1t was undoubtedly n bad case oil la

he took immediate steps TO bring about
a speedy cure. From the ADVERTISE
ment Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and the many good recommendations
included therein, we concluded to make
first trial Of the medicine. To say
that ii was satisfactory in It's results is
putting it very mildly, indeed II acted

eEwERs ABOUT READY.

The sewer contract is almost if not
quite ready to be turned over to the
city by the contractors for acceptance.
There has been some delay in COM
pleting the surfacing and restoring of
streets, on account of the breakage of
one of the steam rollers. The pipe
lines and brick work sewers are really
ready now to be turned over to the
city, and also the flush tanks. Only
some little street restoring is yet to be
done. Some changes in manholes on
Main avenue have also delayed the
on account of the lowering
of the grade by the city, after the first
grade had been given by the city en-
gineer.
