Ayers
When the nerves are weak
everything goes wrong. You
are tired all the time, easily
discouraged, nervous, and
irritable. Your cheeks are
Sarsaparilla
?ale and your blood is thin,
our doctor says you are
- threatened with a nervous
breakdown. He orders this
grand old family medicine.
“ For more than 50 years I have used Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla in my family. It Is a prand tonic
at all times, and a wonderful medicine for im
pure blood.”—D. C. Holt, West Haven, Conn.

Healthy Mothers.
Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight
to see a mother, with babe in arms,
coughing violently and exhibiting all
the symptoms of a consumptive ten
dency. And why should this danger
ous condition exist, dangerous alike to
mother and child, when Dr. Bochee’s
German Syrup would put a stop to it
once? No mother should be without
this old and tried remedy in the house
—for its timely use will promptly cure
any lung, throat or bronchial trouble
in herself or her children. The worst
cough or cold can be speedily cured by
German Syrup; so can hoarseness and
congestion of the bronchial tubes. It
makes expectoration easy, and gives
instant relief and re-freshing rest to
the cough-racked consumptive. New
trial bottles, 25c; large size, 75c. At
all druggists.

A Sure Thing.
It is said that nothing is sure except
death and taxes, but that is not al
together true. Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption is a sure cure
for all lung and throat troubles.
Thousands can testify to that. Mrs.
C. B. VanMetre of Shepherdtown, W.
Va., says “I had a severe case of Bron
chitis and for a year tried everything
I heared of, but got no relief. One
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery
then cured ne absolutely.” It’s in
fallible for Croup, Whooping Cough,
Grip, Pneumonia and Consumption.
Try it. It’s guaranteed by P. C. Cor
rigan, Druggist. Trial bottles free.

dilferent sized feet, among them being
a child’s and a woman’s; also the
mould of a large snake, partially coil
ed, which was to rest on the supposed
petrified body. It is a gruesome lot,
but indicates that the parties who
cast the moulds were artists of no
mean ability. As to the success of
their effort in getting a perfect body
is unknown to the oldest settler.—

A sparagus is so casilp grown and

and best flavored variety.
DELICIOUS
STRAWBERRIES
Most everybody likes strawberries
and thy are the most, easily grown of
any kind of fruit as well as the most
healthful and delicious and they bear
a full crop of fruit the next year after
planting. From 300 to 500 plants
make a good sized bed planted one
foot by three foot. We have the
biggest self-fortilizing kinds.
SWEET PRUNE PLUM
September 1,1903, three bushels of
plums were picked from one five year
old tree in E. D. Hammond’s orchard
of Sweet Prune plums. The tree com
menced to bear two years after plant
ing and is bearing every year. It is
the only Prune Plum that lias been a
success with me and I have tried
many kinds. It, stood the dry years,
1893 and 1894, aud the hard winter of
1899 and bore fruit the following sea
son. It is a grand success for North
eastern Nebraska. It is a dark purple
in color, large size, skin can be easily
removed and can be pitted like a free
stone peach. They are excellent for
canning and preserves and are so
sweet that they require very little
sugar. I sold this plum at $2.50 to
$X00 a bushel the past season when
other varieties of sour plums were
selling for 75 cents to a $1.00 a bushel.
It has taken first premium at the
Lincoln State fair, and limbs ana
brances loaded with plums, shipped to
the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo. New York, were shown in the
Nebraska fruit exhibt that took one
of the gold medals. I also received an
honorable mention dipioma on this
plum from the Pan-American exposi
tion. We believe this plum has more
good vualities, and is the best plum in
existance for this whole northwestern
country. If you plant some of these
trees you will be well paid.
We have a choice fine lot of five to
six foot trees to seel for the Spring of
1905. These treets were grown from
grafts cut off these bearing treets that
bore these plums, and they will bear
fruit at two or three years old if
planted and are sute to be genuine. If
you want some of these trees send
your order early and get the best
plum in existence. Trees five to six
feet $1.25 each; $12.00 per dozon.
Six trees for $0.00. The only way
you can be sure of gettitg this plum
true to name grafted from my bearing
trees is to send your order direct to
me. Trees delivered free to any rail
road town. Call at Norfolk Nursery,
