no cure equal to it, and its powerfnl aciinn
on the mucous surfaces of the thrfiat and
Inngs, removes all soreness and inflammation
therefrom, and protects the feeble from Con
sumption. Equally valuable as a corrective,
the thousands of ladies who suffer untold
miseries from fnnctional derangements, will
gratefully appreciate its comforts, as it gives
entire relief from Painful Periods and estab
lishes the bealibful regularity ofuie disturbed
functions. Buy from your druggist*, Peebles
& Read, a $1 bottle or a sample bottle at
15 cts. and test its merits.

WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
lRt. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the proper
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowedjlo remain there from 3 to
5 years.
2d. l’he wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped by the latest improved tnacbiu
ery, and put together by the host Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d. Our Patent Bevel Edged P ejecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con
sequently saves the felloe from wearing, when running in a frozen rut, or on a rocky road.
4th. The Thimble-Skeins are made of select iron, and weigh from 4 to 25 pounds
per set more than any others made, and therefore do not break.
sth. Tie Sffeins are set by a patent skein setter, which take? exact pattern of the
inside of the skein to which the axle is to be fitted, thereby makiug a true fit, and a perfect
running wagon.
6th. It is the only wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, hence they
have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carefally
examined by persons purchasing
7th. The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein Iwxes are turned to fit ‘on an iron
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect
and tight fit, preventing the box from ever working loose, or allowing oil or water to soak
in between the box and the bub, as is the case io most makes of wagons where the boxing
is wedged in.
Bth. It took the highest award of merit and the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex
position, for excellence of material and superior workmanship in competition with the world*.
9th. The Stodebaker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, arid do not intrust it to the foreman, as is generally the case io large factories,
hence the superiority of their work over all others.
LOth. It is the Best wagon when New, and Good when Old. Farmers and Team,
sters will tell you so! Dealers'who hove sold them will tell you so 1
Mercantile success has demonstrated that more money has been made bv handling
Good Goods at High Prices, than by bandliog Inferior Goods at Low±Prices. For sale by
