WARDS FOR LEHIGHToN.

The Preliminary Work of Dividing the
Town Commenced.
At the session of court last week
Messrs. Eli S. Heintzleman, of East
Penn; John Craig, of Lehigh Gap, and
Levi Horn, of Franklin, were appoint
ed viewers in the Lehighton ward
question, to report at the April term
Of court aud that means that the fall
election Of 1892 will be by wards.
There is much agitation as to where
the division will be made in the ap.
pointment and as to how many wards
will be recommended by the viewers
OF course it is for them in a measure
to decide this question but it strikes
us very fOrcibly that the town should
have not less than three wards. W,
have over 700 voters, divided by then
would give each ward 233 and frac
tion over, but then the question nat
urally arises from and where would b,
the dividing points, this Of course car
best be determined following an en-
umeration which will be made by coun
ell at a very early date.

was chiefly through his instrument

DYSPEPSIA

Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction Distress after eating, sick head
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, etc, are caused by this very common and
increasing disease. Hoods saTsaparilla tones the
stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases Of dys.
pepsia. Read the following:
"I have been troubled with dyspepsia. 1 had
but little appetite, and what did eat distressed
me, or did me little good, In an hour after eating
would experience faintness or tired, all-gone
feeling, as though I had not eaten anything
Hoods Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount
Of good, It gave me an appetite, and my food
reished and satisfied the craving had previously
experienced. It relieved me Of that faint, tired,
all-gone feeling; Ihaye felt so much better siAce
l took Hoods sarsaparilla, that am happy to
recommend it." G. A. PAGE, Watertown, Mass.
