WEAK WOMEN 



BY USING 



Ox-Blood Tablets 



The_v positively will do more for a weak system than any other remedy on 

 the market. They are the great Nerve and Brain remedy, Blood Purifier, and 

 Tissue builder. 



Try them once and you will never be without them. 



This preparation contains in a concentrated form the active principles of healthy bullock's 

 blood combined with the most valuable nerve, brain, blood and flesh producing- drugs known to 

 the practicing fraternity. 



Greatest discovery of the age for suffering people. Less than a year since first put in use, and 

 thousands are being cured every day. To convince you we give a 3 weeks' treatment free— all we 

 ask is for you to send 10 cents to pay postage on sending it. This is safer than paying a doctor $25 

 to experiment on you. 3 weeks' treatment sent free on receipt of lo cts. in stamps. 



** I wish lo say to you that after many long months of suffering and a broken-down system from 

 the effects of child-bed fever, and at a verv large expense with different physicians, and after using 

 26 bottles of patent medicines and no relief, my husband was compelled to give a mortgage on our 

 home to send me to a hospital, where I still suffered and no relief. I was induced to try your three 

 weeks' treatment of Ox-Blood Tablets, and gained so much in the three weeks that I consented to 

 continue the treatment with a SOc box. They have taken all the pain away. I have gained won- 

 derfully in flesh, and feel as if I had never been sick a day in my life. I advise all weak women to 

 try Ox-Blood Tablets and get the same results I have." Mks. F. G. Ehwards, Clarinda, Iowa.

Four Celluloid Queen = Buttons Free 



AS A PREIVIIUIVI. 



For sending us ONE NEW SUBSCRIBER to the 

 Bee Journal for the balance of this year, with 50 

 cents, we will mail you FOUR of these pretty but- 

 tons for wearing on the coat-lapel. (You can wear 

 one and give the others to the children.) The queen 

 has a golden tinge. This offer is made only to our present regular subscribers. 

 NOTE.— One reader writes: " I have every reason to believe that it would be a very (food idea 

 for every bee-keeper to wear one [of the buttons] as it will cause people to ask questions about the 

 busy bee, and many a conversation thus started would wind up with the sale of more or less houev; 

 at any rate, it would five the bee-keeper a superior opportunity to enlighten manv a person in re- 

 gard to honej- and bees." 



Prices of Buttons alone, postpaid : One button, 8 cts.; 2 buttons, 6 cts. each ; 

 5 or more, 5 cts. each. (Stamps taken.) Address,

had unhitcht him from the tree, and 

 was trying to drive him away, but he 

 seemed not to care whether he died or 

 not, for he would not go. 



Mr. Wilson is a large man, and 

 shaves clean. He was fighting bees 

 with his hat in one hand and whipping 

 the mule with a fishing pole, and twist- 

 ing his face in more different shapes 

 than a circus clown. I told him to 

 leave the mule to me, and I would take 

 care of him. He seemed very willing, 

 for he ran to the bushes about 100 

 yards away very quickly ; I think his 

 tracks were about H feet apart, where 

 he ran across the cotton-patch. 



After ruining a buggy-whip on the 

 mule without driving him more than 30 

 feet, I went to his head and masht the 

 bees as they lit on him, until I got 

 them checkt, when Mr. Wilson re- 

 turned, and he and I together managed 

 to get the mule to the bushes. 



I had got the mule out of the direct 

 line between the house and apiary, so 

 the bees were not increasing in num- 

 bers about him, before I tried killing 

 them. 



We scraped the stings out with our 

 knives, and bathed the mule with cold 

 water for an hour or two. I also 

 drencht him with alcohol — (some my 

 father had on hand for medicinal pur- 

 poses ; being a physician, he keeps it. 

 I want you to understand I do not 

 keep it.) 



The mule was sick for several days, 

 and one of his ears rotted off. Father's 

 face was swollen all out of shape for a 

 couple of days ; he must have received 

 a dozen or more stings in the face. 

 The bees were so bad for an hour or 

 two that my mother had to close all the 

 doors and windows, and keep on the in- 

 side of the house. 



Mr. Wilson will not stop anywhere 

 near an apiary now in daytime ; and 

 your humble servant has been very 

 careful since to prevent robbing, also 

 to see that no stock is exposed where 

 bees are liable to attack them. 



The tree to which the mule was tied 

 was used every day by my father to 

 hitch his horse to, and of course I 

 never thought of the mule being in 

 danger. 



I sincerely hope that I will never 

 have another such experience.

A Point in Handling Honey.— As to 



placing the shipper's name and address 

 on a case, I repeat the argument that 

 his name should be on the package, so 

 that if any complaint is made to us we 

 will know whose honey it was. The 

 shipper's address should not be on the 

 package ; for it is no one's business 

 where the honey comes from ; but is a 

 subject only for the jobber who is ex- 

 perienced as to the product. If any 

 shipper wants to advertise his honey, 

 it is his privilege to do so ; but when 

 he sells to a wholesaler, he must be 

 satisfied to allow the wholesaler to do 

 his own advertising. Then, again, 

 some customers object to honey from 

 certain localities, ^nd we do not intend
