When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have cold
should he to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain's Cough remedies. This
remedy liquefes the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion from the air cells of
the lungs, produces free expectoration,
and opens the secretions. A complete
cure soon follows. This remedy will
cure severe cold in less time than any
other treatment and it leaves the system
in natural and healthy condition. 1t
counteracts any tendency toward pneu-
mouia. For sale by Wilson Drug Co.

We apologize to our readers for

the circumstances that were the
cause, and we assure our patrons
that we regret these delays very
much, for we had ESQ we thought)
taken every precaution to prevent
it, These delays would not have
been noticed to the same extent
in most places as it is here, owing
to the mail down the valley being
tri-weekly and the further fact that
our publication day is one of these

catch the mail our papers lay over

We have now made arrange

occur in future, for if our ready

we now have supply Of blank

get out the paper and avoid being
