SKILL OF DOCTORS TESTED.
Fifteen Years Of Suffering.

When the stomach begins to fail in
Us duties. other organs speedily become
affected in sympathy. and life is simply a
burden almost unbearable. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are SO common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example of the suffcrings
of the victim of indigestion is furnished
in the case Of John G. Pritchard. He went
on for fifteen years, from bad to worse.
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
got WE'LL however, and thus relates his
experience:
For fifteen years was great sufferer
from indigestion in its worst forms. I
tested the skill of many doctors, but grew
worse and worse, until I became so weak
could not walk fifty yards without having
to sit down and rest. My stomach. liver.
and heart became affected. and thought l
would surely die. l tried DR.. J. c. Ayers
Pills and they helped me right away. l

Mr.. Walter C. Allen, the District cleo
trical engineer, to whom the Commission
ers referred a communication from the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens AS
sociation relative to more fire alarm boxes
in that locality, and recommending a daily
inspection of the boxes. has made the fol-
lowing report in the matter:
Two additional fire alarm boxes for
lexington are proposed for next year in
the list now being prepared and will be
placed if the appropriation asked for is
made. The inability of the officer to send
in an alarm from box 61S the night of
December was due to the crossing of the
two signal wires with the telephone wires
on the same poles. which cut the box out
of circuit temporarily. The high winds of
that night. which gave so much trouble in
other eastern cities, blew the wires to-
gether an accident which is liable to hap
pen as long as wires remain overhead.

the association is entirely impracticable
