THE FERGUSON YELLows BILL.

THE FERGUSON YELLOWS BILL
The South Haven Sentinel contains letter
from y. II. Bltely of LawtoD, strongly censnr-
ing bill introduced by Representative Fergu-
son, to prevent the spread of the yellows, and
another from c. d. Lawton OF the same place
the bill Mr.. Lawton says:
rhe bill Is entitled To prevent the dis
sanitation of the disease known as yello vs."
etc., and yet II provides tor the sale OF diseased
fruit by simply marking the package az con-
txinlng peaches which are affected And again
the bill does not suitably provide for the de-
struction OF diseased trees. According to its
terms the commissioner shall examine and
condemn diseased trees and notify the owner,
occupant or agent TO remove them, and II he
fails or refuses TO do SO, then it is made the
duty of the commissioner TO commence suit in
behalf OF the township and recover Judgment.
But in the meantime the danger is not re-
moved; the township is forced into the trouble
and expense OF litigation, always uncertain al
best, against possibly impecunous and ire
sponsible PARTIES, for the purpose OF obtaining
a Judgment. and .here the matter rests-the
trees are left to spread their baleful contagion.
1t is evident that nine times out Of ten litgs-
ton Of this sort would be mere farce, for the
reason that condemned trees which are not re-
moved most frequently occur upon non-rexl-
dent land, are commonly, at best, worthless
seedlings, and It IS difficulty TO find who is
responsible, and judgment, il obtained, could
not be collected. But we do not want prose-
cutions We desire the distraction OF diseased
peach trees, and some one must be authorized
aud instructed to do this work when the par
ties themselves fail TO do 1t as required. The
bill is defective in other respects, as for in
stance it fails 10 specify the tune the com
missioner shall give for toe removal OF the
! trees he condemns. We want law that can
be enforced, that would stand the test OF the
courts and accomplish the desired purpose to-
wit the protection Of our most delicious and
profitable fruit from the destroying effects OF
this contagious disease.

Thou hast left us, dearest Lizzie,

for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appc-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen

pam. accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation IN the back part. There is
generally q considerable loss OF men,

weariness and debility; he IS easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains OF a prickly sensa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude

every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases

Every moment OF delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the iudicious
choice of q remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor of DIR. Schenck's Pulmonic sy up, ns a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates OF many persons of the highest
respectability, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's PuImonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment Of two other remedies which Dr.schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional RENE
dies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills BY the timely use of these medicines, ac-
cording to directions, DR.. Schenck certifes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. schenck is professionally at his principal
