A WARNING
d&w1w

The modes OF deaths approach are various, and
statistics show coneluslvey that more persons die
from diseases OF the Throat and Lungs than any
other. III Is probable that everyone, without ex.
cepuon, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop, at
nrst slowly and is shown by slight tickling SEN
satlon 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 dangerous and if allowed to pro-
ceed will, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing a cold to 90
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. AS soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils. oh
tain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief. noyS-d1v-cT

The State Fair.

George E. Bracket of Belfast, one of the
trustees OF the State Agricultural Society
was in the city yesterday, on his way home
after closing up his department at Lewiston
Monday. He reports one of, if not the most
successful exhibition ever held by the socie-
ty, in every particular. 1t was success,
both financially and as an exhibit of Names
agriculture in every department.
The attendance Thursday was probably
the largest ever known at a State fair in
Maine, the receipts, ETC., showing crowd of
at least $1,000 people on the park in the af-
ternoon. and notwithstanding the storm of
Wednesday the receipts were very satisfac-
tory and will figure up about $4,000. The
expenses CT the year, including all premi-
ums, bills, interest money, etc., will be over
$4,000, and the indications are there will be
some $4,000 to go towards paying the debt of
the society. A few seasons like the present
Will clear the membranes and leave the
society clear of debt. and $4,000 worth of
property in its park and appurtenances.
All the premiums awarded will be paid in
full by the treasurer within sixty days, and
sent by mail without any notice or call for
them. The trustees will be in session at
Lewiston, Monday, Oct. 10th. for the pur-
pose of closing up the accounts and business
OF the fair, and all persons having bills
against the society are requested to present
them then, when they will be paid, if APP
proved.
All the officers of the society were reflect
ed, except in the third district. where A. F.
Gerald of Fairfield was elected He will
not enter upon his duties on the board until
1889, when he will probably be assigned to
the horse department.
In answer to the question as to date of the
fair for 1889. Mr.. Bracket stated that it
would not probably be definitely fixed until
the first meeting of the full board of trustees
next January, but the indications all point
to its being fixed for the second week in
September.
