To incorporate the Bigford Sanata
rian for the treatment of negro con

advertised in our columns, possesses
much to recommend it. As indicated
above, it is constructed entirely of
steel and contains no castings or malle
ables that are so likely to break. All
bars, and the important corner braces
are of angle steel. The top lever ad
justs the teeth to any desirable angle
enabling the operator to tear up the
earth at a considerable depth, or to
smooth it on the top. This case of ad
just ment, the arrangement of the teeth
so they do not track, and the pliability
of the sections, adapting themselves to
all unevenness of surface, makes this
an ideal smothing harrow and weed
exterminator. Write the Roderick Lean
Company, Mansfield, Ohio, for cata
logue and prices, and mention this
paper.

was for some moments lost to view.
It was not long, however, before Mr.
Halleck came in sight again, and by
artistic means was fished from the

young gentleman contracted a heavy
cold, resulting in chronic rheumatism,
complicated with diseases of kidney
and urinary organs.
For six month," writes Mr Halleck,
"I was laid up, and not able to do any
thing. During this time I suffered
with pains in the stomach and small of
the back, and headache, urination was
frequent; and painful, my heart's ac

all over my body, and was generally
used up. Then 1 was able to go out.
but was a col firmed invalid, and for
nearly four years I was in that condi

always be disabled, for nothing that I
took gave me any relief.
"In December, 1895, I read an adver

years, but as they did me no good I

I began to experience supstantial relief
and continued to take them for four
months, by which time I was cured.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are not a patent medicine in the
sense that the name implies. They
were first compounded as a prercrip

was their (ffisacy that it was deemed
wise to place them within the reach
of all. They are now manufactured by
the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold in
boxes (never in loose form by the doz
en or hundred, and the public are cau
tioned against numerous imitations
sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box or

all druggists or direct by mail from
