The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there
is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,' acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing
its   work. The   proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. (Send for

Many Pierz people have
stomach or bowel trouble

will remove bowel or stomach

Time to Revive Pastures and
Meadows—Hay Shortage
The much and long looked for
rain came Sunday and Monday.
Manv of us had already he
gun to abandon all hope oi
rainfall until the time for
the revival of vegetation had
passed. The rain was a good one
and it is safe to say that more
water fell during these two days
than all last summer. The li.
and especially the pastures are
already beginning to look fresher anel greener and the trees
are rapidly leafing.
Owing to the shortage of hay
and straw last year, and tin
lack of grass this spring due
to the prolonged dry spell,man-
y domestic animals were suficr-
ing for the want of roughage*
This rain had a most salutary
effect on all that breathes and
it is easily noticable that ev-
body now walks with a lighter
step and whistles a gayer tune.
