A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Throat and Lungs that any other. 1t
is probable that everyone, without excep-
ton, receives vast numbers of Tubercle
Germs into the system and where these
germs fall upon suitable soil they start
into life and develop, at first slowly and
is shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing Consumption and to the head,
causing Catarrh. Now all this is dan
gerous and if allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. At the onset you must
act with promptness allowing cold to
go without attention is dangerous and
may lose your life. AS soon as you feel
that something is wrong with your
Throat. Lungs or Nostrils, obtain bot
tie of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.-Another
sad railroad accident occurred Sunday
morning between and 6 O'Clock, by
which promising young man lost his
life. Mr.. Edward Flynn, aged about
"a, son of Mr.. George Flynn, of this
place, brakeman on the B. & O. for
about three years, fell between the
cars while shifting in the yards at
keyser. and was cut in two. The cars
were going through the yards when
the sudden reversing of the engine
threw him off his guard. The remains
were prepared for burial and brought
home. The funeral took place from
st. Joseph's Church, Tuesday morn
ing. Mr.. Flynn lost a son several
years ago by the falling in of tunnel
and now another support in his adj
yancing age is taken away. Mr.
Flynn is cripple himself, unable to
90 hard work, and has been doing the
best he could for years. Misfortune
seems to crowd upon some people, and
when the day of their reward comes
it should be correspondingly great.

THEIR ONLY MEDICINE CHEST.

DEERLoDGE, MONTANA, Dec. 16, 1885.
I have been using Brandreth s Pills
for the last thirteen years, and though l
have had nine children, have never
had doctor in the house, except three
times, when we had epidemic of scarlet
fever, which we soon banished by Wig
orous use of Brandreth's Pills. 1 have
used them for myself, two or three night
for mouth, for liver complaint, dyspep-
STA, and constipation. In diarrhea.
cramps, wind collie, indigestion, one or
two Brandreth's Pills fixed the children
at once. A box of pills is all the medi-
cine chest we require in the house. We
use them:for rheumatism. colds. catarrh,
biliousness, and impure blood. They
meyer have failed to cure all the above
complaints in very few days.
