The Pain
Family

You know them; they are
numerous, and make their
presence felt everywhere. The
names of the family are Head
ache, Toothache, Earache,
Backache, Stomach ache, Neu-
ralgia, etc. They are sentinels
that warn you of any derange-
ment of your system. When
the brain nerves become ex-
hausted or irritated, Headache
makes you miserable; if the
stomach nerves are weak, in
digestion results, and you
double up with pain, and if the
more prominent nerves are af-
fected, Neuralgia simply makes
life unendurable. The way to
stop pain is to soothe and
strengthen the nerves. DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills do this.
The whole Pain family yield to
their influence. Harmless if
taken as directed.
Il find Dr.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills an
excellent remedy for overcoming head
ache. neuralgia and distressing pains
OF al sorts. I have used them for the
past seven years in this capacity with

been placed on a full working basis
as yet. The city has contracted for
10 lights. At present only "a lights
are placed. These are in places
where, before incorporation, lights
were maintained at private expense.
The reason why the full lighting con-
tract has not been installed, is the in
ability OF the company to get the
needed material. Poles we're ordered
four months ago, and have not ar
rived yet. and no telling when they
