NEXT WEEK! 
We shall present a valuable and 
instructive article, entitled 
A Cup of Coffee! 
This will describe, in a pleasant and 
instructive way, how the coffee of com¬ 
merce is cultivated and prepared for 
sale. The education of 
The New Black Man 
will be considered. 
The Early Laying Pullet 
will be considered by some of our 
leading poultry authorities, and 
Mr. G. M. Clark will discuss 
Some Defects of the Modern Plow. 
There will be several other important 
discussions on live and timely topics ! 
The Mount Gretna Agricultural, Mechanical 
and Industrial Exposition, scored this year, the 
most successful event in its history. In addition 
to the very elaborate display of farm machinery,

their securing the attendance of many noted 
breeders of purebred stock. The exhibition of 
Guernseys by J. B. Duke, E. C. Freeman, A. J. 
Cassatt, S C. Heisey, and Wm. Lindsay & Son, 
was extra fine. Holsteins of the best were ex¬ 
hibited by W. M. Benninger and Henry Stephens 
& Sons. A fine herd of Aberdeen-Angus were 
shown by Jas. Blair, Short-Horns by Robert 
Watson. A. S. Worden exhibited his herd of 
prize-winning Devons. Wm. Lindsay had the 
only show of Ayrshires, and Mrs. M. J. Long 
exhibited very fine specimens of young Brown 
Swiss cattle. Hon. J. D. Cameron’s show of 
Hackney horses attracted considerable atten¬ 
tion, as also did the fine Hambletonian horse 
from the stables of Mrs. M. J. Long. E. Camp¬ 
bell & Son and Wm. Benninger exhibited fine 
prize-winning sheep of their kind. Reist & 
Pierce had a fine lot of Chester White hogs, and 
E F. Shepherd showed Yorkshires. The show of 
poultry has never been excelled for quality. 
There were over 2,000 birds on exhibition, and 
everything passed off very satisfactorily to both 
exhibitors and management. The large attend¬ 
ance throughout the week was evidence of the 
growing popularity of the exposition. t. c. p.

A Builder’s Experience. 
A USEFUL LIFE RENEWED 
IN A REMARKABLE MANNER. 
Udney Y. Wilson Was Hear Death’s Door. Doctors Failed 
to Help Him—A Home Remedy Succeeded 
in Saving His Life. 
From the Evening News Detroit, Mich. 
Udney Y. Wilson, contractor and builder, living 
in Detroit, Mich., at 87 High Street, West, said 
regarding Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale 
People: “For years I have been out-of-doors in 
all kinds of bad weather, looking after my build¬ 
ing contracts. I have worked many days in the 
rain and cold to complete some building. About 
two years ago I noticed I could not get around as 
I should, and commenced to have a severe pain 
in my back. I tried the usual remedies without 
getting any relief, and for nearly a year I suffered 
intensely. I kept up as long as I could, as I had 
several contracts for buildings that had to be 
completed. 
“ At night I could not sleep. My physician said 
it was my kidneys, and every day I went out doors 
they wou’d keep me awake nearly all the follow¬ 
ing night. Instead of getting better, I became 
worse, and worried a great deal about my work. 
The doctor said I must quit work and go to bed, 
or he would not be responsible for my life. 
“ All the medicines I took only helped me tem¬ 
porarily. Some days I would feel better and go 
out a day only to be again confined to my bed for 
weeks at a time. One day my wife suggested that 
I try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and 
I laughed at the idea. 
“ Finally, when I got into such a condition that 
I would take almost anything in the hope of re¬ 
lief, I tried the pills. They helped me from the 
start, but I would not acknowledge it, and said it 
was the other medicines that had just commenced 
to work. I disliked to own up that Dr. Williams’ 
Pink Pills helped me, as I had no confidence in 
them. When I could not carry on the imposition 
any farther, I told my wife that the pills were 
helping me. 1 took three boxes before I was 
entirely cured, and we now keep them in the 
house all the time. 
“I am not prepared to say that Dr. Williams’ 
Pink Pills for Pale People will cure everything, 
but I know they will cure kidney troubles and 
general muscular weakness, as they cured me. 
“ I now recommend them to every one In my 
neighborhood, where I formerly made sport of 
all proprietary remedies.” U. Y. Wilson.

Public, this fourth day of March, 1897.
