of havivgi a strangulated hernia, with mortification and death always liable to occur If you are ruptured you know’ it and you will know just as well when you are cured. If you desire to b? cured, call and see our physician. It will cost yoifmothing to find out all the particulars and if you want to be treated you have no risk to run as we ask no pay until you are cured Our physician_will want to see you only each—week. We have engaged Dr. I. B. Washburn Kensselaer, Indiana, to treat our patients.('nil upon him at his office on Monday or Saturday of each week. With the' kindest regardg to all who are afflicted ( . / Dr. Nott Rupture Cure Co.
