Fifty Years Ago.

<7hile in Lowell was Doctor Ayer;
Both were busy for human weal
One to govern and one to heal.
And, as a president’s power of will
Sometimes depends on a liver-pill.
Sir. Polk took Ayer’s Pills I trow
For his liver, SO years ago.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills
Were designed to supply a
model purgative to people who
had so long injured themselves
with griping medicines, feeing
carefully prepared and their in¬
gredients adjusted to the exact
necessities of the bowels and
liver, their popularity was in¬
stantaneous. That this popu¬
larity has been maintained is
well marked in the medal
awarded these pills at the
World's Pair 1893.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold
is very easily contracted, and if
left to run its course without the
aid of some reliable cough medi¬
cine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamber¬
lain’s Cough Remedy. We have
used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfac¬
tion.—Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that
is known to be a certain preven¬
tative of pneumonia. Among
the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe,
we have never yet learned of a
single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have
w T e ak lu ngs or have reason to
fear an attack of pneumonia, hand.

The readers of this pape r will

at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able bo cure in

Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the omy
positive cure known to the medi
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires Hall’s a
constitutional treatment.
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the sys¬
tem, rthereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the [ patient strengbt by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it*

much faith in its powers,

Liver troubles quickly result in serious
complications, and the man who neglects his
liver has little regard for health. A boftle

will keep the liver in perfect order. If the
disease has developed, Browns’ Iron Bitters
will care it permanently. Strength and

NEW IDEAS,
NEW STYES,
NEW METHODS.
Still Improving.
Marshal Tucker has been do¬
ing some needed work on Com
Street this week, grading
down and widening the side
walk on the hill near the Masonic j
Hall. The improvement along 1
that section is great and wo are j
proud to see the good work go-1
in - on.
A Christmas Tree Wanted.
We have not heard of anything
being prepared for the children's
entertainment Christmas. There
should be a Christmas tree ar¬
ranged. It is old time fun for
tiro little ones (and some big ones,
as to that matter) and such en¬
joyment should not be denied
them. Who will move in this
matter?
Should del it Up.
Some of our young people are
desirous of organizing a literary
and social club. It is a good
idea and everybody should give
such organizations their hearty
approval. It has been some
months since anything of the
kind was had in Crawfordt ille.
Such meetings would be quite
entertaining these winter nights.
The doctor may be a good old
man, but even so, medical ex¬
aminations and the “local-ap¬
plication” treatment are abhor¬
rent to every modest woman.
They are embai rasing—often
useless. They should not be
submitted to until everything
else has been tried. In nine
cases out of ten, there is no rea¬
son for them. In nine cases out
ten, the doctor in general
practice isn’t competent to treat
female diseases. They make a
branch of medicine by them¬
selves. They are distinct from
other ailments. They can be
properly understood and treated
only by one who has had years
of actual practice and experience
in this particular line. This is
true of Dr. R. V, Pierce, chief
consulting physician of the In¬
valids’ Hotel and Surgical Insti¬
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite fori Prescription,
it remedy reprotj all derangements of
of the ictive organs
women, has 2n in actual use
for more than), thirty years. It
cures every form. of “female
weakness. ' *
