Nearly all the ills that Afflict Man- 

 kind can be prevented and cured by 

 keeping the stomach, liver and kid- 

 neys in perfect working order. There 

 is no medicine known that will do this 

 as quickly and surely, without inter- 

 fering with your duties, as Parker's 

 Ginger Tonic. See advertisement.

POPULAR 



HONEY KEGS. 



These kegs answer the popular demand 

 for honey in small packages, and when 

 compared with large barrels holding from 

 300 to 500 Ids. each, they are fully as cheap 

 and often cheaper. They need no waxing 

 but should simply be thoroughly scalded 

 with boiling water before using. The 

 leakage so often occurring in the large 

 hard-wood barrels can be entirely pre- 

 vented by using the White Pine Kegs. 

 Considering the cost and trouble of wax- 

 ing, the loss of honey by leakage, and 

 the ease with which these kegs can be 

 handled and shipped, with an actual sav- 

 ing in original cost, it must be apparent to 

 all that they are the best. Prices: 



50 lb. Kegs, each 35c
