TIE suburban DISTRICT
EAST OF THE CITY is SUFFERING
FROM WATER
FAMINE.
Residents at LeatherwOod. Echo
Point, Woodsdsle and Pleasant
Valley are Very Much Inconvien-
ed - Depiorable Condition of
wheeling Creek.

The suburban residents are suffering
from water famine. All the consum-
ers in Elm Grove and along the Ma
tional Road as far west from the town
as LeatherwOod are short of water sup
ply. This district is supplied by the
Elm Grove water works. 1t is owing
to the continual drouth that the pre-
vailing circumstance exists. The stage
OF water has become so low that the
stream is practically dry. Excepting
the holes along its course there is no
water at ALL
Friday night the supply became no
ticeably shot for the first time, and all
day yesterday the water barely trick
led out of the pipes when faucets were
turned on.
The water works at present is depend
ing upon its supply from three wells,
which can last but short time.
1t is the season for equinOXial rains and
the people who are Inconvenience are
hoping that the weather will not con-
tinue dry much longer. People at
Leatherwood, Echo Point and Pleasant
Valley are depending entirely upon pri-
vate wells and pumps.
One gentleman, who lives at Echo
Point, said yesterday afternoon, when
seen concerning the matter, that it was
the intention of a greater number to
have connections made with the city
water works, unless the trouble was
rectffied shortly.
There can be no relief from the situa-
ton until there is rain. The condition
of the creek is deplorable at all points
as far as the grove. The worst section
is from the mouth to a point just be-
yond Fulton. Chicago river is nothing
as compared TO it. All the refuse from
the slaughter houses and fertilizing
plants in Fulton is run directly into the
stream, and as it now stands the water
is in a worse condition than if it were
stagnant. The situation along the
eastern and centre portions of the city
are most conducive to sickness.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
4 simple Remedy which VIII Inter
est Catarrh Sufferers.

In its earlier stages eatarrh is
more of a nuisance than a menace
10 the general health, but sooner or
later, the disease extends to the
throat, bronchial tubes and even to
the stomach and intestlnes.
Catarrh is essentially a disease
of the mucous membrane, the To-
cal symptoms being a profuse dis
charge of mucous, stoppage of the
nostrils, irritation in throat. caus-
ing coughing, sneezing, gagging
and frequent clearings OF the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by local
douches, snuffs, salves. ETC., often
gives temporary relief, but any
thing like a cure can only be OBJ
tanned by treatment which re-
moves the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance of the
inflammation from the mucous sur
faces.
A new remedy which meets these
requirements and which SO far has
been remarkably successful in cur
ing catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood
and mucous membranes only.
They can hardly be called a Sc
cret patent medicine as they are
composed of such valuable remedies
as Sanglnnaria, HydTastin, Euca-
lyptol and similar cleansing anti
seprics, which cure by eliminating
from the blood and mucous sur
face the catarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
large, pleasant tasting lozenges
taken internally, allowing them TO
dissolve slowly in the mouth, in
this way they reach the throat, fau-
ces and the entire alimeRsary ca
nal.
If desired, they may also be dis.
solved in water and used as
douche, in addition TO the internal
use, but it is not at all necessary
to use a douche; a few of them
dissolved in the mouth daily viii
be sufficient. However, when there
IS much stoppage of the nose, a
douche made from these tablets
will give immediate relief, but the
regular daily use internally OF these
tablets will cure the whole catarrn-
al trouble without resortlng to the
Inconvenience of douche.
DR. Bement states that the in
ternal treatment for catarrh is rap
idly taking the place of the old
plan of douching. and local appli-
cation and further says that prob
ably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
as no secret is made of their COM
position and all the really efficient
remedies for eatarrh are contained
in this tablet"
Druggists sell Stnart's Catarrh
Tablets at fifty cents for full sized
packages. Ask your druggist and
if he is honest he will tell you there
is no safer, more palatable, more
efficient and convenient remedy ON
the market.

Prevention Of Catarrh.

In lecture delivered by DR.. Samuel
Gee, the following closing remarks were
made:
We have found 1t to be highly prob
able that most catarrhs are due to a
specific infection, and they often depend
upon contagion spreading from man to
man. This doctrine has very important
bearings upon medical practice. It leads
us to believe that the means by which
we may prevent catarrh may be found
in ventilation and cleanliness, II, indeed
ventilation be not kind Of cleanliness
Experience confirms this belief.
When epidemic catarrh prevails, where
do we find most Of our patients? In
those houses which are obviously the
worst ventilated, even though they be
the spacious houses of the rich.
In matters of domestic sanitation
people have fixed their attention too ex-
clusively upon the drainage and the
water supply; light and air are not
reckoned.
The we'll Of the staircase ought, in
every house, to be reservoir of pure
air, and to have an Independent supply
from without.
