A correspondent at Miles City. Mon

A. r. MCDONALD,
Recorder.

The treatment of sixty thousand pa
tients should establish without doubt
the effectiveness OF Rev. t. p. Childs'
"Catarrh Specific" the advertisement oil
which appears In this issue.
Mr.. Childs gives his own experience ar
ter IL years of suffering from the dread
disease. No doubt many Of our subscrib-
ers will find their own cases stated with
startling clearness. That Mr.. Childs
has been able to cure himself and heal
the ravages made in his own system by
the disease, and then, after thirteen years
OF perfect health, to make tho assertion
that he has never once had return OF
the disease Is wonderful, and shows the
power and effectiveness OF the remedy.
He has treated and cured thousands
at their own homes, never having seen
them. In thoroughly honorable and
characteristic manner he publishes the
names and addresses Of few he has
cured, that any who desire may enquire
of the patients themselves what Childs'
Catarrh Specific has dono for them.
None need feel any hesitaucy in placing
their case In MIR. Childs' hands for treat.

tention TO the advertisement, and re.
quest careful perusal OF the facts az

which are undergoing repairs and
improvements, we might mention
that Fletcher, Pack & Co. are put
ting a new foundation under their
up river mill, and placing the same
in good repair in every respect,
ready for the next seasons work.
At their new mill they are to erect
a refuse burner in the spring, and
will put In gang lath mill and
gang bolter.
Geo. Prentiss will put in q new
Weeks gang, which will increase
the capacity of his mill about
1000, 900.
F. W. Gilchrist is putting in a
new Weeks gang, which will add
about 100000 to the cutting ca
pacity of lis mill.
W. H. & E. K. Potter are put
