A Fire

Monday morning last about 3 o'clock,
an alarm of fire was given. There being
no perceptible blaze Illuminating the sky,
our people on peering out into the dark
ness were at loss at first to determine
whether it was false or true But after as
sembling on the square the dense volume
of smoke seen issuing from the interior of
Mr. f. L. Fowlers store, told the tale, and
excited 10 prompt action the fire department.
The doors of the stole being all locked, the
basement door and the rear door were brok.
en- open, when the Hook and Ladder boys
used their extinguishers to good effect. By
this time, the steam fire engine was in
working order and nozzle was run in at the
back door and the floor was flooded with
water, completely extinguishing the fire,
which was making good Roadway. A hole
was burnt through the floor and counter,
upon which were some clothing, was
charred, consuming some of the clothing,
The goods were badly damaged by the heat,
smoke and water, but Mr.. Fowler had in
surance sufficient to cover his loss. How
the fire originated is unknown, but the
'fire boys" certainly deserve praise for the
successful manner in which they eXtin-
guished it at such an early stage of its pro-
gress.

This much about the watch. 1t is

willing they should have il, knowing that
it could amount to nothing"
"Are there no other grounds for suspi-

Ine UocUor,s Mistake.

One of the old mistakes of the
profession was to think that there
were no other ways of curings dis
ease except those which had been
handed down from former timesk
1t is not to be denied that the
Doctors have done great things for
the world. But when it comes right
down to the real curing Of disease,
it must be admitted that Browns
Iron Bitters has done enough to
arm the generous gratitude of this
whole present generation, including
the medical profession. There arc
no mysteries or secrets about the
compounding of Browns Iron Bit
tiers. This preparation of firon is thu
only preparation which will not in
jure teeth or stomach. In this it is
beyond comparison better than the
other preparations, which are mis-
chievous and injurious.
You need not fear a mistake in

nence of urine to an alarming degree; indeed,
1t dem andod my attention fifteen or twenty
times per night, and at times it would seem i'm
possible for mo to ride down TO the depot on my
wagon, for every jar from the wagon would al
most seem to take my life. Having failed to
obtain relieff ON my doctor, 1 finally consulted
our druggist, DIR Merryman. of Brunswick, and
requested him to furnish me with the most re
liable and speedy cure for such sickness, for
was suffering too much for human nature to en-
dure long The doctor recommended me to
use Hunts Remedy, as 1t had been used with
remarkable success in a good many cases in
Brunswick and vicinity. j purchased a bottle,
and received such great relief that continued,
and had not used two bottles before l began to
improve beyond my expectations The pains
in my kidneys and loins disappeared, 1 re-
