Honey Column. 



CITY MARKETS. 



The quotations in this column are based, as nearly 

 as possible, on the grading- adopted by the North 

 American, and are the prices that the commission 

 men get, and on which the commission for making 

 the sales is figured. The grading rules referred to 

 are as follows: 



Fancy.— All seotion.>; to be well fllleii, combs straight, of even 

 thickness, and firmly attached to all four sides, both wood and 

 comb nnsoiled bv travel-stain or otheiwise; all the cells sealed 

 excejjt the row of cells next to the w.iod. 



No. 1.— All sections well tilled. Init cnnibs uneven or crooked, 

 detached at tlie liottom. or with Init few cells unsealed; both 

 wood and comb nnsoiled liy travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the lioney is to lie classified according: to 

 color, usinp the terms wliite. aiulier. .and dark. That is, there 

 will be " fancy wliite," " No. 1 dark." etc. 



Dealers are expected to quote only those grades and classifi- 

 cations to be found in their market.

The Testimony of the 

 Gleanings Family as 

 to YELLOWZONES 

 is Unanimous.^^^- 



Here are a few snatches from letters recently 

 received from a few of them that will interest you 

 all. First we will hear from "W. P.," our proof- 

 reader, who has been factotum general of A. I.'s 

 printing department for the past 16 years (see page 

 392. May 15). 



Dear House;— Please mail a quarter's worth of Yellowzones 

 to Miss Oeitie (Jlaspie, Wadsworth, O. Her father is in need 

 of some such medicine as yours is. and I shall watch results 

 with interest. How is the index business with you I [Refer- 

 ring to my making index to A B C of Bee Culture, in '78.] 



Yours, etc , W. P. Root. 



Medina, O., Feb. 27, 1896. 



Mar. 12.— Dear House:— Here I come again. Please send a 

 dollar's worth of Yellowzones to same address. Her father 

 ha-s been troulded foi- a long time with a hard chronic cough, 

 which kept htm .awake niB-hts. and the rest of the folks too. I 

 received a letter from her last night saying his cough was 

 nearly all gone and he seemed as well as ever. I confess I was 

 surprised, and thought it might have been a coincidence more 

 than the use of the niedicine. At all events, she wants more. 

 . . . " Barney " is here vet, and sends his best regards. 



Yours gratefully, W. P. R. 



April 27th Miss Gla^pie sends for six boxes, and says: 



They help father very much. He thinks he can not do with - 

 out them. 



Later— Under date of June 10 Mr. Root writes: 



1 saw Mr. Glaspie last Sunday, the 7th, and he called my at- 

 tention to the fact that his old hacking cough was gone, and 

 his health greatly improved. He says he knows Yellowzones 

 " did it" His wife was very enthusiastic in praise of 'Zones in 

 case of headache, saying it always stops immediately after 

 taking a 'Zone. My wife has received gieat benefit from them 

 in cases of painful nervous headache, and indorses all you say 

 in favor of your medicine. The attacks are becoming less fre- 

 quent, too, indicating a cure. W. P. R. 

 Mt. Carroll, 111., March 23, 1896. 



I think the 'Zones saved my sister from pneumonia, and I 

 think thej' are going to help me [chronic rheumatismj. I 

 think them a wonderful remedy, and want six boxes more. 



April 27 —Kindly send me $1.00 worth of Yellowzones. . . . 

 It's a wonderful medicine. 



May .5. — I .am much better since using your wonderful Yel- 

 lowzones, and am quite hopeful of getting well altogether. I 

 hope others may finil tlie same comfort in them that I do. 



Gratefnlly, Annie Hukly. 



Blackwater, Mo., Feb. 18. 1896. 



Samples received, and am well pleased with them. Inclos- 

 ed find 8.5 cts. for a box. 



March 3d orders 6 boxes; April 1st orders 12 boxes; April 25th 

 orders 42 boxes, and sa.ys: 



I am well pleased with them— have given several boxes to ray 

 friends, as I think to help tbein — not you. The young man's 

 hand is about well; stopped the doctor's medicine, and gave 

 Yellowzones. [He refers to an employee whose left hand was 

 badly paralyzed.] Yours truly, W. B. Collins. 



Molesworth, Ont., Can., May 29, 189B. 



I have been laid up since .iust before Christmas with either 

 neuralgia or rheumatism in my back and legs. I got more re- 

 lief in 12 hours after taking your Yellowzones than from all 

 else, though I am a skeptic, and did not believe they could do 

 it. A. 



Dillonvale, O., May ,5. 1896. 



The medicine did me good, therefore find inclosed -fl.OO for 6 

 boxes more. . . I have handled medicine to some extent, and 

 believe you have a good remedy that the people ought to have. 

 Yours. J. H TwEEDV. 



Ravenna. O.. April 20. 1896. 



I can speak from my own experience of the efllcacy of your 

 remedy. I was suffering from neuralgia, and found quick re- 

 lief. ^REv.) S. J. B.iLi)WiN. 



(April 7th ordered four dozen boxes, i 



Morgan. Ky.. Apr. 23. 1896. 



My wife tried the sample for sick headache and they gave 

 her almost instant relief. J. P. Moore. 



I Mr. Moore's " strain of Italians just roll in the hone.y.") 



Claremont. Va.. Apr. 28. 1896. 



Yellowzones are the first thing I have ever found that will 

 stop the fever after an ague chill. A. K. Ajies. 



Violet, Ont,, April 21, 1896. 



$1.00 inclosed for 6 boxes. We have taken one box, and they 

 have helpe<l us wonderfully. Daniel Wrirht. 



25 cts. per box; 6 boxes, $1.00, and every 

 box guaranteed.

 money— the best of all testimonials,
