CATARRH CAN BE CURED. 
Catarrh is a kindred ailment of consumption 
long considered incurable; and yet there is one 
remedy that will positively cure catarrh in any 
of itsstages.For many years th is remedy was used 
by the late Dr. Stevens, a widely noted authority 
on all diseases of the throat and lungs. Having 
tested its wonderfulcurativepowersin thousands 
of cases, and desiring to relieve human suffering, 
I will send free of charge to allsufferersfrom Ca¬ 
tarrh, Asthma, Consumption & nervous diseases, 
this recipe, in German, French or English, with 
full directions for preparing and using. Sent by 
mail by addressing,with s'amp,naming this p p. r

BUSINESS BITS. 
Until recently the telephone was con¬ 
sidered a luxury that could only be in¬ 
dulged in by city or town residents, and 
of late years it has come into use in many 
farm homes. It will surprise many how 
cheaply they can make connection with a 
telephone line with an Instrument in their 
house. All interested should write to 
Williams Electric Co., 80 Seneca St., Cleve¬ 
land, O. 
Experiments are constantly being made 
looking to Inventions of machinery of use 
to the farmer. No sooner has a new prin¬ 
ciple of feeding been announced, than num¬ 
erous appliances bob up ready made to 
enable its proper observance. In no case 
is this more substantially true than in the 
preparing of all forms of feed for stock. 
Of inventions, however, for crushing corn 
in the ear and grinding grain for stock 
feeding, no machine yet brought to our at¬ 
tention has been able to surpass the high 
position occupied by the Quaker City 
grinding mills, manufactured by A. W. 
Straub & Co., of Philadelphia. Of special 
merit is its feature of crushing the corn 
in the ear, and then in the same operation 
grinding it again together with the grain 
with which it is to be mixed. Upon this 
feature, the Quaker City seems to stand 
without a peer. Any of our readers who 
are without a mill of any kind upon the 
farm would do well to enter into corre¬ 
spondence with the above-named Arm, at 
3737 Filbert St., Philadelphia, or their 
Western office, at the corner of Canal and 
Randolph Sts., Chicago, and get their cir¬ 
culars and other information. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you will get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See our guarantee 8th page. 
“CONSUMPTION 
CAN POSITIVELY BE 
CUBED.” 
SO STATED BY TIIE FAMOUS 
DR. ROBERT HUNTER OF NEWY0RK. 
Consumption, Bronchitis, Chronic 
Pneumonia and Catarrh can positively 
be cured by Dr. Robert Hunter’s method 
of treatment, by which the curative 
drugs are introduced directly into the 
Bronchial tubes and lungs by inhala¬ 
tion and not put into the stomach where 
they become useless. 
Readers of The Rural New-Yorker can 
receive absolutely free by mail, postage 
paid, a book explaining the causes, 
symptoms and treatment of the various 
bronchial and lung diseases by address¬ 
ing the Dr. Robert Hunter Association, 
117 West 45th Street, New York City.
