Indiana Scientist Who Originated the Now Famous

Free to Sick and Ailing.
I
, In order that every reader of the
Democrat-Gazette who needs treat-
ment may have an opportunity to
test this celebrated medicine, the
now famous Indiana scientist has
come to the front with an offer to
give absolutely free a large proof
package to Ave hundred readers of
this paper to prove the wonderful
claims which have been made for it.
In making this offer the scien-
tist said: "I know that
there are many people who
have been suffering for years with
some chronic disease and many of
them have spent large sums of
money seeking a cure. I know that
these people hesitate about investing
money in medicine because they
have despaired of ever getting well.
Thousands have told me that Btory
and many thousands <|f the same
people have told me afterwards that
my treatment had cured them after
doctors and everything else had fail-
ed. I want to show these despairing
people that all the newspaper talk
about my treatment is absolutely
true. I want to prove to a limit-
ed number-—no matter what the dis-
ease, no matter how long they may
have suffered, no matter how blue
and discouraged—that my treatment
really and actually does accomplish
the wonderful results that have been
reported."
People who suffer from Rheu-
matism, Kidney Trouble, Stomach
Trouble, Liver or Bowel Disorders,
Catarrh, Bronchltlo, Asthma, Chron-
ic Coughs, Weak Lungs, Lumbago,
Piles, Urinary Disorders, Female
Weaknesses of any kind, the weak,
worn out, broken-down and despond-
ent will be delighted at the effect of
a few doses. This wonderful treat-
ment creates a fine appetite and
helps the digestive organs to carry
on their functions as they should.
It strengthens the kidneys, too, and
drives rheumatism poisons from the
blood as if by magic. That is why
people who try it become bo en-
thusiastic.
Any reader of the Democrat-Qft-
zette who will try this extraordinary
medicine that has created so much
excitement by lte cures can obtain
absolutely free a liberal treatment
by simply filling in the coupon be-
low or writing a letter describing
their case in their own words, if
they prefer, and mailing it today to
James W. Kidd, Fort Wayne, In-
diana. No money need be sent and
no charge of any kind will be made.

IIuIm.'h All He Can and lluys no
More Than He Must.
J. P. Duncan, one of West Collin's
foremost farmers and large land
owners, was here Saturday. He
came to the county In 1S0S, since
which time he has strictly lived at
home and boarded at the same place,
not buying a pound of lard or bacon
or soap scarcely during all the time,
but producing these articles at
home and on the farm. He never
before last year failed to raise
enough corn and: wheat lo do him,
but the drouth utterly destroyed his
corn last year, which necessitates
his buying feed and to use his own
words he said "Actually I am
ashamed to meet people in the road
when I am hauling out feed, for I
never did such a thing before." Mr.
Duncan further said that he actually
hadl to haul water out from town,
too, on account of the very severe
ami long continued drouth, which
recently has been broken by refresh-
ing rains that have renewed the
water supply and put an excellent
season into the ground. Mr. Duncan
regards the present crop outlook as
being most excellent and he never
again expects to witness as nearly a
total failure In corn and feedstuff in
Collin county as was experienced
last year.

R. F. Baker died at the home of

many years. He moved to Valley

Mr. Baker was a high-toned Chris-
tian gentleman, having been a mem-
ber of the Methodist church for

HIGHEST IN
EIGHT YEARS
The heaviest rain in the past
eight years fell here Sunday and
Sunday night, the precipitation
amounting to three and a half inches.
Owing to the fact that the former
recent raius had thoroughly saturat-
ed old mother earth, the water
which fell Sunday and Sunday night
was hastened to the creeks and
branches, and aB a result every
stream was out of banks before
daylight next morning. East Fork,
Honey and Wilson Creeks were
over a mile wide in places. Sev-
eral persons who had stock in their
pastures in the creek bottoms were
forced to go out early Monday
und drive the stock to higher places
for safety. The crowd In town to-
day was very small, owing to the
fact that the people of the country
did not care to attend First Monday
trade day, by having to risk their
lives as well as the lives of their
stock In crossing the swollen
streams.
All the letter carriers left at their
usual time Monday a. in., but not
more than half an hour had elapsed
when Carriers Ben Richardson of
route 3, Buck Nelson of routel and
Weeden Franklin of rout.e 4, return-
ed, stating that it was impossible to
cross.
It is stated that the bridge across
East Fork near Weston was washed
away in this overflow. Fences were
torn down and other damage of sim-
ilar nature done. The lightning
played around In McKinney consider-
able and early Monday morn-
ing, striking the residences of T. M.
Wilson on East Anthony street and
Mrs. Caver on North Church street,
doing slight damage. The lights
were put out of commission at va-
rious times during the electrical dis-
play. '
Farmers are wearing a smile to-
day as a result of the fine rains.
They are now fully convinced that
the long drouth has at. last been
broken, and are jubilant over the
prospects of the coming crop. The
wheat, oats and alfalfa are greatly
benefited by the rains and a gooiH
crop of each is expected.
