desire for solitude, stunning and avoiding
company, vertigo and nervous debility, Oh
when insanity has already taken place, Perun,

but it is never well to wait so long before treat

loss of strength, softness of the muscles, dim

lost, while they are otherwise enjoying COM
psratively good health; in all these Peruna

PHYSICIANS and all other intelligent
imen know that the dust of the street.
of towns is serious source of disease
Composed of dried and pulverized filth OF
all imaginable description-animal, vege,
table and mineral-it is lifted by the wind
and carried into dwellings and stores and
offices, and is inhaled by every one within
its reach. Carpets, furniture books, goods,
everything Hpon which it settles, is DANA
g"d by it. The people Ot st. CIairSviIe
suffer seriously from this nuisance, and
we have been requested to publicly call
the attention of the town authorities to
the necessity of abolishing it. 1t is not
sufficient TO clean the streets in anticipa
ton of an unusual use of them, as on the
occasion of fair or some other large
gathering. but several times during the
summer and autumn they should be swept
from curb to curb. and the filth promptly
and carefully hauled away. During the
incumbency of the Mayors Office by DR..
West this was done. Why can it not be
done now ?
