Resumption of Work on Big Sewer

The contractors for the laying of the
sewer pipe in the bed of the river at the
outlet of the big trunk sewer In process of
construction from this city to Its outlet on
the river near the naval powder magazine
are making a hard effort to complete the
work this winter Last week when the ice
formed all work had to be abandoned, and
it looked as If the completion of the sewer
outlet would have to be deferred until in
the spring, but the warmer weather came,
the ice broke up and preparations were
made to resume work at once.
A section of the big pipe was brought
down from the storage yard on the Eastern
branch, and after being delayed by the tug
towing it running ashore in the fog, was de-
livered at the site of the sewer outlet yes
terday. 1t was lowered in place, and today
the divers have been employed in anchoring
it in place and connecting it with the sec
tons already laid. sA~
The work at the sewer outlet is to be
pushed, and only about a hundred feet
of pipe remain to be put down, there are
excellent chances that this portion of the
sewer work will be completed this winter.

So many false formulas and
malicious statements concerning
his medicines had been published
through the connivance of jealous
competitors and disgruntled doc
tors that DR.. Pierce determined to
completely disarm his assailants by
full and frank statement of their
exact composition, verifying the
same under oath as complete and
correct. This he has done and to
the complete discontinue of those
who had assailed his good name as
we'll as the well-earned reputation
of his world famed medicines.
Not only does the wrapper OF
every bottle of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the famous
medicine for weak stomach, torpid
liver or biliousness and all catarrhal
diseases, wherever located, have
printed upon it, IN PLAIN ENG

from numerous standard medical
works. of all the different schools
of practice, containing very numer-
Gus extracts from the writings of

POSSIBLE TERMS, each and
every ingredient contained in DR..
Pierce's medicines. One of these
little books will be mailed free to
any one sending address on postal
card or by letter to DR.. R. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y, and requesting the
same. From this booklet it will be
learned that DR.. Pierce's medicines
contain no alcohol, narcotics, min
eral agents or other poisonous or
injurious agents, and that they are
made from native, medicinal roots
of great value; also that some of
the most valuable ingredients con-
tanned in DR.. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription for weak, nervous, over
worked, rundown" nervous and
debilitated women were employed
long years ago by the Indians for
similar ailments affecting their
squaws. In fact, one of the most val
liable medicinal plants entering
into the composition of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription was known to
the Indians as "Squaw Weed" Our
knowledge of the uses of not a few
of our most valuable native medic
inal plants was gained from the In

AS made up by improved and
exact processes, and with the use
