court of common council for 1897, we
can safely assume, is as capable as
any legislative body to handle the ques-

Give them your full confidence and
support. They would like to make our
government SO clean, so efficient, that
all other cities would study it as d
model and that good people would come
from near and far to make our city
their home and share our blessings
with us. The nearer We come to all
working together, for good, the more
likely We will be to get good results in
a reasonable time. If some prefer to
hang back to croak and kick and criti-
else, progress will be trifie impeded,
but not much; we need not stop our
march to say we are sorry they are so
unfortunately constituted.
And now, gentlemen. permit ME to
thank you for your very kind attention

prosperous new year.

WARMING.

We wish to caution all users of Simmons
Liver Regulator on subject of the deepest
interest and Importance to their health
perhaps their lives. The sole proprietors
and makers of Simmons Liver Regulator
learn that customers are often deceived by
buying and taking some medicine of a
similar appearance or taste, believing it to
be Simmons Liver Regulator We warn
you that unless the word Regulator is on
the package or bottle, that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator. No one else makes, OF
ever has made Simmons Liver Regulator, or
anything called Simmons Liver Regulator,
but J. II. Zellin & Co., and no medicine made
by anyone else is the same. We alone can
put it up, and we cannot be responsible, if
other medicines represented as the same do
not help you as you are led to expect they
will. Bear this fact well in mind, ifyou have
been in the habit of using medicine which
you supposed to be Simmons Liver Regula-
tor, because the name was somewhat like
1t, and the package did not have the word
Regulator on it, you have been imposed
upon and have not been taking Simmons
Liver Regulator at all. The Regulator has
been favorably known for many years, and
all who use it know how necessary it is for
Fever and Ague, Bilious Fever, Constips-
ton, Headache, Dyspepsia, and all disorders
arising from Diseased Liver.
We ask you to look for yourselves, and
see that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
you can readily distinguish by the Red 2
on wrapper, and by our name, is the only
medicine called Simmons Liver Regulator.
