erv" is not so good for acute
coughs arising from sudden colds,
nor must it be expected to cure
consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that
but for all the obstinate hang
on or chronic coughs. which, if
neglected or badly treated, lead
up to consumption. 1T Is THE
BEST MEDICINE THAT CAN
BE TAKEN.
IT'S AN INSULT TO YOUR
INTELLIGENCE for dealer to
endeavor to palm off upon you
some nostrum OF unknown COM
position in place of DIR. Pierces
world-famed medicines which are
OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.
Most dealers recommend Doctor
Pierces medicines because they
know what they are made OF and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that a
medicine for like purposes can be
made of. The same is true of
leading physicians who do not
hesitate TO recommend them,
since they know exactly what
they contain and that their in
gradients are the very best known
to medical science for the cure of
the several diseases for which
these medicines are recommended.
WITH TRICKY DEALERS
IT IS DIFFERENT.
Something else that pays them
little greater profit will be
urged upon you as jtst as good"
or even better. You can hardly
afford to accept a substitute of
unknown composition and with
out any particular record of cures
in place of Doctor Pierces medi-
cines which are OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION and have
record of forty years OF cures be-
hind them. You know what you
want and it is the dealers bust
ness to supply that want. Insist

AS soon as the big dredge Gen. Mackenzie
completes work in the Virginia channel
to Geo getown she will take up the work
on the Eastern branch and will deepen
the channel of that waterway to twenty
two feet to the navy yard. and will also
remove a number of sharp bends in the

the two new Potomac bridges. and will
this week begin the deepening of the
channel at that point. Several shoal
