An many as fifteen flno animals have succumbed to this disease neai town , nnd may moro are reported to have died In the country. Some people think the trouble Is caused by feeding millet and others ascrlbo It to the damp weather , while still others think the breaking down of the kidneys has been caused by the extra exer tions horses have been obliged to make this year on account ot the unusual mud. The fatality Is especially alarming from the fact that very few horses are being raised now , making It probable that good horses will be very scarce soon , nnd consequently valuable. No effectual lemody has yet been found for this equine disease. Tltl.VI , Oli1'IIAXIC COI.IC'S SIAYHH.S. llrarlnur r < lie Prlnonrr * In Poil- IMIIK-I ! a Connie of Ilnjx. O'NEILL , Neb. , April 24.

Moral : You can't get the best out of anything unless the best is in it ; and the best has to be put in before it can be taken out. Now , we have a rule to test'those sarsaparillas with a big "best"on the bottle. "Tell us what's put in you and we'll decide for ourselves about the best. " That's fair. But these modest sarsa parillas say : "Oh ! we can't tell. It's a secret. Have faith in the label. " . . . Stop I There s one excep tion ; one sarsaparilla that has no secret to hide. It's Ayer's. If you want to know what goes into Ayer's Sarsaparilla , ask your doctor to write for the formula.
