Magee's speech and that Of Councilman

On account OF the assertions of Mr..

pended properly, he moved that ths
secretary be instructed to forward %
Councilman Msges a copy Of their annual
report showing wherein and how they
had expended the money entrusted 10
their care. He would also suggest that
Mr.. Magee be informed that the city
auditor had aud tied their reports, which
bad also been passed upon by committee
OF Council, OF which he (Mr Mag was
a member.
He did so, he said because he always
wished to see men in Mr. Magees posi-
tion properly informed on matters Which
they undertook to discuss, and. as Mr..
Magee had betrayed ignorance on
matter which he was expected to under
stand, he thought 1t well to give him an
opportunity to improve his knowledge
Respecting the other assertions he did
not deem II necessary to discuss them.
except by saying, in answer to Council
man Mckenney, that he believes the

pointed to discriminate as to what por-

What is ScrofuIa

It is that impurty in the blood, which, aecumu-
lating in the glands OF the neck, produces un-
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
deveopes ulcers IN the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which Is the origin
Of plmples, cancerous growths, many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors."
Il Is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features Of both. Being the most ancient,
it the most general Of all diseases affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from t.
How can It be cured2 BY taking Hoods sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures It has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections Of the blood
Hoods sarsaparila Is unequalied, and some Of the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. II you
suffer- from scrofula In any OF its various forms,
be sure TO give Hoods sarsapariila a trial.
