Henry Ochrko Is a thrifty ami prosperous
German Farmer living four miles south of
Bullion, In thin (Adair) county, Mo. Mr.
Gehrlco has a vuluublo farm ami ho has boon
a resident of tho county for years. He is
very well known hereabouts ami well re
spected wherever ho is known. Last week
a reporter of tho Journal stopped at Mr.
Gohrko's and whllo thcro becamo much in
terested in Mrs. Gohrko's account of tho
benefit sho had not loitgBinco experienced
from tho uso of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Palo People. Slio said she wanted every
body to know what, a great medicine these
pills aro, but as so many people are praising
them now-a-da,w, sho modently doubtec
whether her testimony cotdd add unythiiif
to what others hud already said of them
Her only reason for talking for publicatioi
about Pink Pills was that tho people o!
Adair and neighboring counties might In
convinced, if any doubted , tliatoft-pubiishcc
testimonials concerning Pink Pills wen
genuine statom cuts from the lips of person!
who havo been benefited by the use of them
Bpcaking of her own into resting experience
Mrs. Ochrko said:
"A llttlo over a year ago 1 was completely
broken down. 1 had been taking medicine
from a doctor but grew worse ami orse
until 1 could scarcely go about at till. The
least exertion or tho ineio bending oi my
body would eauso me to lime bmothering
spells, and tho suffering was terrible, i
thought it was caused by my heart. When
everything elso had failed to relieve mc and
I had given im all hopes ol ever being any
thing but n helpless invalid, I chanced to
read somo testimonials in tho 'him, iVM
awl Fireside also in tho Chicauo lnter-Vccan,
iind tho sufferings of tho people who mndo
tho statements were so nearly like the suf
fering I hud endured that when 1 read tluit
they wero so greatly beneiltcd bv tho use of
lie Williams' Pink Pills lor Palo Pooplo
I did not hesitate to go at onto ami pur
chase two boxes. 1 took them according to
directions and bof ore tho ilrst box was used
I felt a good bit better. Really tho ilrst
doso convinced mo that it w us u great l cm
ody. Before tho two boxes were used up 1
sent my husband for three more boxes, fo
Unit I would not bo without them When I
had used theso threo boxes I lelt like a dif
ferent woman and thought 1 was almost
cured.
"Binco that timo I have been taking them
whenever I began to feel badly. When I
began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Palo People, I weighed only 11!1 pounds mid
after 1 had been using Uio medicine for
about six months I weighed 1122 pounds. I
havo hud a good appetite over binco 1 com
menced taking Pink Pills and instead of
mincing along, picking such food as I could
cat even with an effort, 1 e.it most anything
that comes on tho table. 1 am not the in
valid I was. I do not havo to be waited
upon now as if I was a helpless child, but 1
work all tho timo, doing tho housework and
ironing and working in tho garden without
that dreadful ieeling which comes overu
person when they aro afraid they are going
to havo ono of those spells that 1 used to
have.
"Work don't hurt mo any more. I lion
cstlv believe that had it not been for Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills 1 would now be in tny
grave I still havo what tho doctor calls
bilious colic but tho Pink Pills liavo made
mo much better and the spells me not so
frequent and aro nothing lino as puinlul n&
before I began to use them I would not be
without tho Pink Pills for Hint disease alone
under any circumstances, to say nothing of
tho other diseases lor which they are espe
cially rocomiuonded. 1 tuko pleasure in
telling my neighbors the benefits 1 have re
ceived from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lor

been gre.itlv bunelited bv them "'

"Water, water, everywhere, nor any
drop to drink!" is Coleridge's poetic
phrasing of a cry that has come from
the lips of tho victims of shipwreck
over since the first navigation of tho
hea. If tho water of tho oucuu wero
drinkable, not only would tin enor
mous outlay be spared, but one of tho
greatest horrors of shipwreck would
bo abolished. I'eeently a new method
litis been discovered in Austria by
which sea water can bo made fit to
drink. The water is forced under
pressure through a filter consisting of
tho trunk of a tree about fifteen feet
long. Tho water is driven lengthwise
through the pores of tho wood, and in
threo niiiiutos, at tho longest, issues
from tho ond of tho trunk in thin
streams, and is found to be free from
Nilt and suitable for drinking'.

MR. MORTON'S REPORT.
Tim Secretary nf Agriculture Jlvr Somo
ItitoriKtliit; 1'uettt mid I'lcnrex.
Washington, Nov. 18 The reportof
tho secretary of agriculture begins
with a review of tho work of the bu
reau of animal industry. Tho total
number of animals Inspected at tho
slaughter houses was considerably over
18,000,0110, tin increase of more than
.r,.riOO,000 over tho nrevious year. Dur
ing the year ante-mortem inspection
was also made of 5,000,000 animals.
Tho cost of inspection was reduced to
1.1 cents per animal. In 1M3 inspec
tion cost -n cents per animal and in
1MM it cost l?f cents. Over 1,300.000
cattle and sheep were inspected for
foreign markets, of which (575,000 wero
shipped abroad.
Over 45,000,000 pounds of pork was
inspected microscopically and export
ed, as against 35,000.000 in ISO I and !.'3,
000,000 pounds in 1803. Of the amount,
exported last year, nearly U'3.000,000
pounds went to Germany and over
0,000,000 pounds to France. This in
spection involved tho placing of over
1,000,000 specimens under tho micro
scope. The cost of each examination
was less than 5 cents, or for each
pound of meat 'J mills, a considerable
reduction over anv previous year.
Losses of cattle in transit to Kuropo
were greater than in 1MU. being re
spectively, for 1805 and 1801,0 0 and
0.07 per cent.
Over :;o,000 cars enrrying over S','0,000
animals were inspected for Texas
fever tit quarantine pens during tho
quarantine season; nearly O.ooo car
loads of cattle being inspected also in
transit, and over "s.OOO cars wero
cleaned and disinfected. Besides, over
150,000 cattle from the non-infected
districts of Mexico were inspected for
shipment to northern states.
Much space is devoted to discussing
tho opportunities for American meat
product-, in foreign markets. Of 311,
000 tons of meat received at the Lou
don central market in 1801 71.000 tons
were American, while nearly 50.000
tons came from Australia. Tho Amer
ican proportion hns not been main
tained during 1805.
In the imports of live cattle to Great
Britain the United States and Canada
had a practical monopoly until the last
two years. Since ls'.i.'I Argentina's ship
ments have greatly increased; during
the first eight months of the year tho
shipments amounted to over 25,000
head.
The export of American horses to
Great Britain lias increased steadily,
having more than doubled since 1MI.',
amounting in tho first eight months of
1805 to S-,755 head, valued at nearly
53,000,000. American geldings aver
iijed this year in the English market
$155. A rigid inspection of horses for
export will be undertaken.
The foreign trade in dairy products
is carefully reviewed. In cheese tho
United States, while a large shipper to
British markets, holds the conspicu
ously unlltittering place in the extieme
rear as to quality and price, and as tho
only one of the competitors for this
trade whose business shows a serious
falling off.
In butter, the United States is out of
the race, supplying less than 1 per
cent, of the British demand for foreign
butters, notwithstanding the fact that
Great Britain imported in eight mouths
10,000,000 worth of butter.
The secretary thinks the duty of re
porting the acreage of staple crops in
each state on June 1 of each year
might bo imposed upon the authorities
of the agricultural college stations, in
consideration of the annual apptopria
tions they receive from tho national
treasury.
The report closes with a discussion
of tho question of tho future of farms
and fanning in tho United States. The
average value of farms by the census
of 1800 was S?2,.l00. The value of im
plements, domestic animals and sun
dries will make a total farm plant of
SI, 000 for a family averaging six per
sons. Those farms have fed the farmers
and their families and 40,00'),00() urban
residents, beside supplying 6500,000,000
worth of products to foreign consumers.
In the presence of these facts the sec
tary asks: "How can anyone dare as
sert that farming is generally nnre
munerative and unsatisfactory to those
who intelligently follow it?" Tho
mortgage on farm values does not ex
ceed lis per cent. a less incumbrance
on capital invested than in anv other
line of industry. lie foretells con
fidently a steady increase in the value
of farm lands as the population of tho
country increases.
ANOTHcK BOND ISSUE.
itejiort Thiit Cleieliinil Huh Decided Not to
Vult for ( iiiid'cHklnniil Action.
Ni:w YoitK, Nov. 18. The Journal
says: President Cleveland has decided
that lie will not wait for action by
congress befoie making another issue
of bonds. The Washington authorities
are already in corrcspndcnce with the
Now York bankers relative to tho
issue and it is probable that the bank
ers will accept their proposition.
Here is tho proposition: When tho
gold reserve falls to S75,0o(,000
tho banks shall deposit $:J5, 000.000
worth of gold in tho sub-treasury
and take in return I per cent,
bonds on a 3 per cout. basis. Tho de
cline of the gold reserve to a dangor
point last spring forced tho govern
ment to pay A per cent, for the gold
procured from tho Bolmont'Morgtin
syndicate. Credit lias been re-established
by that operation and tho ad
ministration iiopes to tuko advantage
of the greater con fldonco prevailing to
secure the gold at tho low rate of 3 per
cent
BODIES AS SPECIMENS.
A Stititrrfugo NrcfUMtry for American In
I'orelirn Countries.
"There was nothing unusual in ship
ping tho body of the late United States
Consul Benedict hero from Capo Town
as a ilrst-class specimen of natural his
tory," said an ex-attacho of the con
sulate in London. "It would huvo
been impossible to get it hero any
other way. It is only within three or
four years that it has been possible to
bring bodies homo from abroad for
burial without practicing some such
deception as this. The steamship com
panies refused to tako them. There
was no reason for it, so far as I could
ever learn, except that the sailors wero
superstitious. Sailors will not sail
with a body if they know of it in time
to leave tho ship.
"Tho books of the United States con
sulate in London and of several other
consulates record instances of many
distinguished American citizens sent
home for burial as specimens of na
tural history. Of course, tho purser of
the ship and tho consular ofllcers
always knew what the box contained,
but tho crow were kept in ignorance
of it. I remember a distinguished
bishop of tho Episcopal church, who
died at the Lnnghiun hotel in Loudon,
being sent homo to Michigan packed
in a piano case. Bodies wore never
packed in anything that looked
liko collins. This body was
sent on a German steamer
from Southampton, and the bund
played merry music, as is the custom
on those vessels when passengers tiro
embarking, while it was lifted over tho
ship's side. Tho American minister in
London, who was a personal friend of
tho bishop, went with tho body to see
that it was safely aboard, and tho
baud, thinking to please him, struck
up "Yankee Doodle."
"When an American dies abroad the
United States consul in tho town
where ho dies has all to say about the
packing and shipping of the body.
Tho consul makes out tin invoice for it
in tho usual form and sends it along
as a first-class specimen of natural
history.
"Not long ago a consul in one of the
midland towns thought ho could
evade this requirement of tho law and
trust to his personal inilucneo in New
York to get his wife's body through
for burial. But the customs olllcers
insisted on opening the coillu at the
pier, and it was kept in an undertak
taker's shop for two weeks while the
consul, tit considerable expense and
trouble, arranged matters with tho
consul-general's ofliee in London and
the treasury department." N. Y. Sun.

You choose the old doctor before the young1 one. Why?
Because you don't want to entrust your life in Inexperienced
hands. True, the young doctor may be experienced. But
the old doctor must be. You take no chances with Dr. Maybe,
when Dr. Mustbe is In reach. Same with medicines as with
medicine makers the long-tried remedy has your confidence.
You prefer experience to experiment when you are concerned.
The new remedy mny be good but let somebody else prove
it. The old remedy must be good Judged on its record of
cures. Just one more reason for choosing AVER'S Sarsa
parllla In preference to any other. It has been the standard
household sarsaparllla for half a century. Its record inspires
confidence tfO years of cures. If others may ho good,
Ayer's Sarsaparllla must he. You take no chances when you
