Letter to C. J. Brewer.
McConneilsburg, Pa.
Dear Sir : A man fed his hens
half meal and half sawdust; he
thought they wouldn't know the
difference. He concluded they
did when the eggs hatched wood
peckers. Another man painted his house
with a paint that was made of
half paint substitutes. He didn't
kuow the -difference not till he
paid the painter.
He had 20 gallons to pay for, 20
instead of 10. Got fooled 12. 50
on the paint.
He had 20 days' wagos to pay
for, 20 instead of ten. Fooled
$30 in wages.
He got a poor job besides. He
paid too much for his eggs, and
they hatched woodpeckers.
Yours truly,
13 F. W. DicVok & Co.

"In 1897 I had a stomach dis
ease. Somo physicians said Dys
pepsia, some Consumption. One
said I would not live until Spring.
For four years I existed on boiled
milk, soda biscuits, and doctors'
prescriptions. 1 could not digest
anything I ate; then I picked up
one of your Almanacs and it hap
pened to be my life-saver. I
bought a fifty-cent bottle of KO
DOL and the benefit I received
from that bottle all the gold in
Georgia could not buy. In two
months I went oack to my work,
as a machinist, aud in three
months I was well and hearty.
May you live lone and prosper."
