The Warrior Mower Company of Little Falls, successors to Bramer & Pierce, of Fabius, advertise on page 18. The Young Warrior Mower, of their manu- facture, has been gradually growing in favor with the public since its first introduction, six years ago, and the improvements which have been suggested byits use have made it one of the most perfect and reliable ma- chines ever offered to a discriminating pub- lic. At several trials of Mowing Machines during the past season, the Young Warrior was declared by the judges superior to the others. It has very light draft and does its work well. This popular Mower was in- vented by Mr. Frank Bramer & few years since, and secured by letters patent. Its manufacture was commenced and carried on at Fabius, Onondaga County, until 1868, An exhibition of one of these machines in The Howe Sewing Machine, advertised on colored page 216, by the agents, Messrs. Bostock & Newbury, No. 114 Main street, Gloversville, N. Y., has proved triumphant, after years of trial. To those who are desirous of knowing why this Machine is the favorite with so many people, wo would say that the needle used is smaller with the same sized thread, than that need by other machines, making the work firm and strong, and using silk, linen or cotton thread equally well. The ten- sione of both upper and under threads do not vary, so that the threads are exactly interlocked in the center of the fabric-, the field at Little Falls in that season, pro- duced an impression so favorable on some enterprising citizens of that place, that a company was organized and incorporated for its manufacture at Little Falls. It com- menced business there on the first of De- cember, 1868. The establishment is on the south side of the river, adjoining the tow path of the Erie Canal. The principal building is of brick and stone, 80 feet by 40, four stories high, with an excellent water power. Another building has been erect- ed adjoining, one story high, with an area of 3000 square feet, to increase ita Ca pacity. Its castings are procured from the | giving the seam the same appearance on neighboring furnace of Mr. Reddy. The Company commenced moderately, pro- ducing only 600 machines the first year, intending to enlarge ite capacity and num- ber of the mowers from year to year, as its merits became better known. It employed 40 men last winter, besides the furnace men. Arphaxed Loomis is the President of the Company, and Frank Bramer the Manag- ing Agent. The Company hope by their increased facilities for the manufacture of this machine to keep pace with the increas- ing demand.

ancers cured!


OR NO CHARGE.


DR. KINGSLEY, OF ROME, N. Y.,


Has discovered a perfect cure for Cancers without the use of the knife. Thousands of cases cured can testify to the efficacy of this plan of treatment. This preparation will destroy the specific nature of most Cancers in from ten to sixty minutes. Even in those large Cancerous affections of the breast, from which so many females die annually, my specific is equally as effectual as in those smaller surface Cancers. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of all those persons who have died from Cancer, could easily have been cured. Cancer has been considered from time immemorial the greatest scourge of the human rare ; but the time will come when all shall see that it is as remediable as any other dis- ease. At the same time remedies are given to purify the blood and fortify the system against a renewed attack. In all cases, if the Cancer is not too far advanced, a perfect cure is warranted, or no charge.


Most persons are greatly deceived in regard to the first symptoms and appearance of Cancer, considering it very painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake, (cansing the death of thousands,) there being but little or no pain until the Cancer is far advanced. The only symptoms for months, and in some cases even for years, is occa- sionally either a stinging, itching. smarting, burning, creeping or shooting sensation, and in some cases not even any of these. Nearly all of those kernels or lumps that occur in the female breast. and also those unnatural appearances in the form of crusts or warty excrescence, which appear in either sex on the face, lips, noor, eye lids, or any other part of the surface, are cancers. Cancer is very easily cured in its early stage, consequently it is of the very greatest importance that all thus atticted should have unmediate i rear- ment; as thousands of very valuable lives have been lost from pure neglect, having been misguided by physicians having no knowledge of the disease, who, by calling it > crofila, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum or some other non-terrifying disease, full this unfortunate class in the cradle of ignorance, until upon the very verre of death. when, to hide such ignor- ance, the physician tells the patient that is has Anally turned to Cancer, and cannot be cured. There is no such thing as turning to Cancer. Whatever ends in Cancer, began in Cancer. Be no longer deceived. If you have the slightest suspicion of trouble. : eek immediate relief and thereby preserve life.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES.


The Gloversville Democrat, A. S. Botsford, editor and publisher, whose advertisement appears on page 280. is a newspaper of local, general and political information, and worthy of the patronage it receives. Its circulation, 1,000 copies weekly, makes it an object of interest to advertisers, the advantages of which they should not be slow to comprehend. All descriptions of Job Work and Fancy Printing is here executed in the best style. Call on them.


S. P. Huyes, manufacturer of Drain Tile, Oppenheim, N. Y., publishes a card on page 272. By referring to the card, per- sons will ascertain the size and price, while the quality is such as to recommend the use of these tile in all cases where Drain Tile can be used to advantage. Mr. Hayes will fill all orders at short notice, and we are confident that no investment of this kind will pay better than if invested in the Tile made by Mr. Hayes. Give him a call.


The Buckeye Mowing and Reaping Machine .- When the great U. S. Trial of Mowers and Reapers was held at Auburn in 1557, this admirable machine. which had just been brought out, surprised every body by its novelty and many excel- lencies, and won the highest awards. At that time the valuable patents under which it was built were secured for several States by the enterprising firm which now con- tinues its manufacture, Adriance, Platt & Co. At the second great trial of Mowers and Reapers, made by the N. Y. State Agri- cultural Society in 1868, the Buckeye again carried off the highest honors, showing that in the years' intervening it had not gone backward in the race for superiority. Every new suggestion is thoroughly weighed. improvements only are adopted. The verdict of the people is nearly as unani- mous as that of the learned and practical committees who made these awards, for its sales far exceed those of any other ma- chine in the sections supplied by Adriance, Platt & Co. In fact they increase so fast, that the demand is almost always in ex- Cess of the supply. The Self-Raking At- tachment on the Buckeye Machine has met with a success corresponding to that of the Mower, and has surpassed all othere in the perfection of its operation. One great secret of the enccess of Adriance Platt & Co., as manufacturers, has been in the con- scientious manner in which they have built their machines, and the great dura- bility of the Buckeye machine has been largely due to the excellence of the mute- rial used and the mechanical perfection of the workmanship. See advertisement on Map.


Dr. H. Gilbert, Fultonville, N. Y., advertisea on page 313. He makes a" spa- cialty of treating all aixesses of the throat and Jungs by inhalation. By this method of treatment, medicines are applied direct- ly to the diecased parts and produce an immediate effect. Patients are not oblized to experiment for months before finding out whether they are benefited or not. This treatment certainly looks reasonable. Let tho afflicted give heed.


The Equitable Life Assurance Society .- The time has long since paesed that popular opinion was averse to the principal of Life Insurance. It has often been demonstrated that Life Insurance may be a "Life Preserver" as well. How of- ten has the convalescent invalid expressed it as his belief that the satisfaction he ex- perienced in knowing that through his Life Insurance Policy, his family would be substantially provided for in case of his death, relieved the mind from many of the troubled thoughts that would naturaily find place in the brain of a kind and loving husband or father, who through negligence had omitted to provide for his loved ones in case of his decease, and this freedom from trouble on their future financial ac- count, was the main spring to his recovery. Cases like this are numerous, and to-day no thoughtful or prudent man of sound health, and having a family to provide for, is wise if he longer neglects to provide for them in this way. It is believed among the many companies, none can offer in- ducements superior to the "Equitable." This company is officered by experienced and well known financiers and business men. Cyrus Stewart of Utica is General Agent, with a Branch Office at Gloversville, under the management of Mr. Edward Ward. The business of this Agency amounts to the enormous sum of $1,000,000 anni- ally. Patrons will find these gentlemen courteous and always ready to serve them on the most liberal terms, and no company can offer better inducements to Agents. See advertisement, colored page 197.


D. C. VanCamp, proprietor of Live- ry Stable, Fort Plain, N. Y., advertises on page 288. Mr. Van Camp keeps good horses and carriages, and any one having occasion to patronize a Livery, will not do better than to call on him. His charges are always reasonable. Mr. Van Camp also advertises the famous trotting Stallion North Star, whose good points are too well known to need any recommendation from us. Let those interested read the adver- ment and then call and see for themselves.


The Gloversville Intelligencer, published by Geo. M. Thompson, was first issued in 1867, since which time it has steadily gained in public favor and in- fluence. Circulating, as it does, exten- sively in the surrounding country. business men in the vicinity and elsewhere will find its columns a profitable medium for advertising. People wishing bills, circu- lars, programmes, ball tickets, or in fact anything in the line of Job Printing, will find Mr. Thompson ever ready to accom- modste them at reasonable terins. Hle ad- vertises on page 204.


John Caldwell, Master Builder, At Amsterdam, publishes a card on page d14. His experience and knowledge of his trade warrant us in cominending him to the pat- ronage of those desiring the erection of any kind of building, where durability, er. pedition and cheapness, with beauty and fine finish together, is to be taken into con- sideration.


YOUNG WARRIOR HOWER MANUFACTURED BY THE


30


WARRIOR MOWAR LITTLE FALLS, N. Y.


CO.,


Successors to Bramer & Pierce, Fabius, N. Y.


This popular Mower has been in use for the past six reasons, and is, therefore, no new untried Machine, but one that has been practically tested and perfected, and is a perfectly reliable first claes Mower, as hundreds who have them in use will testify. We claim for this Mower superiority over most others in the following points :--


It is the lightest draft of any Machine made, average draft in the heaviest grass being only 175 pounds. It is simple, compact, neat and durable; no bearing down on the horses necks, no side draft, has an easy riding rent, is the easiest and most convenient Machine to manage in the market. Iron frame, two driving wheels, planetary gearing, entirely enclosed and protected from dirt or grass, flexible folding cutting apparatus, closely guarded, is inade of the best material and in the best possible manner, and is fully warranted.


This Mower was built for fire vi irs by BRANSB & PIERCE, at FABIE's, N. Y., who in January, 1920. moved their Works to LITTLE FALLS, And associated with themselves some of the most relighte business men of the place, incorporating s Stock Company, known as the WARRIOR MOWER CO., with a large capital. The Company refer with pride to the record made by the Young Warrior the part season, and hereby pledge themselves to sustain, and if possible. increase the reputation it has already attained by a judicions use of such improvements as would seem to make it better or more convenient, and by keeping the workmanship and material used in its construction fully un to the present high standard.


The YOUNG WARRIOR will beoffered for sale in the Counties of Fulton and Montgomery the coming season, and we would respectfully ask those wishing to buy Mowers to give it a trial.

Fulton Co. Democrat .- This old established paper has been published by Walter N. Clark, Eaq .. at Johnstown, for nearly thirty years, during which time it has gained warm friends, many of whom have doubtless come to regard it as one of the necessarice of life. Mr. Clark also pub- lishes the " Hamilton County Sentinel," at Sageville, in Hamilton County. Both papers are well conducted and deserving of liberal patronage. At the "Johnstown Insurance Agency," managed by Mr. Clark, applicants for all kinds of Insurance may be accommodated with policies in reliable companies. See advertisement, page 256.


Globe Mutual Life Insurance Company .-- It is with the greatest plea- sure that we call attention to theadvertise- ment, ineide first cover. The institu- tion there represented is, we are satisfied from personal inspection, possessed of every substantial advantage which is pre- eented by any company, and particularly of one which is not universally possessed. that of the most judicious and economical management. This, after all. is perhaps the most important merit which a company can possess, and this we conceive the Globe to be most certainly assured of, from the character of its organic structure, and of the well and widely known men who con- stitute the board of management, and the features in its charter to which we allude, are calculated to secure a continuance of the same careful and skillful control which has so rapidly pushed it forward into the foremost rank of life companies in America.


We take it for granted that the reader approves of life insurance, and if not al- rendy insured, designs at some time to effect an insurance upon his life. If rich he will do so for an investment; for men of wealth have learned that it pays, and that while it pays, it surely protects against those reverses and misfortunes from which even they are not exempt. The poor and those of moderate means, will insure be- canse it is the only way in which they can Fecure a fortune or a support to their loved dependent families, if death comes before they have had time to accumulate one.


We cheerfully counend the Globe to the insuring community. It has for its presi- deut oue of the fathers of life insurance in America. the founder of the company first chartered in the State of New York, and the anthor of the most beneficent feature of insurance-the non-forfoiture system. The Globe was the first company to apply this most just condition to all its policies. Into the hands of euch mou, it would be judged. we might safely trust our interests. and experience has demonstrated that it is 60.
