This excess represents over 84- Pounds in each Ton of the three most valuable plant-food ingredients, namely, Am¬ 
monia, Phosphoric Acid, and Potash. These ingredients, figured at even the very low prices used by the Stations in figuring 
estimated values of fertilizers, amount t.o over Seven Dollars per Ton. 
The Conneticut Station Bulletin, No. S9 (the last one issued), shows in its report on Special Crop Manures that with the Mapes, the average 
“advance of selling price over valuation (estimated cost of raw materials before manufacture) is only 10.68 per cent., while with ail the other 
brands tins average advance amounts to from 14.57 to 251,79 per cent.” 
THE MAPES MANURES ARE THUS AGAIN FOUND BY TnE STATE STATIONS TO BE THE CHEAPEST OF ALL.

Dear Sir: 
I was taken with a very se¬ 
vere cold last Spring, and 
tried every cure we hail in the 
store, and could get no help. 
1 bad our village doctor pre¬ 
scribe for me, but kept getting 
worse. I saw another physi¬ 
cian from Port Jervis, N. Y,, 
and he told me he used Piso’s 
Cure for Consumption in his 
practice. 
I bought a bottle, and be¬ 
fore I had taken all of it there 
was a change for the better. 
Theu 1 got my employer to 
order a quantity of the medi¬ 
cine and keep it in stock. I 
took oue more bottle; and my 
cough was cured. 
^Respectfully, 
FRANK MCKELVY.
