Head how one mas
was cured by Doan's
Kidney Pills after eight years of tor
ture.
Henry Soule of Pultney St., Ilam
mondsport, N. Y., says: “For eight
years I suffered constant agony from
kidney complaint. I endured tho
worst torture from gravel and the
kidney secretions were excessive and
contained sediment like brick dust. I
had to get out of bed from ten to
twenty times a night and the loss of
sleep wore me out. Indigestion came
on and the distress after eating was
terrible. Doan's Kidney Pills effected
a complete and lasting cure, and after
the symptoms of kidney trouble were
gone my stomach began to work as
it should. This lasting cure, espe
cially in a person of my age, proves tho
great value of Doan’s Kidney Pills
moro convincingly than could any
words of mine."
Doan’s Kidney Pills sold by all drug

WESTERN CANADA HAS
AN EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
The Saskatchewan Valley Very Highly
Favored.
An interesting feature of Western
Canada is its climate. Those who
have made a study of it speak highly
of it. Tho Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
at the same time giving valuable in
formation concerning railway rates,
etc., to those interested in the country.
As has been said, the climate is ex
cellent. The elevation of this part of
Canada is about 1.800 feet above tho
sea. about twice that of the average
for Minnesota. It is a very desirable
altitude. The country has a very
equable climate taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright and
the summers are pleasantly warm. H
F. Stupart. director of the meteorologi
cal service for Canada, says:
‘'The salient features of the climate
of the Canadian northwest territories
are a clear, bracing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part of the year, and a
medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winni
peg is 66, and Prince Albert 62. The
former temperature is higher than at
any part of England, and the latter is
very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries.”
At Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is 76 and the mini
mum 48. Owing to this high day tem
perature with much sunshine, tho
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche
wan valley, being about 18 inches an
nually. It is notable that about 75
per cent of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus. Western Can
ada gets as much moisture when it is
needed and with several hours more
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing is dono
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, blizzards, dust and
sand storms are unknown.
There is more in being worthy of
great place than there is winning it.
Secrecy is tho best soil for tho
worst sins.

DIP MANUFACTURER'S ANGRY
Object to the Wording of the Gover
nor's Cattle Proclamation.
LINCOLN- By the issuance of his
proclamation compelling cattlemen to
dip their cattle in a sulphur atid lime
dip Governor Mickey called down the
wrath of the dope manufacturers upon
his head. Since the publication of the
proclamation a number of representa
tives of houses that manufacture sure
cures for lice, mange and such dis
eases have called upon the governor
to protest. And, incidentally, it is
said the proclamation is very displeas
ing to the railroads for the reason that
Veterinarian Thomas advised users of
the dip to buy the sulphur and lime
and mix their own dip, and thus save
express or freight on numerous bar
rels of water to a very little dope.
Governor Mickey called upon Attor
ney General Front for advice as to
whether the proclamation could be
modified, and was informed that to
modify the proclamation would nullify
it; therefore it stands, and lime and
sulphur will lie the official clip.

UNDER date of January 10, 1*07, Dr.

lotter:
“My wife had been suffering from a com

“Her case had baffled the slcitl or some
of the most noted physicians. One of her
worst troubles was chronic constipation of
several years’ standing.
•‘She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a woman
j —change of life. In June, 1825. I wrote to
you about her case. You advised a course
of Peruna and Mnnalin, which we at
once commenced, and nave to say it com
pletely cured her. She firmly believes
that she would have been dead only for
these wonderful remedies.
"About the same tine 1 wrote you about
my own ease of catarrh, which had been of
' 25 years' standing. At times I was almost
past going. I commenced to use Peruna
according to your instructions and con
tinued its use for about a year, and it lias
1 completely cured me.
• • Your remedies do all that you claim
for them, and even more. Catarrh
cannot exist where Peruna Is taken
according to directions. Success to
you and your remedies "

In a letter dated January 3, 1900, Mr.
Atkinson says, after live years' existence
with Peruna:
<«/ will ever continue to speak a good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as a

tisement for Peruna and have Induced
many people during the past year to

results, lam still cured of catarrh.”
John O. Atkinson,
flox 272, Independence. Mo.
When old ape comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most. universal in old people,
i This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safe-puard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these eases
exactly.
Such cases cannot bo treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could euro them. This is exactly what
Peruna is.
I f you do not receive prompt and satisfac
