II have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral
in my family for thirty years and have
always found it the best remedy for
Group, to which complaint my children
have been subject. Capt. U. Carley,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
"From an experience of over thirty
years in the sale of proprietary medi-
cines, I feel justified in recommending
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. One OF the
best recommendations of the Pectoral is
the enduring quality of its popularity, it
being more salable now than 1t was
twenty-five years ago, when its great
success was considered marvellous. "
r. S. Drake, M. D., Beliot, Kans.
"My little sister, four years OF age,
was so ill from bronchitis that we had
almost given up hope of her recovery.
Our family physician, a skilful man and
OF large experience, pronounced 1t use
less to give her any more medicine
saying that he had done all it was pos
sible to do, and we must prepare for the
worst. As last resort, we determined
to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and can
truly say, with the most happy results.
After taking few doses she seemed to
breathe easier, and, within a week, was
out of danger. We continued giving the
Pectoral until satisfied she was entirely
we'll. This has given me unbounded faith
in the preparation, and recommend 1t
confidently to my customers. ~. y.

TO FRIENDS OF IMPROVEMENT

One vote mo" equals two votes "Yes'
to-day. 1t is therefore necessary that you
who favor the street Improvement scheme
shall go to the polls and stay there all da,
long. Meet voters, find how they stand
If they are against the Improvement
scheme, ask them why, and correct their
errors of misapprehension, for no man to
day who clearly understands what he is
about will vote 'No."
Do not get together in knots and talk
with each other. The believers do not
need to be labored with. Every man owes
something to the town he lives in. You
owe to Sacramento one days hard, tireless
work, and you should put it in at the polls
to-day. If by your neglect the improve.
ment scheme is beaten, you will have cause
for ceaseless selfreproach, and the city for
endless shame.
The whole future of Sacramento NAV
depend upon the verdict of this day at the
polls. Let the whole people see that you
have interest enough in the town to stand
its friend to-day and all day. Be not mis-
led by assurances that the proposition will
carry. We assure you that it is in danger
from open foes, secret enemies, misappre-
hension, misinfcrmation, and all manner
of self-interest on the part of those who
wish to continue to live off of our present
foolish system of remaking our streets
every year
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-07-09
TO OPPONENTS.


The opponents of street improvement
say, 1--WE have paid for intersection work,
now you want to tax us for the streets of
others-let them do as we did"
This is sophistical. 1t was not the fault
of the city that you paid for intersection
work. 1t is not intended to tax you for
new street work, nor will you be so taxed.
Why should You now object to that
which will enhance your values? Why
oppose doing that which will not cost you
as much as you now pay for patching and
smoothing each year the streets of others
who will not or cannot improve them?
You will not save solitary cent if the
proposition of to-day is defeated. But if it
carries, your taxation for general street
work will be Just as much less as is the
cost of maintaining graveled street less
than the cost of rounding up and regrad-
ing dirt street annually.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-07-09
REDUCTION OF TAXATION.

Let it not be forgotten to-day that the
affirmative of the Improvement bond ques-
ton means an absolute reduction of taxa
ton. This is as easily demonstrable as
that two and two make four. The cost of
maintaining dirt streets that have to be
made over each year is in excess OF the
aggregate of interest upon the money the
city proposes to contribute to property
owners to make such streets permanent,
and in excess in addition of the annual
reserve required under the law to pay the
principal of the bonds that may be issued.
To simplify. Street repairs in 1890
under the old system cost the taxpayers
$4,000. Suppose all the streets had been
improved and that we had expended
100000 to secure that result; that on
that sum we paid $1,000 interest and one
twentieth of the principal, $1,000 Admit
that there would still be necessary ex-
penditure for street repairs OF $1,000.
