LYONS PERIODICAL DROPS.
THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARlTIES

I have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in cases of female irregularity, as
does this medicine. In all recent cases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer-
ers are indebted to it for the boon of health to-
dsy.
Although so powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times,
except when specially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by emf
nent physicians in France and England, as well
in my own practice, over ten yesis, and have
-. - h~-- Of the frst instance of failure. 1
could give yon testimonials of their efficacy rrom
ladies all over the northern and western states,
were they not in their nature private. Over 100,
900 bottles have been sold the past year, and
hope and trust many sufferers have been bene-
fitted. / am well aware teat a remedy so potent
to remove all distractions may be used for a bad
purpose, but trust that whore one bottle is TINS
used, ten may fall into the hands of really needy
sufferers.

preparation, their action is direct and posi-
tive than any pills powders. Explicit direc-
tions, wearing my facsimile, accompany each hot
tie.
They may be obtained of nearly every druggist
in the country, or by incosing the price to C. q.

A correspondent in last weeks BULLETIN
takes the Board Of Supervisors TO task for
appropriating certain amount Of money
for the collection Of delinquent taxes. The
facts in the case were simply these. A large
amount of unpaid delinquent taxes had ac>
cumulated on the Treasurcrs' books. These
taxes had been accumulating for several
years. Mr.. ". G. Donnan, while Treasurer
Of the county, attempted to have them col
lcctcd BY sending out collectors whose cons
pensation according to Law was five per cent.
ON the tax collected 10 addition to il. Times
were hard and the collectors made little head.

made no effort Of this kind, probably think.
ing il useless. The present incumbent found
quite an accumulation Of taxes due and hav.
ing finally brought them into orderly ar
rangement, endeavored 10 secure their pay
ment, by sending notifications to . large
number Of delinquents. This reached only
portion Of them and hc then endeavorcd to
find responsible person to collect the re-
mainder for the legal compensation Of five
per cent, lie informs US that he could find
no such person TO undertake the work for
that compensation. lie reported these facts
to the BOARD Of Supervisors, who decided
rather than to lose the delinquent taxes en-
tircly, to pay an additional compensation Of
20 per cent. on the actual amount collected,
and to require the collector to ascertain the
whereabouts and condition Of every delin-
qucnt on the list in every township. Many
Of the sums amounted to only few CENTS
and large number are not collectable, still
the collector is required to hunt up and re-
port on every case. Mr.. Westfall vieited
several townships, but owing to the scarcity
Of money has been compelled to defer fur,
ther collections until after harvest.
The question simply arises, whether Il was
