Women are everywhere using and recon-
mending Parker's Tonic because they have
learned from experience that it speedily over
comes dependency indigestion or weakness
in the back or kidneys, and other troubles
peculiar to the sex.
II have long been a sufferer from female
complaints. Have tried physicians AMI Id-
v~ertised remedies. but without any relief
| whatever. With but little hopes of receiving
any benefit, l bought a bottle of Parker's
Tonic. The effect of that one bottle was so
satisfactory that 1 kept ON using it, and am to

remedy for suffering women and my advice

The reconstruction of a sewage system Is Il
monster task. The change Of elevation and
the tearing up of streets would involve a tur-
moi of many months Yet this is the very
problem that the engineering department OF
the city is solving with u view tO the preven-
ton of numerous aches and pains. And the
plan which emanates from that office has
very much to recommend il, particularly as
there is no immediate prospect of the Chicago
rivers becoming a terror OF the past Ii Is
the plan in vogue i'll many OF the pOpulOus
centers of Europe, Paris, particularly, having
found it happy solution of the sewage qucs-
ton.
1t is proposed to purchase at considerable
distance from the city large number of acres
of sandy soil that is porous to great depth.
Such land is abundant around Chicago This
will be suhividcd, and 10 it will be conducted

centage of the waste, of cOHrSe, Is water
This will percolate through the sand and will
be seen 10 more The substance will remain
on the surface of the area, will be gathered ut
regular intervals and be made q source of
profit. In this way one sand lot will be used
after another, and the disposition Of the solid
portions Of be ~ rapid that, il il affirmed, the
Immediate locality will suffer no inconven-
ience. 1t is believed by those who have stud
led the question that by this method it can b.
solved for all time | understand that esti-
mates OF probable expense are in course of
