A Good Cough Wcdicine. Commissioners’ Court Minoton:
[From the Gazette, Toowoomba, Australia.]
I find Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is an excellent medicine.
I have been suffering with a se
vere cough for the last two
months, a.nd it has effected a
cure. I have great pleasure in
recommending it.—W. Q. Wock-
neb. This is the opinion of one
of our oldest and most respected
residents, and 11 has been voluntari
ly given in good faith that- others
may try the remedy and be bene-
fitted as was Mir. Wockner. This
remedy is sola by all dealers in
Perry, Warren & Lowe, Byron.

President Hill and his principal
associates in the scheme to consoli
date the great western railway sys
tems, failed to appear before the in
terstate commerce commissioners on
the 8th inst., as requested, and now
the chairman of the commission says
the penalty of $5,000 fine will be
enforced if they fail to appear on
January 24th, the day to which the
investigation was postponed. It
seems these gentlemen are opposed
to publicity when their business
schemes are-concerned.

’Tivas a False Alarm.
I have used your Dr. CaMwell’s
Syrup Pepsin and can truthfully
recommend it. Some four years
ago doctors told, me that I had
Bright’s Disease. I was laid up
three months and nothing I used
helped me and no food would stay
on my stomach. I used one bot
tle of your Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin and food would stay on
my stomach and I craved some
thing to eat. I got well. There
was no Bright’s disease about me.
it was a ‘'false rumor.” Ever
since I have recommended Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin to friends
and strangers. It is just splen
did. I have full confidence in it.

were served, and a most bountiful
table was spread—turkey, chickeu,
old ham, cakes, fruits, etc. At 12
o’clock the crowd departed, saying
they had a good time.
