M. Goodman, of Minot street, Bos

legged hen which he purchased in
Pittsfield, Me., a short time ago. So
far as known this is the only bird of
its kind in the world.
"You will notice,” said Mr. Goodman
to a reporter the other morning, "that
the tail grows on the right side of
the bird, and yet does not interfere
with the uBe of its wings.
"Two of the legs grow in the or
dinary manner and support the body.
The other two are perfectly normal,
except that they grow backward in
stead of downward, and the feet are
carried closed most of the time.
“She weighs three and one-half
pounds and was hatched on May 6
last,” he added, showing the bill of sale

The bird is of the Rhode Island red
variety, and so highly does the owner
prize it that instead of shipping it di
rectly home he kept it with him during
% four weeks’ business trip.
The chicken seems to be in perfect
health, and. In the words of the own

same cause—impurities in the blood which are not thrown
off through the action of the kidneys and liver. Johnston’s

diseases.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, the great health-winners and strength
givers, remove the conditions under which the blood and the system be
come diseased, while they encourage the digestive and assimilative organs
and functions to provide, from the food, new and wholesome blood to
transform the body from a weak, ailing and disordered condition into
normal, healthy and vigorous life, filling it with vitality, buoyancy and
beauty.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been in high esteem as a
most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema, old
sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy, boils,
liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and a long
list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:

There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency. I,
