Mr.. (irier's Position.

In the report of the Board of Educa.
ton, last Tuesday, Mr.. Grier, mem
Der from the Tenth Ward, was made tc
appear in opposition to placing plank
walks to school No. 10. This is an in.
correct conclusion to draw, as to Mr.
Grier's position. The gentleman
did not oppose placing walks to school
No. 10, but he was in favor of the work
being done by City Council as the walks
to school No. II had been torn up and
burnt after the Board placed them
there a year ago.

Disease of the kidneys is certainly
durable. My friend, Mr.. Joshua Tut,
hill, Of Saginaw, Mich, was attacked
by il, and was IN II most critical situ-
alton. His family physician recon-
mrnded Kim to take Hunts Remedy,
the great kidney and liver medicine.
He did so. His symptoms gradually
subsidized, and, at the end of o short
time, entirely disappeared. He was
completely cured, and is u well man to-
day. Recommend your readers to try
Hunts Remedy. Respectfully,

and permanent relief. My friends const
er them an invaluable and speedy remedy
for all kinds Of aches and pains. They are
blessing in disguise; and no wife or
mother should be without them if she val
ues her peace and comfort and freedom
from nervous exhaustion and other all
ments. AS 81 strengthening plaster, also
for backaches and weak nesses, they have
no equal. have never yet found plae-
