park commissioners appointed by the city,
Messrs. George A. Quimby and j. F. Will

the commission was unable to attend.
There was general agreement that first of
all the park should be enclosed to keep out
stray cattle, and Mr.. Wilson said that a
fence of cedar posts and wire would cost
about $500. He suggested building road
straight to the shore. Some thought that
before building road or setting out trees

that it would be advisable to dig we'll.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Brlght's Disease.
It Is Easily Durable in the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the frst appeGrGNee of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel Irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- tion of strong men and women, yet they have a serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculable value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in bottle of Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that defed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu. merable.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prickly Ash Ditters with the
 large figure in red on the front label.
