it six years ago, and felt some slight
obstruction at the time. Shortly
afterward and since that time he has expert
enced all the symptoms of asthma, and hal
MADE use oil the usual remedies for tina
complaint, without any success. DIR. Stew
enson had some time ago removed bear
from the trachea of child, and suspected
that this was the with Mr.. wilkins es

the good name of Vermilion county to hav,
it known abroad that she farms out til,
helpless and destitute men. women an;
children to the lowest bidder. The keepe
