Mr.. William F. Alexander, employed
as stenographer and typewriter in the
office OF Col. Forest W. Brown, met with
a serious accident Thursday afternoon
He had been repairing his bicycle, and
had mounted the same to see if it was
properly adjusted, when he lost his bal
ance, his left arm breaking and pushing
through the glass of bookcase. His
wrist was terribly cut and the flesh LAGER
ated to the bone and torn loose for at
least three inches, exposing the bone.
The arteries and tendons were severed
and he bled profusely. He ran from the
office across the street to Lights drug
store, where his arm was bound to stor
the flow of blood, and Drs. VIM. Neil
and c. T. Richardson dressed the wound
after administering chloroforn- He was
removed to his home on a cot For 6
short time his life was in danger from
loss of blood, but he has since been slowly
improving.

The everyday use of West Washington
street as the theatre of reckless horse and
bicycle riding is exceedingly dangerous
for children in that section, and little
special police supervision of that locali-
ty, with few arrests for brooches of the
law in this regard might have salutary
effect in preventing serious results. A
number of citizens have commented upon
this state of affairs, and we call our worthy
Mayors attention thereto, feeling assured
that he will take active steps toward
remedying the evil.

Relation of Catarrh 10 Con, p,ion

Relation Of Catarrh TO Con,un ptfon
When catarrh has existed in the nose,
head and upper parts OF the throat for
any length OF time, the patient living IN
a district where people are subject to
catarrhal affections, and the disease has
been left uncured, the catarrh almost in
varibly extends from the windplpe and
thence into the bronchial tubes. These
tubes convey the air into the different
parts OF the lungs. The pain which ac-
companies this condition is OF a dull
character, felt in the chest behind the
breast-b bone. or else it is present under
the shoulder blade. The cough that oc-
ours at this time is dry, comes at vary
ing intervals, is hacking in character
and is usually most troublesome IN the
morning upon arising or on going to bed
at night. This peculiar character oil
cough is often the first evidence that
catharral disease is extending into the
lupgs. About this time you will have
shortness OF breath and palpitation oil
the heart which always goes with con-
sumption. You should then immediate
" call on DIR. S. CLAY TODD and he
will give y ,u relief. Many go prepared
to stay a week in Calumet and re-
ceiye DR.. Todd's personal attention with
the result of being restored to health.
