measure should be taken to prevent
the wholesale destruction of fish in

fishing with nets of all kinds. Fish

complaint concerning it.

Sight Is Priceless.

Mr.. David Norton, of st. Paul,
Mimi, states that his son was entire
ly blind and had been kept in dark
room an entire year and treated by
the best physicians of the city to no
purpose, and all had given him up,
saying he would never be any better,
when they began using what has
proven to be the finest remedy in the
world for the cure Of Inflammation,
namely-Dr. Hale's Household Oint-
ment. It was applied directly to the
boys eyes, which soon began to i'm
prove, and to-day his sight is entirely
restored, and he is enjoying perfect
health, owing to the use of the most
wonderful remedy in the world-Dr.

A Natural Con CluSiOn.

1t is natural that those who have
been deceived by the various nos

to the public should demand more
substantial testimonial than the SIM

The Good Old Times.

"Then times were good,
Merchants cared not a rush
For any other fare,
Than Johnny cake and mush."
But now times have changed, and
simple fare Of the forefathers is done
away with Patent -four, and high
seasoned food, and strong drinks,
have taken it's place, and, as a result,
dyspepsia, impure blood, and dseas-
es of the stomach, liver and lungs are
numerous. This great changc has
led one of the most skillful physicians
of the age to study out a remedy for
these modern diseases, which he has
named his "Golden Medical Discov-
cry" DR.. Pierce in this remedy has
found a cure for Dyspepsia. Bronchi-
tbs, Asthma, Consumption, in it's early
stages and oliver Complaints"

OF the many sources of atmospheric
impurity we mention four.
First-NOrmal breathing. The air
which we inhale TO oXygenate the blood
is exhaled loaded with carbonic oxide.
No harm results from this where there
is a free circulation OF air. But Il Is
far otherwise in closed rooms and Ill
ventilated places Of public gathering.
In such places the oxygen is rapidly ex-
hausted and its place Is filled with
poxious carbonic oxide.
