Flatulence, or the forming of gases in the stomach and intes tines, was usually considered only symptom of a disease, althougl in some cases it is. a disease uy itself. It is usually a nervous af lection ol the sloinacn or Dowels or both. In such cases you should select a remedy .which would quickly remove this unpleasant and painful condition. We can recommend you the well known Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine. It often removes the cause of the sickness by a thorough leansing out of tin: digestive tract. It will bring the, inleslines to their natural work, strengthen the organs, create a good ap- ictite and aid digestion. It will elieve constipation and its .sc- tuelae. At drug stores.

His acreage of land numbers close lo the thousand mark and joins up close to town, extruding into the fertile valley of the Platte, and covered with a heavy growth of alfalfa. One of the peculiar things about the farmers in this locality is that thev all seem to be trying fo get their farms in shape to sell.
