* A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER. Elijah Cook’s Terrible Experience iven for the Benefit of Others —Liv- ing Witnesses. The following graphic deseription will be read with interest by all: “DEAR Sir-—Any one who has ever felt a faintness at the pit of the stom. ach, loss of appetite, nervousness, sleeplessness, dull headaches or strange pains through the back can understand the condition I was in two years ago. I thought I could readily throw these things off. but they kept returning. Consequently 1 grew worse every day until last spring when I sent for a phy- sician. He sald I had a fever. I told him what condition 1 was in with my water, At first he paid no attention to it, but finally said he would take some of my urine home and analyze it. The next day he came and said there was some difficulty with my kidneys. My sickness continued uutil my urine was a sight to behold. Another physician was called. He pronounced it Bright's disease of the kidneys, and said there was no cure for it. He did all he could, but to no Tect, 1 then tried every remedy 1 could hear of. THE PAIN WAS 80 SEVERE THAT IT SEEMED I MUBT DIE. I saw a news- paper advertisement of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and sent eight miles to get the medicine. When I had used one bottle, it cleared my water 80 there was no sediment in the bottom of the vessel. I continued taking the medi- cine and kept gaining. 1 have taken eight bottles in all and consider myself to-day as well as ever, and can now do as much labor as any man of my age. While talking with our druggist a few days ago about my case, he said he was selling a great deal of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root and that he had never sold a Medicine that gave as much sat- isfaction, Ohl 1 often think how much suffering ! might have avoided, both night and day, coming on. Yours with respect, (Signed) Erwan Cook. P. 8.—This will be of great benefit to others, and you may publish it. You need not take my word alone, for 1 can give you the following references: Simeon Lipe, H. Clapper, R. S. Taber, C. O. Pierce, H. J. Warner, D. D.

In his late report on peach orchards to the New Jersey Experiment Station Mr, J. M. White remarks that the healthiest and longest lived orchards in that State *‘are those which have been fertilized with potash and phosphoric acid. Among other orchards be de- scribes that of J. 8. Quunba, of Ches- ter, who has 4000 trees in bearing, six to ten years old, He applies 500 pounds of bone to the acre, and as much ashes as he can secure. The fruit is abundant and of good quality. If disease appears every affected tree is removed and destroyed at once, and no instrument used on a diseased tree 18 used on a healthy one until thorough- ly cleansed. 8. H. Wartman cultivates | his 7000 bearing trees twice In a sea- gon. The past seagon he had 3600 bas- kets of peaches. Dr, H. Race, of Pitts. town gathered 5100 baskets of peaches from 3000 trees. He used superphos- ahate and potash. J. L. Nixon, of Quakertown, sold 9000 baskets from his 12,000 trees the past season for $9045; he cultivates well and applies barn mannre and wood ashes.” Yeach | growers 1n this State who applied wood succeeded in raising good crops of | fruit when the orchards of thelr neigh- bors who used no ashee were barren. cam es——— Tie depth of drains and their dis. tance apart should be regulated by ref- | erence to the thickness and order of | the substrata. no less than by the char- | acter or texture of the supersoil.
