So writes our esteemed friend. Mr.
Frank Chambers, of 9 Bennett St.,
Chiswick: “For over two years I suf
fered agonies from indigestion, and lie-
came rexiuoed to a mere shadow of my
«taiwart »elf.
I would return home
from my business feeling so faint that
I could hardly drag one leg after tbe
other; my dear wife did all she poesi-
bly could to tempt me with dainty
dishre, and as I enterrei the house I
sniffed and thought: ‘Oh, how good; I
know I can eat that.*
But alas! no
sooner had I eaten a few mouthfuls,
when I felt sick; severe pains shot
through my chest and shoulder blades,
my eyes swam and everthing seemed
black. 1 became alternately hot and
cold, and got up from such a dainty
dinner heartily sick of living, and feel
ing I was a sore trial to everybody. I
may mention that 1 was also very much
troubled with a scaly skin, and often
boils. But one evening 1 noticed my
wife seem«! more cheerful than usual.
I questioned her and found she had
been reading a pamphlet she had re
reived, of men afflicted just as I waa,
and who had been cured by Vogeler’s
Compound. Said she, ‘What gives me
more faith in it is that it la made from
the formula of an eminent physician
now in active practice in the We«t End
of London, so I am sure it is no quack
thing.* ‘All right, dear, let's have a
bottle, said I. After taking the con
tents of the first bottle I felt very much
better, and determined to give this
remedy a fair trial, and I can positive
ly assure you that a few bottles have
made a new man of me.
I can sleep
well, ent anything and thoroughly en
joy life. I have told several of my
friends, whom 1 knew were suffering
tbe same as myself, and they all wish
me to say that they are like new men.
I sincerely bless the great physician
who gave you the formula of Vogeler’s
Curative Compound, and also your
selves for making its virtues known to
a suffering public.”

OWN8 THE LARGEST FARM.
Wonderful Record» of Th!»
Work at Tarkio, Mo.
Year’»
David Rankin of Tarkio, Mo., owns
the largest cultivated tract of lam! In
the world. To those who have never
visited a large ranch the methods nec
essary to carry on the vast amount of
work would seem a great problem.
Mr. Rankin owns fourteen ranches,
containing 22,000 acres; 700 teams and
220 men are re«|ulred to operate the
daily routine work In the busy season,
while the crops are under cultivation.
Each ranch has an overseer, who Is re
quired to make a monthly report and
to submit the same to bls employer.
The records of year's work for 1901
over all the ranches show that a total
of 7,539 hea<l of cattle had been sold
for <172,520 and 8,249 head of bogs for
$111.64*1. The total clearance for the
year amounte«l to $100,000. The •X-
peases. Including Interest reach«! the
sum of $91,851.13.
The most profitable ranch Is the one
looked after by Foreman G«>rge Ross,
whose yearly report contains the fol
lowing statements: Number of acres,
3,280; cattle. 1.328; net proceeds from
cattle. $44.598.90; hogs, 1.232; cash for
the same. $17,954 .19; expense per acre.
$4.39; corn bought, 98,720 bushels.
Mr. Rankin Is a close observer, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and noon picks
out the good qualities of his men. He
Is pleasant and accommodating, daring
nnd energetic, which qualities have
won for him the wealth he now com
mands. Besides his farms he has an
Interest In several banking concerns,
hut to these latter he gives little atten
