i F. Christman, to a limited extent for Forty
Years, and for about thirty years free of any

increased demand made 1t too heavy tax for
charitable business, and the people being willing
and anxious to pay for III, made it an article Of
some profit, and have since that time sold the
Ointment at one dollar per Box or Bottle.
The Ointment is the cheapest that has been offer
ed to the public for many years. Each bottle
contains over three ounces of solid material, and
if put in liquid form, would make five bottles;
but would not answer as well as III the present
preparation.
But little effort has ever been made to bring it
before the public. To say that this Ointment
will cure everything would be asserting too much.
No Ointment will do that. But it is conceded

the high reputation which it has obtained, and

The gentlemen appointed by our citizens
as committee to look after our railroad
interest, have returned from their journey,
and report, that everybody, all along the
lake shore, from here to Milwaukee, are
wide awake to the Importance of this road,
and are ready to make any arrangements
or DO anything that is necessary to ensure
the success of the project. The people OF
Milwaukee are also ready and anxious to
do anything in their power to secure the
road.
The committee further report that all
that can be done is now being done, by
Railroad men, to push along the enterprise.
That at the coming session Of The Legis'a
turc, a charter will be obtained to build a
Road from Milwaukee to Lake SUPERIOR
and that the location Of the line Of road
will be left open Cor bids, that is, that the
road viii be built upon that line which will
give the most towards building it. The
time will soon come when the lake shore
towns, villages and cities, will have a chance
to put in their bids, or against the bids Of
the interior towns; when that time comes,
we must out. bid every other route.
