That Wonderful Churn.
I want to add my testimony to the list
of those that have used the Lightning
Churn. It does all that is cl`:med for it;
you can churn easily in one minute and
get a large percentage more butter than.
with the common churns. I never took
the agency for anything before, but so
many of my neighbors wanted churns
that I ordered 30 and they are all gone.
I think in a year every farmer will have
a lightning churn. In fact they can't
afford to be without one as they make
so much more butter and a good little bit
of money can be made in every township
selling these churns. By writing to J.

BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH
For 25 Years, Says Mrs. J. D. Stoddard. of
Ashbury Park, N.J., and Two Bottles of
Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart
Restored the Lost Treasure.
For twenty-five years I have been a
great sufferer from heart disease, palpi-
tation, dizziness and severe headaches. I
saw Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart ad-
vertised, and determined to try it. Two
bottles have done wonders for me. The
dizziness and palpitation are gone, the
headaches have disappeared. I never
cease telling my friends the wonderful
benefit this great Dura has been to me,
and I cheerfully recommend it any and
everywhere.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by loaal applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Faistachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have crumbling sound or imperfect hear-
ing, and when itis entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We wilt give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrb)that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir-
culars, free.

How to Cure Headache. -Some people
suffer untold misery day after day with
Headache. There is rest neither day or
night until the nerves are all unstrung.
The cause is generally a disordered stom-
ach, and a cure can be effected by using
Parmelee's Vegetable Pills, containing
Mandrake and Dandelion. Mr. Finlay
Wark, Lysander, P. Q., writes : •'I find
Parmelee's Pills a first-class article for
Bilious Headache."

ma'am." --Paris Gaulois. •

Why will you allow a cough to lacerate
your throat and lungs and run the risk of
filling a consumptive's grave, when, ba

the taste, and unsurpassed for relieving,
healing and curing all affections of the
throat and lungs, colds, coughs, bron-
ohitis, etc., etc.
