Unusual Experience Granted Le Roy Bowen-Given
Die by Four Doctors Because of a Serious *
cation of Diseases—How He Saved Dimself.
TO AID FRUIT GROWERS
I MEASURE PASSED AT RECENT
UEGISIjATIVK SESSION
IN ATLANTA.
From the Enterprise, Mapleion, Minn.
SIGNED AND NOW IN EFFECT
To escape death after being given up by
four doctors, anil bidden good-bye to family
and friends, is an experience not granted
every man. Yet it happened to Hr. Le Roy
Bowen, of Decoria township, Bine Earth Co.,
Minn.
Mr. Bowen is a farmer, but formerly re
sided in Mapleton, where he was clerk and
city marshall for a number of years. He is
a well-known member of the Masonic fra
ternity and is of sterling honesty and up
rightness of character.
His story is of the greatest interest. lie
laid:
“ I was suddenly taken sick in the spring
of 1895. The doctor was summoned. He pro-
nonnced my case one of gravel and said the
pain was caused by the passage of a stone
from the kidneys to the bladder. I doctored
with him for three months, but was not bene
fited. Once a week I would have a bad spell
of two or three days duration, during which
I suffered untold agony.
“ Finally I went to Mankato and consulted
a specialist. He stated that I did not have
gravel, but thought it was rheumatism of the
stomach. I continued to visit him until the
end of August. Then I became completely
bedridden and sent for another doctor, ne
called my complaint inflammation of the
bowels and treated me for that.
“ The doctor laid my case before the fac
ulty of Rush Medical College, Chicago, and
it was decided that I had neuralgia of the
stomach. I was treated ibr that until De
cember, but continued to grow worse. Then
the doctor said, 1 1 can’t do you any good.
All the help I know for you is an operation.’
‘Very well,’I eplied, ‘go on ana operate,
if that is left for me.’
"The appointed time came; the four doc
tors present examined me for two hours, then
they retired and consulted for the same length
of time. They concluded that they did not
know what ailed me. The head physician
asked permission to ‘cut,’as he expressed
it, ‘ and find out.’ I asked how big a place
he wanted to cut. He said ‘ he thought four
inches far enough.’ I did not want any snch
hide-and-seek game played with me, so the
operation did not occur. I continued under
the doctor’s care, but my case was con
sidered hopeless. I made my will, balanced
my accounts and made every preparation for
death;
“Day after day was passed in intense
agony. As a last resort I told my hired
man to get a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People. I had read consider
able about them and thought I would try
them. Immediately after beginning the use
of these pills I commenced to feel better and
in two weeks I was out of bed and around,
thanks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People.”
I hereby certify the above statement is true,
to the beat of my knowledge and belief.

Approved Dec. 20, 1898. •
It has been held that consumption is
hereditary, and the fact that one person
of a family hail died with consumption
was considered a sure sign that others of
that family could not escape it. This is
partly true and partly untrue. A man
with weak lungs is likely to transmit that
weakness to his children; but there is no
reason why the weakness should be al
lowed to develop. Keep the lungs full
of rich, red, wholesome blood, and the
weakness will disappear. Decaying tie
sues will be. thrown off,and new material
will be added until the lungs are well
and perfectly strong again. This is the
thing that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery does, This is what makes it
cure 98 per cent.of all cases of consump
tion where it is taken according to di-
rectons. It searches out disease germs
wherever they may be in the body and
forces them out of the system. It sup
plies the blood with rich,life-giving prop
erties. It makes tbe appetite good,diges
tion perfect. Send'21 cents in one-cent

four inches. This should be done in the
winter between Deo. I and Jan. 15. If
done earlier, vegetation is too much in
the way. - If done later, there will be
danger of causing the trees to bloom too
early.
In May give the orchard another
cultivation, most advantageously done
with a cutaway harrow, plowing abont
tbe same depth as before. The season
following give tbe same fertilizers and
the same plowings. If the trees are
rather vigorons, leave off the May plow
ing.
When yon have starved out the blight
and have got tbe trees to where they
make but a small growth' annually,
whiob will be just before you commence
the fertilizing, and plowing described
above; then-is the time toprnne, prune,
prune. Don’t prnne with a knife or
shears* but with a saw. Saw off the
worst blighted limbs, the straggling
limbs, the chafing limbs and the very
tall limbs. Cat them half in two, re
ducing tbe tree nearly one-half.
Apply kainit and acid annually; give
the orchard two plowings; never plant
peas, beggar weeds or tarn- under a
heavy crop of apy vegetable growth.
Then count blight a blessing, for you
will have studied tbe requirements of
pear trees and supplied their needs, says
£. W. Stone of Georgia in The Rural
New Yorker.
Refuse Salt ou Compost.
Question—I have a lot of refuse salt
on baud. Would you advise putting it
in my compost heap, and if so. in what
proportion?
Answer—Strictly speaking, salt is
not a fertilizer, as an analysis shows it
to contain little or no plant food. From
ancient times, however, down to the
present day it has been applied to land
generally with beneficial results, so that
experience, our best teacher, indorses
its use. On lands that are near enough
to the sea to receive the salt spray,
which storms often carry to a consider
able distance inland, or on such-lands
as contain chlorine and soda in any
form, salt would have no appreciable
effect, but on soils of' an opposite char
acter an application of salt is frequently
very beneficial By some means its
presence brings about a chemical change
in the soil which renders available an
additional amount of plant food for the
growing crops. Not only this, but the
great affinity it has for water causes it
to attract from the dews and the vapors
of the atmosphere an amount of mois
ture, which, in a drouth, enables the
crops to resist to some exten t, 1 _ie effects
of the dry weather. A' liberal applica
tion of salt is said also to prevent rust
in cotton, though this is not well es
tablished. An additional benefit to be
derived from an application of salt is
that it kills the larvae of many noxious
insects, such as cutworms, etc. I would
advise you to use it in your compost
heap, in such proportion as that from 5
to 10 bushels will be applied to the acre.

Men’s Voices.
Says Dr. H. L. Hastings in The
Journal of Medicine and Science:
“Women go with their necks bare,
and men keep theirs swathed and
bandaged; and ten women have
sweet voices to one man. A man’s
voice should be as pure as a wom
an’s. Why is it not ? He is choked
and shaved.”,
