Tbe American Farmer the Best In tbe World. The American farmer is the greatest man iu the world to-day because he is master of the soil he is gaining in intelligence quits as rapidly as his products are increasing in Magnitude. Our recent combines of capital in United States measured in money are enormous, yet such figures sink into insig nificance when compared to the money, brain and brawn invested in agricultural industries. For instance, the farmers of Minnesota and Dakota have received $300, 000,000 for their products in a single year. The farmer knows what Nature will bring: forth for him from his experience in the past. He knows if certain seeds are planted and properly cared for that Nature will take care of the rest. In the same way you are master of your oirn destiny. Providing your blood is in good order, it only needs a little effort on your own part to keep healthy and strong rid your body of the poisons that are apt to accumulate and your system is ready to ward off the attack of the frerms of disease.

It stimulates the liver into proper action, and feeds the worn-out nerves, stomach and heart on pure blood. Used for over a third of a century it has sold more largely than any other blood medicine in the United States.
