Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from active prac-
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East India missionary the formula of a SIM
pie vegetable remedy for the speedy and per-
manent cure Of consumption, bronchitis, ca
tarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung affec-
tions, also positive and radical cure for ner-
vous debility and all nervous complaints, af
ter having thoroughly tested its wonderful
curative powers In thousands of cases, feels it
his duty to make 1t known to his suffering
fellows. Actua;ed by this motive, and a con-
scentious desire to relieve human suffering,
he will send free Of CHARGE to all who desire
it, this recipe, with full directions for prepar-
ing and successfully using. Sent by return
mail by addressing, with stamp, naming this

1T is SELDOM THAT WE NOTICE anything in
the medical line, nor would we now, unless
we could be convinced that we are not doing
our duty as journalists in recommending TO
the public the celebrated botonical prepara-
tions OF Dr. Henry. Whoever induces the
victim OF Scrofula or any other disease of the
blood, to use Dr. Henry.s Extract OF Sarsapa-
rilla, has begun a good work. There can be
no question as to the result of this medicine
If persevered in. 1t is sure cure for Scrofu-
la, Rheumatism, Salt Rheum, and indeed all
complaints arising from vitiated and impure
blood. II is just what good physician would
prescribe for these complaints, and we con-
fidentially recommend IL as being the best
article now in use. DIR. Henry's Cough Balsam
is the most effective remedy for any affections
of the Throat or Lungs that we have ever
known. 1t contains no deleterlous drugs,
and can be taken with impunity and GER
tainty of relief. For the cure of Coughs, Colds,
Sore Throat, ETC., it stands without rival.
DIR. Henry's Linament as an alleviator OF
pain, is unrivalled by any preparation before
the public; the most skeptical will be con-
vinced by single trial. 1t will prove itself a
"friend in need" which no family should be
without

Few remedies are applicable to such wide

properties adapted to the cure OF each-such

its Alternative action upon the organs OF nutri-

well known properties as a remedy for ter
mittent and remittent fevers, dysp psia con-
stipa' ion, torpdity of the liver, general debil-

The suburban passengers WHO are obliged to
take the Illinois Central trains at the Central
Station, ara along-su6ering class OF people, but nj
weather like that of the past week they are some
whatdisposed toinqulro whether the railroad COM
pany cannot give them pasaageway to tue tram
without making them wade through or z inches
Of mud. II may bo impossible to give them
decent depot, but at least the filthy slime st the
foot OF Randolph street might be cleaned or
once or twice day, SO as to enable ladiee 70
reach the train without going ankle deep IN mud.
Oak street. from the railroad nearly TO the
lake, has been sheet Of water during most OF
the week. and while as q thoroughfare the street
has been practically useless tue residents on
that frontage have been considering the practi-
cabiity Of fish culture on large scale. Ihore l8
d fine sewer OIL Oak street too but the street was
graded so far below the level Of the surface con-
uection pipes as to make them available about
the timo the water in tho greet risee to height
which would endauger the lives OF small chill
dren in the vicinity.
There are a number Of boys in Hyde Park
who frequently violate the village ordinances BY
shooting within the limits aud around the
parks. So iDcesaant WIS their practice Of shoot
ing small birds last fall that the number OF
these little visitors was perceptibly diminished.
Lately they have taken TO shooting tame pigeons
whenever and wherever they can get shot at
them, and it is no unusual thing for clothing
hanging ont to dry to be perforated BY shot.
On the lake-frout especially the practice has be-
come exceedingly annoying, and unless Lhe pa
rents restrain these juvenile Nimrods. the police
will be called upon to enforce the village ordl-
nancen.
