The Catfishtown food gate has been
finished, and is to all appearance a solid
and substantial piece of work, creditable
alike to the City Council Committee
men, who have designed it, Administra-
tor Powers, who assisted in carrying it
out, and also to Mr.. c. A. Sharp, the
sklllful carpenter who put up the wood
work in the best manner possible. The
tiood-gate is ready for service and will
soon be put to the test. Its success. in
our opinion, will cause the erection of
many such along the Mississippi.

The answer to my inquiries always

result of this blood poisoning, find
dyspepsia and disordered functions
of the 1eart, lungs, liver, and kid

nervous debility, and other impaired
organic portions, often verging in
paralysis. In order to keep the d.
gestive organs in proper health and
strength, and my friends in the pro-
fession have recommended Browns
Iron Bitters-they act 50 mildly and
soothingly, never leaving any un-
pleasant fter-effects, strengthening
the organs Of digestion, and perma-
nently removing every symptom of
i'll health, languor, and debility. No
remedy in the east gives such good
satisfaction as Browns Iron Bitters,
and all druggists can procure it for
you. Don't be persuaded to use a
substitute. The remedy contains no
alcohol and is the only preparation of
Iron that does not blacken the teeth.
