Some Instances owe most of its ebang-

So far as we latow, on living wheat In
the fall), very abundant at the experi-
ment station upon the early sown
wheat, especially upon very early plots
where dates of sowing are tested. Up-
on the later plots there is a diminished
amount, grading off somewhat accord- ,
ing to the relative earliness or the rela-
tive proximity to the earliest and most
affected wheat. That the same condi-
tion is attested by observations report-
ed by the entomologist and his assist-
ant and by others. In this connection
it may be stated that tbe Puceinia ru-

It's only natural that when a woman finds
a remedy which cures her of nervousness
and weakness, relieves her pains and
her whole system, she should be anxious
to let her suffering. sisters know of it.
Mrs. Hannah Holmes, St. James Street,
St. John, N.B., relates her experience with
this remedy as follows t--" For some years
I have been troubled with fluttering of the
heart and dizziness, accompanied by a
smothering feeling which pievonted me
from resting. My appetite was pot' 1.

Since I started using Milburn's Heart
and Nerve Pills, ths smothering feeling
has gone, my heart beat is now regular,
the fluttering has disappeared, and I have
been wonderfully built up through the toMC
effect of the pills. I now feel stronger and
better than for many years, and cannot
say too much in praise of the remedy whirl
