Wanti u i rult farm.
We are ttr receipt of a letter from
Mr. J. J. Netlerville, of
Ittd., requesting that the
be sent to his address. In the
ef his letter Mr. Netteville says:
“I understand yours is a fine ptach
county, and necessarily a fine climate.
I warn a place, Where I can spend
ly all my time }n the open air, ou ac
count of nervous trouble, and expect
to spend February and March in your
•eetton. If I can find a small frup
farm at a reasonable price, where cli¬
mate and surroundings *uit, I woulu
tike to spend my w inter* there.,. It
you can put me in cortesponence with
parties who have such places at thcii
disposal, you will oblige me.”
We hope Mr. Netterville will decide
to s end his winters here,
that he will be delighted with the cli¬
mate and other advantages. If any ol
*iur reader* have a farm for salt, such
u he desires, we hope they will write
to him at once.

“I was troubled for about seven
years with my storhbch and in bed half
my time,” says E. Demick, Somer¬

never could get anything to help me
until I tried Kndol Dyspepsia Cure. I
have taken a few bottles and am en¬
tirely well.” You don’t livs by what
you eat, but by what you d 5 gest and
assimilate.. If your stomach doesn’t
digest your food you are really starving.
