why Will You

Allow n cold to advance In your system
and thus encourage more serious mala'
dies, such as Pneumonia. Hemorrhages
and Lung troubles when an immediate
relief can be so readily attained.
Boschee's German Syrup has gained the
largest sale in the world for the cure OF
coughs, colds and the severest lung dis
eases. II Is DIR. Boschee's famous Ger
man prescription, and Is prepared with
the greatest care, and no fear need be en-
tertained in administering 1t to the
youngest child, as per directions. The
sale of this medicine Is unprecedented.
Since first introduced there has been a
constant increasing demand and without
a single report of failure to do its work
in any case. Ask your druggists as to
the truth of these remarks. Large size
75 cents. Try 1t and be convinced.

Prof. Dewey "Unearthed.p

eat last we have unearthed Prof.
Dewey" shouts the organ, in its
last issue and what was the result
of that "unearthingG" The result
was the bringing out of state
ment by Prof Dewey, which proves
to the readers of the organ, that
its manager does not hesitate to
SANDER the citizens of its own
town without the slightest cause I;
that it made false accusations Of
dishonesty against a man Of un-
blemished character; that IL makes
criminal charges without ground
or reason, and that 1t is ever ready
to defame tho community in which
IL is published, and the people that
IL falsely prctends to represent. IT
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1879-03-19

acknowledges its cowardice in re-
moving the Objectionable charge
from the paper sent to the Professor,
and supplying its place with adver-
tisements. It's defense is negli-
gence, but it is strange that the
Professor, of all persons, should
receive a copy with the charge
omitted. The poor, miserable plea
cannot fail to create a feeling Of
disgust in the minds of all honest,
fair minded persons, and their YER
dict must certainly be that the
organ man was ashamed of his own
vile production. He further tries to
clear himself Of all responsibility by
endeavoriDg to shift it on some one
else, by saying that by "request" he
insinuated that the Professor was
dishonest; that he condescended to
injure the character of a fellow be-
ing and ruin his character; but the
defense of the organ man is decid-
eddy slim, cowardly and cringing,
and the consequences of his own
actions terrify him to such an ex-
tent that he is willing to 90 almost
anything to evade the evils that
hang over his head. AS regards
the reputation of the organ, it is in
no wise impaired, for the simple
reason that it never had q reputa-
ton to lose. Week after week it
has carried its i'll omened messages
to distant parts of the State, setting
forth erroneous charges concerning
the honor of our citizens; it has
done its utmost to make our people
dissatisfied with the county in which
they live; it has moderated our
public institutions it has abused
strangers who have paid the city
visit, and it carries to parties liv-
ing outside the city the impression
that our people are destitute of
enterprise, if they are justly repre-
sented by such sheet as the or
gan.
Yes, he has "unearthed" Prof.
Dewey, but he is so destitute of
manliness that he has not the cour-
age to acknowledge that he has
done that individual a serious
wrong, but would endeavor to
crawfish and bubble in manner
more becoming a wolf in Sleeps
clothing.
Our citizens have RETAINED from
paying any serious attention to the
base charges and insinuations of
the organ, believing that the Ian
guage of David Barker would be
more fitting to its course than to
waste their own time on its filthy
articles:
"As years begin to cool my blood,
rather all would doubt my spunk,
Than for a moment undertake
To fight human skunk"
Now, who, among our citizens,
will be the next victim at whom
the organ will throw mud!

One of the main features of the
spring election this year is the
question of building a court house
in this county. Alpena county
is the largest In population and
wealth of any county on the shore ;
it is county in which there is far
more business transacted then in
many of the older counties of the
State; the county already owns
the land on which to erect court
house, aud the increase and growth
Of the county demand that such a
structure should be erected and
as there will probably never be q
time when the work can be done to
any better advantage than at the
present time, we are inclined to
the belief that it would be wise in
our people to vote in favor of rails
ing the $4,000 this spring for the
erection Of q court house.
