NUISANCE THAT SHOULD
BE ABATED.

The pavement belonging to the
city, from the corner of Mapping
and st. Clair to the bridge is Il
horrible condition. 1t is in hills
and hollows, so that, when Il
heavy rain falls there are IL score
of puddles of water that are
nuisances, especially to ladies
passing that way. One, in parti-
cular, is about five or SIX feet
wide and nearly the same in
length, which requires one, in
order To avoid it, to walk clear
out onto the brick carriage way.
r Is was fully illustrated on
Monday morning, while the heavy
rain was falling.
We would respectfully call the
attention of the city authorities
to this, and suggest that it be
remedied before the hard winter
weather comes on.
Later-The big pnddle has been
remedied, but the little ones
remain.

They Stand Alone.

Standing out in bold relief. all alone,
and as a conspicuous example OF open,
frank and honest dealing with the sick
and afflicted, are DIR. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription for weak. Over-worked. de-
bilitated, nervous, rum down." pain
Medical Discovery, the famous remedy
for weak stomach. indigestion. or dys-
pepsia, torpid liver. or biliousnesS, all
catarrhal affections whether of the
stomach, bowels, kidneys. bladder, nasal
passages. throat bronchia. or other mu-
cous passages, also as an effective remedy
for all diseases arising from thin, watery
or impure blood, as ScrOfulouS and SKIN
affections.
Each bottle Of the above. medicines
bears upon its wrapper badge of hon
esty in the full list of ingredients com
posing it-printed in plain English.
This frank and open publicity places
these medicines IN class all by them
SelUes. and is the best guaranty of their
merits. They cannot be classed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither
being Of knOiCn composition.
DIR. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all the ingredients of his medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writers as cures
for the diseases for which these medi-
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DR.. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value Of his medicines for Ger.
tain easily recognized diseases.
A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter
into DIR. Pierce's medicines, they being
wholly compounded OF glyceric extracts
of the roots of native, American forest
plants. These are best and safest for
the cure of most lingering, chronic dis.
eases. DR.. r. V. Pierce can be consulted
FREE, by addressing him at Buffalo,
N. ", and all communications are re-
garded as sacredly confidential.
1t is as easy to be well as ill-and
much more comfortable. Constipation is
the cause OF many forms of illness. DIR.

ules. One little "Pellet is a gentle laxa-
tive, two mild cathartic. All dealers in

he has been growing watermelons

business: He declares this is the
largest single acre crop he ever saw,
though he does not claim it to be the
biggest one ever produced.
Think of it, eighty thousand pounds
Of melons to one acre Of dirt! That is
forty-four tons and about five car
loads -...,>

footed up about $4,000, though there
were some 700 of the melons that were
given away.

out of the corner of my left eye-my

"There is no love like the good old
