with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.

disease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is regular prescription. 1t

combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

pears to do its work satisfactorily.

spread along Washington street Will
liam Ward, of Washington street, is en-
gineer, and Roger McNelis has been ap-
pointed watchman.

on Monday evening next before the
council. The sentiment of the tax
payers is almost unaniamous against
buying the crusher
