DIR. ). WILSON'S Tonic

Is the best medicine offered to the public for the cure of diseases caused by an impure or i'm poverlshed condition of the blood, It contains those elements which are essential to the build ing up Of the system to a state of perfect health It differs from other tonics in this manner: It is not mixture of cheap barks in poor liquors, of which most of the so-called tonics are composed. It differs also from the popular bitters which net as cathartics and induce diseases, which do the patient harm. The Iron Tonic acts as a reg. nlator by toning up the system to a state of per feet heaith so that each organ will act naturally and and for itself The Iron Tonic has been used as a medicine in the private practice of a regular physician for number of years, who had his office in our drug store. We were surprised at from those who had used 1t, either as the physi- clan prescribed, or who took it on the advice of persons who had received benefit from it. We saw that the sale continued to increase; that or ders came from distant places-from Ohio, New Jersey, New York city and Connecticut, The or ders increased in such manner that we were con- Vlnced the Iron TOM1C was medicine of no ordinary merit.
 Without any advertising on our part, we have tion, over 1000 bottles of the Iron T OIlic. and tn e most of that number have been used by peo pie within radius of two miles from our store, so tnat we nave been compelled to place it where As to cases demanding it's use, all cases of weak ness either the result of sickness, or of mslarial influences. For indigestion, lack of tone of the digestive organs. For weak, fatigued feeling, an aching imthe back, such as so many of our Womeu COmE lh1u OI. For Neuralgia, Nervous ness and all cases where tonic treatment is de- handed, this medicine is particularly designed to relieve and cure.
 TESTIMONIAL.
 WILSON BRos.--I had for long time been troubled with an irregular action of the bowels and Kidneys; loss of appetite, and as conee- quence was very weak. was so constipated that was obliged to take cathartic medicine most of the time. There was want of action throughout my whole system. A friend told me of Dr. J. Wilson's Iron Tonic. tried one bottle and my bowels became regular the pain left my and now am well. I was surprised at the Den ehts received, and can cheerfully recommend your Iron Tonic to all who are suffering from debility from any cause D. W, H1TCHcoCK.

THE arAYOR's MESSAGE.

<
1t is not certain that the Mayor vial de
] liver a message TO the incoming council. but
he could do 50 with perfect propriety. HI
might perhaps say something like this:
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen of the
City of Kenosha, in Common Council as
| sembled
! GENTLEMEN Although it has not been
customary for my predecessors to present
messages when entering upon the dischage
of the important duties of mayor Of the city
still think it would be well to introduce
the custom at this time.
! First, desire to call your attention to q
subject of vital Importance, and one which
is agitating the public mind to an unusual
extent just at this time. The council which
has just expired-peace to it's ashes-granted
| twenty-six licenses to sell intoxicating
liquors and some of these to very unworthy
individuals. The lately defunct council
was composed OF twelve aldermen and the
mayor. With twenty-six saloons there
were two saloons for each alderman, and
two for the mayor. But, as there were
three aldermen on that council who invaria-
bly, voted against the granting of licenses
Aldermen Yule, Baldwin and Leonard-the
real number of those who granted these
twentY-six licenses is reduced so nine. This
will give us a new apportionment of saloons
amoBg the city officers, as follows : two sa-
looms for each alderman, two for the mayor,
4 MO For kho r,,oreboJ md ono for onnb &c &ba
four constables submit it to you, gentle
men, If 1t would not be better for the peace
and good order Of the city if the number
OF the saloons were confined to one saloon
for each alderman /, for one am perfectly
willing to forego the honor ~ of being the
patron saint of even one saloon and this I
do In the interest of good morals and the
Welfare of our beautiful city. submit the
question TO you. gentlemen, If twelve saloons
in the hands of the proper parties would
not be sufficient for all the necessary intox-
ieation of city of OILY five thousand inhab-
itants If the number of saloons was re-
stricted to twelve, the proprietors of these
twelve could better afford to pay SJ5o license
each, than $40 with twenty-six, which would |
bring into the city treasury about the sane
amount Of revenue that the twenty-six have
during the past year. With an earnest
Recommendation Of this subject to your
consideration, leave this matter in your
hands, fully believing that you are well
aware that upon you rests the responsibility
Of the manner in which. this subject is han
died by your honorable body
There is subject CT considerable impor-
,ance to which wish to call you attention /;
There have been paid out of the public mon
y of this county and city In the past, sew
,ral thousand dollars annually for tbs ar
est, trial, and board CT persons guilty of
nisdemeanors, who have been fned. and in
lefault of payment thereof have been COM
nitted to jail where they would be kept
Until the county officials become tired of
