Mr. Editor: For the good of suffer
ing humanity, and particularly those
suffering from that most dreadful dis
ease, rheumatism, we desire to Inform
ycur readers that the only specific in
the world today for this disease is our
"Five Drops" remedy. "Five Drop3"
is the name, and "Five Drops" is the
dose. It is not only acknowledged a
specific by the many thousands who
have been cured by Its use, but it is
now acknowledged to be such by the
medical profession, many of whom use
this remedy in their daily practice, and
they state to us that It is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but it
never has failed and it never can fail
to cure any and all of the following
diseases: Sciatica, Lumbago, Neural
gia, Catarrh, Creeping Numbness,
Nervousness, Asthma, Heart Weak
ness, Toothache, Earache, La Grippe,
and diseases of the liver and kidneys.
"Five Drops" is not a patent medicine,
but was perfected only after vast re
search in scientific fields, and at great
expense. It never can be fully appre
ciated until it is used. Many of its
cures border on the miraculous. Words
are almost Inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human
ity is daily deriving from the use of
this most wonderful remedy. Its
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered
for sale as the mountain is above the
valley. It is worth its weight in gold
to anyone suffering from any of the
diseases for which it is recommended.
The price is low and within the reach
of all. $1 per bottle for full size (300
doses), prepaid by mail or express, or
six bottles for $5. Anyone desiring to
test its efficacy without ordering a full
size bottle, can have a 25 cent sample
bottle sent by mail until May 10. by
sending 10 cents to the Swanson Rheu
matic Cure Company, 1C7 Dearborn
street, Chicago, 111.

ONE reason Mrs. Pinkham's treatment helps women so
promptly is that they have confidence in her.
Through some of the many thousands of Mrs. Pink
ham's friends an ailing woman will be led to write to Mrs.
.rinkham at her home in Lynn,
Mass., and will tell her symptoms.
The reply, made without charge of
any kind, will bear such evidence
of knowledge of the trouble that
belief in her advice at once inspires
hope.
This of itself is a great heln.
Then the knowledge that women only see the letters asking
for advice and women only assist Mrs. Pinkham in replying
makes it easy to be explicit about the little things that define
the disease.

PLEASED WITH ALBERTA.
Aa Kxcalleat Report freaa Wlaeewta
aad Mlaaesete Defecate.
The opinion of five delegates from
Minnesota and Wisconsin, published
by the Edmonton Bulletin over their
names Is very complimentary to
Northern Alberta. The report says:
"We must say with all sincerity that
driving all over the country for six
days, we have not found one settler
who was not more than pleased with
the country and "its productions, and
will not return to the land he left. We
have seen people here from all parts
cf the states and all doing well. We
met a Dakota farmer by the name of
.McLean, who has informed ns that he
has raised more grain here in three
years than he did in thirteen where he
came from, on half as much ground.
We have seen a number of others, both
men and women, and all speak in the
rame strain about Alberta. They all
look well and contented; even the chil
dren are happy. In our drive over the
country, in passing the countless
school houses we could only see hap
piness in the faces of the little ones.
We noticed them all well dressed equal
if not better than the same class of
children in the state of Minnesota.
The wheat that is raised here Is just
beautiful, the kernel full and plump
and may well be termed golden grain,
yielding 30 to 55 bushels to the acre.
This statement is not from one farmer
but from hundreds who tell the same
tale. Oats yield from 70 to 100 bushels
to the acre, barley from 40 to CO bush
els and potatoes from 300 to 400 bush
els to the acre. We have taken par
ticular notice of the climate in regard
to the difference between this coun
try and our own. When we left Ada,
Minnesota, we were in the midst of a
real Dakota blizzard. When we ar
rived at Edmonton we found the peo
ple on the streets still wearing sum
mer clothing, no mittens on their
hands and far less use for them. The
country is simply more than we ever
dreamed of. The printed matter sent
out by 'the government does not half
tell of the grand country in Alberta,
open for millions of people to make
beautiful homes for themselves. Too
much can cot be said in praise. It
is all and more than the greatest
eulogist ever thought of giving to the
public. We saw cattle and horses in
herds grazing on the prairie like In
summer time all sleek and fat Wo
were informed by several farmers that
most of the stock run out all winter.
We also found the market extra good
here for beef and pork. Hogs fetch
4 cents live weight A three-year-old
steer will bring from $40 to $45
right from the prairie. Coal and wood
are here in abundance. Coal is sold
in the town of Edmonton for C2 per
ton and farmers can secure coal at
the mines themselves for 75 cents per
load. Before r'osing we say to you one
and all, come to Alberta, where there
are homes for millions and a promise
for something to lay by for an old
age. We are well satisfied with this
country and as evidence have each
bought a half section of C. P. R. land
in township 35, range 21 west of the
4 th Initial meridian, and will return
next spring to reside. Hoping this
may be of some benefit to the over
burdened farmers of the United
States."
Sent by Floyd Dean, son of E. S.
Dean of Deanville, Mich., who Is now
in Alberta, and has taken up 160 acres
there.

HIS OLD YELLOW ALMANAC.
I left the farm when mother died, and
changed my place of dwellin'
To daughter Susie's stylish house, right
In the city street.
And there was them, before I came, that
sort of scared me tellin'
How I would find the town-folks ways
so difficult to meet.
They said I'd have no comfort in the
rustlln'. Hxed-up thrcng.
And I'd have to wear stiff collars every
week-day rightalong.
I find I take to city ways Just like a duck
to water.
I like the racket and the noise, and
never tire of shows;
And there's no end of comfort In the man
sion of my daughter.
And everything is right at hand, and
money freely flows:
And hired help is all about, just listenin'
for my cill.
But I ntiss the yellow almanac from off
my kitchen wall.
The house Is full of calendars from attic
to the cellar:
They're painted In all colors, ana are
fancy-llVe to see
But Just in this particular I m not a mod
ern fellor.
And the yellow-covered almanac Is good
enough for mc:
I'm used to it. l'e seen it round from
boyhood to old age.
And I rather like the Jokln at the bottom
of each page.
t like the way the "S" stood out to show
the week's beginnhV
fin these new-fangled calendars the
days seemcu aui . ..... ,
And the man upon the coyer, though he;
was n't exactly wlnnin'
with lungs and liver all exposed, still ,
"bowing how we are fixed:
And the letters, credentials that was writ
T-ve often."on a rainy day. found readin
very fair.
T tried to find cne recently; there wa'n't
one in the city.
They toted out great calendars In every
port of style:
I looked at 'em In cold disdain, and an
swered 'em in pity:
"I'd rather have my almanac than all
that costly pile."
And though I taV to city life. I'm lone
some, after all.
For that old yellow almanac upon my
kitchen wall.
