Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis.
ease. Catarrh is a blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, and acts d.
rectly on the blood and m ucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not quaok medicine. It We s
prescribed by one of the best
physiciana in this country for
years and is regular prescrip.
ton. It is composed of the best
tonics known, com bined with the
best blood purifiers, acting d.
rectly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the
two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send for testimonials

A MUD SICK DOCTOR.

Physicians Suggestion to Improve
an Ohio .CouEty's Roads.
In Morrow county, o., we are very
poorsg provided with pike roads, says
DR.. d. 3. Virtue Of Iberia, o., IN the
Auto Advocate and Country Roads.
Outside of the incorporated villages
there are perhaps ten or twelve miles
of pike and some Indifferent gravel
roads Mostly the roads are earth
roads, which in many months are
equivalent to mortar beds. However,
the number Of people who advocate
good roads is steadily increasing, so
that the enemies of good roads now
say, Something Of the kind will be
done sooner or later" They hope that
1t will be later on account of an in
sarily follow. My idea of what should
be done here (Morrow county, is some
thing as follows:
In this toWnship-in fact, all over
this county-there is an abundance Of
sandstone OF the kind commonly spo-
ken of as Berea grit; also a good supply
of fair quality gravel. Now, if the
roads were we'll graded and ditched
with good large culverts where cul-
verts are needed and an earth track
constructed at one side and a broken
stone and gravel track at the other, we
would have good roads comparatively
cheap. OF course this sandstone and
gravel road should be well rolled as it
is laid down and when finished only
slightly higher than the earth track.
I am well acquainted with the lime
stone pike roads built in recent years
In two adjoining counties-Marion and
CrawfOrd-and know that most Of
them are built too high and too thin
and are not rolled Being loose, they
rut Immediately. Being high, it is not
easy to drive from one track to an
other, and they spread easily. And be-
ing thin l fear they will not stand
service we'll
AS to cost. believe good sandstone
and gravel roads can be built in this
should be borne by the adjoining prop
erty owners. the township, the county
and the state, each paying % per cent
Of cost, and then maintained by the
township AS to the United States gov
eminent paying Il part, let the govern
ment pay one-half the cost of con-
structing good roads of double width
(about twenty feet between points of
military importance.
In conclusion, as a mud sick country
doctor, should rejoice to see the roads
improved by amy old plan"
