advancement, and so little interested
in the welfare Of theiI prosperity ,as to
allow to go by default the opportunity
of inducing Congress TO appropriate
one hundred thousand dollars towards
improving the mouth of our river {?
Both Senator Higgins and Senator
Gray will assist us in obtaining the
one hundred thousand dollars for i'm
proving the mouth of our river, if we
will put our claim 10 shape to present
to Congress. Our representative will
do his share, also; and If the next

those who would naturally receive the
benefit of such improvement. If this
contemplated improvement is not
worth the asking, it is not worth the

The formula of the remedy was obtained

he had never known it to fail to cure any
case of serofula, blood faint, or contagious

since made known to the world the virtues
of Swih's Specific, and today it is sold in
every city townand country store all over
