fessor ]. M Munyon and staff of lis ply sicians
When questioned as to his intentions Professor
Mnnyon said: Yes, it is true l have deter.
mined to introduce my remedies into all foreign
countries. The fact is / have mad so many
orders for my cures from abroad, not only from
tourists, but from people who have heard OF
these remedies through their friends on this side
of the water that am led to believe that will
meet the same generous patronage there for my
cures that has been experienced here Human
nature is about the same the world over. EYhen
person is sick he wants to get well III the
quickest and most economical way. This is the
age OF progress. The old-style doctoring is being
abandoned People haye discovered that they
don't require big doses of calomel and other
dangerous drugs to affect cure.
I" am glad 10 see," said Professor Munyon
"that physicians of different schools are becom.
ing more liberal and less bigoted in their ideas
and believe that in few years my system OF
doctoriDg will be generally adopted by all
schools OF medicine. The enormous sales of my
remedies last year. amounting to nearly ten mil
lion walls, show their popularity and curative
qualities. The system of preparing a separate
cure for each disease appeals TO the common
sense of all intelligent communities, and enables
people to doctor themselves successfully and cure
| themselves at the least possible expense.
Il shall give London the largest and best
equipped medical institution in the world.
shall take there duplicate OF all my improved
| medical appliances as well as a complete stock
of my remedies, and shall offer them to the pub
lie on the same generous terms that are afforded
our people at home.
st is my intention to make this establishment
in LONDON a resting place for all American
| tourists. where newspapers will be on file from
every State and country in the United States
and where full line of American publications
can always be found. also intend 10 have q
registry and news bureau for the convenience OF
Americans. OF course this service aud conven
| fence will be absolutely free, and l want al
Americans to feel perfectly at home, making use
| of this institution whenever they have an acne
or pain or desire any Information.
| Professor Munyon carries with him the best
wishes of his countrymen. We feel certainl thai
| he will receive warm welcome abroad and thai
his humane labors will be crowned with man:

The following bills we're paid:-

Mr.. Burkett, of the Ordinance Com
mittee, presented the Hendry's Court
paving and curbing ordinance, which after
being read was laid over under the rules.
Thu Bicycle ordinance, the law over
which the wheelmen were greatly sgitated
was then presented, and under suspension
of rules rushed to final passage.
An invitation was extended to any citi-
zen to be heard on the ordinance, but
bicycle men were quiet, and only one
citizen ventured to speak for pedestrians.
He said pedestrians should have a
little show on the side walk, but they
didn't have any under that ordinance.
Mr.. Best's vote was the only one against
the ordinance. He eaid that bicycles
monopolized the side walk to such an ex-
tent that it was unsafe for children to go
out. Grown people. generally, could keep
away from them.
Two petitions for poUl license were pre-
sented-one by Charles Bauer at 228 South
Broad street, to keep four tables, and one
by E. J. Reynolds to keep four tables in
the basement of Green's Block. Both
were referred to the Committee on Vice
and immortality.
A petition signed by all the business
people and residents on Broad street, ask
ing that water be furnished the Trolley
Company free, for the purpose of sprinkling
the streets, was presented. On motion of
Mr.. Andrews it was referred to the Street
committee, to confer with the Trolley
Company to ascertain if they will put on
sprinkler that will sprinkle the street, if
this request is granted.
Mr.. Andrews explained that simply
sprinkling the tracks is not sufficient.
On Mr.. Burkett's motion, the Street
committee was instructed to confer with
the Freeholders, as to putting lamps on the
bridge.

The way to correct this condition is to

arises from an inability to eat and digest
