Complaint is made that the streets of the
city are so clogged with dirt and garbage
that it is difficult to pass along. This is
bad business, but not half so bad as when
the ducts and passages of the human sys-
tenn become blocked and clogged with inn
purities and the liver has no chance of do
ing it's work of cleansing the blood. But
even this state of affairs yields to Browns
Iron Bitters, the great family tonic, which
you can get at any drug store for dollar.

was made. He notified them, in effect,
that If any one would show to him that

would not send his name to the senate for
confirmation. In return, the Republican
senator in caucus determined to make no
