His back got so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions. No rem­ edy helped him until he tried Electric Bitters which effected such a wonderful change that he feels like a new man. This marvelous medicine cures backache and kidney trouble, purifies the blood and builds up your health. Only 50c at Julia A. Story's Drug Store. Great opportunity offered to gopd reliable men.

During the later years they have come to the front as a big yielder. Prof. W. A. Henry, of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, says of it in Bulletin 10: "For productiveness and stiffness of straw find thinness of hull the White Shonen stands at the head of the list." We have raised these elegant oats for three years. Last year we threshed 1528 sacks -of oats averag­ ing 85 lbs. to the sack from fifty-five acres, or an average of 73 bu. per acre. It surely pays to discard your old run out and mixed oats and get an oat with new vigor and productiveness. We pay the greatest attention to our seed oats and know what we offer is the pure and" genuine White Shonen. These oats are grown on our farm and are free from foul weed seed. We offer these oats at 35 cents in 1 to 30 bushel lots and cents in larger lots. Oats delivered at C. N. W By. at Ring wood, free of charge.. Extra charge of twenty cents will b# made for bags when we furish them. SMITH BROS., Eingwood, 111. Telephone Citizens' ^ « Banker Routs A Robber! <' J. R. Garrison, Cashier of the bank of Thornville, Ohio, had been robbed of his health by serious lung trouble until he tried Dr.King's New Discovery for Consumption.
