What A Hohd Physician Thinks of Swamp-Root. “GREATEST REMEDY OF THE CENTURY.” An Effectual Cure for Kidney, Liver and Bladder Diseases. C. F. Brown, A. M„ M. D.

“When I discovered that Swamp-Root was not a patent medicine, but the favorite prescription of an old and scientific physician with which he had treated successfully thousands of cases, my prejudices were disarmed and I began to prescribe Swamp-Root in my practice invariably with the most surprising results, curing many case* which 1 had considered hopeless. Whenever I find any one suffering with pain in the small of the back, a too copious flow or retention of urine indicating Kidney or Bladder disease, I invariably prescribe Swamp-Root, and it never fails to greatly benefit the patient, even in cases Os Bright’s Disease. I have also used it in repeated cases of chronic diarrhoea which It has never failed to cure after ail other remedies had proved useless. For all Kidney, Bladder or Liver diseases I consider Swamp-Root a perfect specific, and the greatest remedy of this century.” Suspension Bridge,N. Y. A t Druggists, 50 cents A SI.OO size, or of DE.

The days have about reached their shortest length.

An exchange says there are GO,OOO female agents in the country. It becomes natural for a woman to be a book agent. Why not make yonr wife a Christmas present of a nice new set of store teeth? Dr. Dowell will do the work in the best of shape and at the lowest prices consistent with good work. An exchange very correctly sizes up the situation in country printing offices. It says: “The year just closWML b us-hmm hard on newspaper publishers. Business men curtailed their ad vertisingand job work; subscriptions have been allowed to go delinquent, and faliingoff of patronage all along the line has been the result. The Independent, Womankind and American Farmer all for §1.50. This is a special offer that will hold good only until the first of January. Come in at once and secure the benefit of this liberal offer. Three good papers one year for §1.50 is ridiculously cheap and you can not afford to miss the bargain. Our exchanges say that parties are traveling all over the country with a sample of seed wheat which they show and claim will yield fifty bushel to the acre. They propose to furnish the seed and one hundred pounds of phosphate per acre and ask one half of the crop. This certainly is a good bargain for the one that furnishes the seed, but it is still better when the signed contracts turn out to be a note for two or three hundred dollars. A Straight Pointer.

W, SAILED THEO3BYEARS. One cf His Experiences. For thirty-eight years Capt. Loud followed the sea, most of that time as master of a vessel, and upon retiring from the water was appointed by the Secretary of the United Stares Treasury to superintend the seal fisheries in Alaska, which position he held five years. He relates one experience as follows: “For several years I had been troubled with general nervousness and pain in the region of my heart. My greatest affliction was sleepie s less; it was almost impossible at any time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen Dr. Miles' remedies advertised I began using Nervine. Afler taking a small quantity the benefit received was so great that I was positively alarmed, thinking the remedy contained opiates which would finally be injurious to me; but on being assured by the druggist that it was perfectly harmless, I continued it together with the Heart Cure. Today I can conscientiously say that Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and New Heart Cure did more for me than anything I had ever taken. I had been treated by eminent physicians in New York and San Francisco without benfit. I owe my present good health to the jud! nous use of these most valuable remedies ami heartily recommend them to all afflicted | as I was.”—Capt. A. P. Loud, Hampden, Me.
