DR., Gundlach, Manager of the Sanicula
Spring, of this city, recently read before a
gathering of physicians paper ON Mineral
Springs, giving a comparative analysis of the
Sanicula Water with the famous mineral
waters of the world which was published in
the Chicago Wedical Investigator, which has
this editorial comment: Mineral waters with
many physicians are classed with patent medi-
cines, but this is manifestly wrong. They
represent a combination by nature, as distinct
as Belladona, or any other organic remedy
In Europe mineral waters have distinct rep
resentation for the cure of certain diseased
conditions. Many of the waters have been
proved and are found in Aliens Enclyco.
pmdia of Pure Materia Medca. The Sanicula
water has been similarity treated, a full report
of which appears on another page We notice
that the analysis of this water places it among
the chlorides, and in that, it differs from most
Of the American waters. That it must have
marked effect on disease, any one at all fami-
lar with zoo-chcmistry will at once decide. In
diseases of the digestive organs, kidneys,
bladder and skin, we should expect to note
the most marked and prompt effect We have
made some experiments with this water, and
are satisfied with the results"

Much Of the distress and sickness al .ribu.
Il to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhGa and other
causes is occasioned by humor in the
stomach. Several cases, with all the char

cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures
effected by this medicine are so wonderful
that the simplest statement of them affords
the best proof that it combines rare curative
agents and when once used secures the
confidence of the people.

Another old settler, for whom Ottawa has
many kind remembrances, passed away at
Earlville on Friday of last week, in the per-
son Of Albert +. Dow. He was native of
Boston, and had come to Illinois in 1885, set
Ting on a farm in the vicinity Of Earlylle
He afterwards came to Ottawa, and was for
several years employed as clerk and book
keeper in the Office of the county treasurer
and collector, and in 1855 was elected to the
office of county treasurer, which he held two
years. He was soon afterwards appointed
canal inspector at Ottawa, and then collector,
until, about eight years ago, he was trans
ferred to the collectors office, Chicago, which
he held until some two years ago, when he
became disabled by paralysis, and the position
was given to another.
His own as well other severe family Attic
ton bore heavily upon him in the latter years
of his life, and he is understood to have been
reduced to Stratened circumstances,
though at no time to restitution. As a clerk
and book-keepcr he had no superior, and in
every official position he held he was noted
for his accuracy and scrupulous fidelity to
his trust. He was a man Of more than ordi.
nary education, kind-hearted, genial, and of
an open, generous, nature. For the last year
or two his paralysis had measurably deprived
him both of the use Of pen and speech, so
that with one of his yvacious, social nature,
his atllictiOn was peculiarly severe and dis
trcssng. He leaves a wife, grown up son,
one married daughter and another hopeless
invalid. His funeral took place at EaryiIlc
on Sunday, his remains being conveyed to "a
family lot at South Paw Paw for burial He
was about ~ years of age.

The numbering of the houses of Ottawa is
rapidly progressing under the charge of
MeSsrs. Holland and Dwight, projectors of
the directory, The numbers are placed 100
to the block so that it will be found a very
convenient arrangement for the future. Each
householder is given his number as the
names are gathered for the directory, and they
should be placed on the houses, as the num-
Der of the house will be noted as the drec-
ton to the residence. The canvass for names
will be finished in a fortnight at most, after
which the book will be issued as soon as ra-
pid Typographical work can produce it.
Should there be any change in the names Of
the streets by the council, the new names
will be used in the book.
