Perhaps many people i'll this county are not aware of the fact that, according to the New York Health Bulletin. the purest ar ticle of beer and porter ever pro- duced is made in Ramsey canyon, in the Huachucas, by Andrea Jaerger. This old gentleman manufactures this commodity on a small scale, and refuses to wholesale, though constantly solicited to do so, and he has been offered all kinds of money for his secret.-Republican

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea after Ten Years of Suffering

"l wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's COlic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy" says Mrs. Hattie Burge, of Mar tinsvilJe, Va. ''I suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried var ious medicines without obtain ing any permanent relief. Last summer one of my children was taken with cholera morbus, and Iprocured a bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire relief. l then de- cided to try the medicine myself, and did not use all of one bottle before l was well and l have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much ill favor of that won- derful medicine" This remedy is for sale by. F. J. Wattron.
