Plain Talks on Fertilizers
A Talk to Fruit-Growers
You use a fertilizer
of course, but do you
use enough ?
The yield per acre,
and the profit therefrom
increases in far greater
proportion than the cost
of additional fertilizer.
What is an increase in
cost of $2.00 to $10.00
per acre for fertilizer
when the returns therefrom
show an increase of $50.00 to
$250.00 per acre?
The big Magnolia Fruit
Farms at Durant, Miss., tested
the well-known Virginia-Car
olina Fertilizer
in di f f ercnt
quantities o n
their straw
berry crop.
Result: when
1,000 lbs. per
acre were used
the profit was
$/j.00 more per
acre than when
500 lbs. per
acre were used.
This is modern intensive cul
ture, the method that is doub
ling and trebling the crops of
all kinds of fruit in
either good or in poor
and worn-out land all
over the country?and
in good soil, too.
The yield will be
according to the
amount of plant food
you give your trees or
plants?you can de
pend on it. The better
they are fed the greater
and more valuable will
be your crop. Fertil
ize sparingly and you
reap sparingly.
The fact that over a million
tons of Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizer were sold last year
proves them to be without
equal. Every fruit farmer,
no matter what method he
now uses, should get the Vir
ginia - Carolina
Company's
new Year Book
or Almanac.
It is free to all
who arc inter
ested enough
to write for it.

During 19C0 I was running a farm on
the Mississippi river and became so impreg
nated with Malaria that f<\ a year I was
almost a physical wreck. I tried a number
of medicines recommended as blood purifi
ers, chill cur:s, and Malaria cradicators,
but nothing did me any good until I began
to use S. S. ?. The result was that after
taking it for awhile I was as well and
strong as I ever was. I have never had a
chill since nor the slightest symptom of
Malaria. I hope others will be benefited
by my experience, and with that end in
view I give this testimonial, knowing that
S. S. S. is the best remedy for Malaria.

he says: "Doctors got badly mixed
up over me; one said heart disease;
|two called it kidney trouble; the 4th
.blood poison, and the fifth stomach
and liver trouble; but none of them
helped me; so my wife advised try
ing Electric Bitters, which are re
storing me to perfect health. One
bottle did me more good than all the
five doctors prescribed." Guaranteed

.Uai.u u ... u.io to iiupurities and pui?uuj in the blood; Instead of being
rich, strong- and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of
disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and
strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery
condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off
the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of these
red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we
see pale, 3allow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first
symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general systemic disease, and as
the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its germs we have more serious
and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts
of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight
fever arc frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a
constant tired-out and "no account " feeling. The lack of necessary nour
ishment and healthful qualities in
the blood causes boils and abscesses,
skin affections, and in some cases
sores and ulcers to break out, and
sometimes the patient is prostrated
with a spell of malarial fever which
ma}' leave his health permanently
impaiied. To cure Malaria both a
blood puriGer and tonic are necessary,
in order to remove the cause and at
the same time build up the system
from its weakened and run-down
condition. S. S. S. is the medicine
best fitted for this work. It is the
most perfect of all blood purifiers, and
the purely vegetable ingredients of
which it is composed make it the
greatest and safest of all tonics.
3. vS. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every trace of impurity
cr poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual
ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it
renioVes the germs and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing
this tones up and strengthens every part of the system. When S. S. S. has
cleansed the blood the .symptoms pass away, the healthy color returns to
the complexion. the old tired, depressed feeling is gone, and the entire health
is renewed. Book with information about Malaria and any medical advice
