No trouble Is more common or more

they are not cured by nerve medicine

the mischief is lost sight or the S'oih-
aeh is the organ TO be looked aiter.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not nave
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach 90 much
as In nearly every other organ, III some
cases the heart palpitates ana Is rresu-

A New Business Block TO Be Erect

Corner LOafer Nuisance - GrOcers' and
Butchers Parade.

What The News intimated and urged
the construction OF new business blocks.
Johnston takes the lead in the movement
and Mr.. Michael Braney Is the enterpris-
ing builder. He has concluded to erect
largo block at the corner OF Plainfeld and
Latham streets, the first floor TO be devoted
to business purposes; the three floors
above as tenements. A fireYa short time
ago destroyed the buildings which were
then there. and this necessitated some
changes, anu Mr.. Braney determined that
as rebuilding was necessary he would
erect one which would be large and COM
Inodious, as well as prove worthy
improvement TO the locality.
Among the chaps who stand on a few of
the principal corners during the evening
are quite number who have no great re-
gard for politeness and who rather lean
toward "unbecoming conduct. Females
are not permitted To pass without having
to hear the insinuating and often vulgar
remarks which come from the lips Of
these persons. There is no loaflng on
this corner, " is the oft repeated remark of
the officers In the locality. and the 'move
on" business terminates at tho next cor
ner, where the nuisance again takes halt
in order TO continue In their obnoxious
hillingsgate. This state Of affairs must
not continue, and the officers are bound
10 clear the corners and keep them clear
of all such ungentlemanly characters
