Dysentery is prevalent everywhere in
summer and ia due to miasmatic poi
sons, and begins abruptly with inflam
mation of the mucous lining of the large
bowel. In America the disease is com
mon, but pr.-perly treated does not re
sult aB seriously as in the tropica. Perry
Davis' Pain Killer is the best known
remedy and the most efficacious in the
treatment of dysentery.
Self Protection
demands that you be on the alert to see
that you get Pain Killer (Perry Davis)
when you ask for it; some dealers will
try and persuade you to take something
else, claimed to be just aa good ; insist
upon getting Paiu Killer, the remedy
which has been the world'a (am ly doc
tor for 60 years ; it never fails to stop
diarrhoea, griping pains in the stomach
or bowels, dysentery, etc. Large bottles
25 and 50 cents.

Bean tli Hib Kind Yon Ham Always Bcsgit
Butter and Eyas Short.
"Notwithstanding the great expansion
of the dairyinS business in this region
of late, the supply of butter ia not equal
to the demand, and Eiatern butter is
finding its way to this market tgain.
Last year there was no Eastern butter
brought here, but the long apell of dry
weather the last summer had the effect
of lessening the output, and the popula
tion ot the city has been increasing
rapidly, consequently Eastern butter
will have to be imported. Last spring,
when tho supply of butter began to ex
ceed the demand, a large quantity-some
loO.UUt) pounds waa bought up and put
in cold storage. This haa beeii nearly
all disposed of already, and as the prea
ent output of the dairies ia not enough
to supply the demand the shortage will
have to be made good by Eastern butter.
Eggs of late have been Bcarce, and sev
eral carloads have been sent from the
Eaet, but none of them hav come here,
so far as known. With eggs at 25 cents
a dozen in Portland and 19 cents a dozen
in Chicago, there ia a good margin for
importers. After Jharvett tho output of
eggs always increases, and it is said that
there will be more chickens engaged in
laying eggs in this !section this fall than
ever before. It is highly desirable that
Oregon should produce enough egga and
butter for home consumption, at least.
