MILES, THE GREAT SPECIAL­ IST IN DISEASES OF THE HEART, NERVES, STOMACH AND KID- NEYS, Will Send • Trial Course of His New and Remarkable Treatments Free. When an experienced physician offers to give away $2.50 Treatments for dis­ eases of the heart, nerves, stomach, kidneys or dropsy, it is conclusive evi­ dence that be has great faith in it. And when hundreds of prominent men and women freely testify to his unusual skill and the superiority of his New Special Treatments, his liberality is cer­ tainly worthy of serious consideration. That Franklin Miles, M. D., LL. B., is one of the world's most successful phy­ sicians is proven by hundreds of won­ derful cures of well-known people. One patient cured after failnre of eleven Grand Rapids physicians, one after hav­ ing been given up by thirty physicians, one after nine of the leading doctors in New York City, Philadelphia and Chi­ cago failed. The late Prof. J. S. Jewell, M. IX, editor of the Journal of Ment nl and Nervous Diseases, said: "by all means publish your surprising results.'T Prof. J. 1'. Ross, M. 1)., ex-president of Kush Medical College wrote In 1874: "Or. Miles bus taken two courses of my private in­ structions in diseases of the heart and lungs."

Will not gentle spring come soon? School is closed for spring vacation. The moving season is over among the farmers and we welcome our new neigh­ bors, and give Godspeed to the old. A genuine thunder shower came up last Friday, and made it very unpleas­ ant for people away from home. The water ran in rivers in the roads and cul­ verts. Saturday evening another storm, followed by hail and snow, which coat­ ed the fences and trees with ice, and did considerable damage. Death has entered the home of one of our friends, and the mother is taken. Mrs. Ward, who has been a sufferer from paralysis for many years, died re­ cently at her home in this village. To the sorrowing family we extend our heartfelt sympathies, and say to them that there is a Friend who careth for us and who doeth all things well. Go to Him in this, your hour of sorrow.

Colds attack 1 the IUIIRS and contagious diseases take hold of the system. It is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown. Thedford's Black-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine is not a strong ana drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con­ stipation and may be taken by a mere child without possible harm. The healthful action en the liver cures biliousness. It has an in­ vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the blood and virulent contagion results. Timely treatment with Thed­ ford's Black-Draught removes the | dangers which lurk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will Bjsitively forestall the inroads of right's disease, for which dis­ ease in advanced stages there is no cure. Ask your dealer for a 25c. package of Thedford's Black- j Draught. FANCY GROCERS SOME INTERESTING PRICES ON FANCY GROCERIES! 5C i n5( IOC 5( I5( J5c Good Corn, 2tt> can..

Twenty were placed to­ gether, and thin one of them was Wil­ ed and cut up into pieces, feathers and all, and thrown to the other nineteen, who greedily devoured It The p^pceaa was related until, as was averred, the last duck had eaten the whole of hia, nineteen companions.
