DR.. S. S. Troy Stricken.

DR.. H. w. Troy, district superintend-
ent of the Decorah district of Upper
Iowa Conference of the Methodist Epis- :
copal church, had stroke of paralysis
on Monday. Jan. 25th, and is in seri-
GUS condition.
At the time of the stroke he was on
the road between Jackson junction and
Waucoma, and the driver of the team
thought, from Mr.. Troy's actions that
he was asleep, but on reaching Wauco-
ma it was found that he was partially
paralyzed. The right side was affected
and he was unable to speak.
Rev. ]. C. Magee went to WAGONS
yesterday, and last night stated that
Mr.. Troy is tending toward better
condition. His right limb and arm are
helpless and the left side of his head is
affected. He is still unable to speak.
1t is hoped to move him to Fayette to-
morrow. -Fayette Postal Card.
Rev. Gammons informs US that he
was moved to his home last Monday,
but that he is still in a very serious
condition.

Shake in a Bottle.

Now is the time when the doctor
gets busy, and the patent medicine
manufacturers reap the harvest, un-
less great care is taken to dress warm
ly and keep the feet dry. This is the
advice of an old eminent authority,
who says that Rheumatism and Kidney
trouble weather is here, and also tells
what to do in case of attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsapariilla. Mix by shaking in a
bottle and take teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime.
Just try this simple home mix
ture at the first sign of Rheumatism
or if your back aches or you feel that
the kidneys are not acting just right.
This is said to be a splendid kidney
regulator, and almost certain remedy
for all forms of Rheumatism, which is
caused by uric acid in the blood which
the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one
can easily prepare this at home and at
small cost.
Druggists in this town and vicinity
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply those in
gradients, or, if our readers prefer,
they will compound the mixture for
them.

Boosting the Hospital Project.

The Booster Club held a meeting in

the organization by electing D. A.
Lyons vice-president and the following
persons board of directors: Theo.
Lusson, B. P. Norton, H. d. Petersen,
C. w. Reed, A. l.. Peterson.
The question of new hospital was
discussed and it was agreed that the
proposition of the Sisters of Mercy of
Dubuque be accepted and the work of
raising funds begin at once. The
proposition, which was submitted by
d. A. Lyons, is the same one that was
published in The P. D. several months
ago, and is substantially as follows:
DIR. Kessel agrees to turn over to the
Sisters the property known as the
Kessel hospital, including eleven acres
of ground, and they will erect brick
building to cost S25,000 provided the
people of Cresco contribute 5000.
Robert Thomson said the proposition
looked good to him and he offered to
head subscription list with 81 200.
The persons who have the matter in
charge are confident that the required
amount can be raised and the new hos
pital is practically assured.
The paving proposition wes also dis
cussed

Diapepsin after eating.

IMPORTANT LOCAL BUSINESS MOVE
The w. F. Milz Drug Co. Arranges to
Act as Local Distributor for One of
the Largest Business Firms in the
Country-An Interesting Story

The w. F. Miz Drug Co. has, with
it's usual enterprise, demonstrated it's
ability to keep abreast of the times,
by allying itself with one of the
largest manufacturing firms of house.
hold remedies and preparations that is
in existence. These preparations are
manufactured by the New York &
London Drug Co. with headquarters
and laboratory in New York City
where are manufactured the forty
different remedies put out by the COM
pany, every one of which is carried in
stock by the Milz Drug Co.
The tremendous output of this com
pany enables it to purchase drugs,
herbs and other necessary material in
very large quantities, and as the prep
arations of the company are shipped
direct to the retail druggists who are
connected with the enterprise, their
absolute freshness is assured 1t is
impossible for their quality to deterior-
ate, there are no middlemen's or
jobbers' profits to be added to their
cost, and the public can obtain these
products at actual cost of manufacture,
plus a single retail profit.
One noticeable feature of this busi-
ness, and a very cOmmend..ble one, is
that no one remedy manufactured by
this company is a "cure all" Each
one OF the different remedies is a
known and dependable specific for a
particular ailment The confidence of
the druggists interested in this enter
prise is unquestionably demonstrated
by this guarantee which is printed on
every package: 'This preparation is
guaranteed to give satisfaction. If it
does not, come back and get your
money-it belongs to you and we want
you to have it.
This is certainly an innovation that
must appeal to the people of Cresco
1t insures safety and satisfaction
because our own local druggist, Mr..
w. F. Milz, who is so we'll known and
highly respected for his integrity, is
connected with this enterprise and is
stalking his own personal reputation on
the quality of these remedies, and the
very frankness with which he takes
the people of Cresco into his confidence
insures an unprecedented success for
these remedies.
Those who have previously refused
to buy proprietary medicines because
there was no way of ascertaining their
ingredients, can now purchase Nyal's
Remedies. the formulas of which they
can have for the asking.
THE NYAL REMEDIES HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN AN OPEN LINE OF FORMULAS.
When we make the claim that the
Nyal Family Remedies is line OF
honest formulas we are telling you f;
fact that has always been true of them
All the druggists who have handled
them know this fact
We did not suddenly, at the time O.

see that its cleaned with mill that

can't pronounce, some can't spell it,
others are inquisitive and want to know
what such name will lead to ulti-

THE ONE DRINK TOO MUCH.

The captain of the bateship Georgia, the cruise
around the world, has been court martaled for beng
drunk at reception shore at Gibraltar.
1t raises question to what naval officer is expected
to do at reception.
Temperance has its undenabe virtues The who
gets drunk duty particularly if his duty be respon
sibe that of commanding battleship cannot be too
severely censured or too strictly punished
But the taking of drink two too much at recep-
ton shore is entirely different
From time beyond reckoning receptions to army and
navy officers have been attended by heavy drinking. 1t
world wide CUSTOM and the officer who would decline
drink would very likely be regarded churl.
Many naval men, doubt, dispeased with the Gus
TOM If often places them under tremendous strain. They
are expected to drink cOpiousy and their ability to
withstand the effects depends the honor of the
United States government 1t is poor test perhaps, but
it prevails.
If the captain of the Georgia drank much he is only
victim of established custom, which is countenanced
by all naval men the world The remedy will
be found in publicly disgracing otherwise furnishing
the man. 1t lies only in abolishing the custom court
martial trying for drinking at reception, and
made up of men who have themselves repeatedly drank
at receptions, very much of farce The navy depart
ment may take it seriously, but the public cannot.
The accused captain declares that he not intoxi-
that defense He ought to have up the plea that if he
not drunk he ought to have been. He probably
very lonesome, if sober.
1t is easy to say that ought to nicely his
drinks at banquets and elsewhere But with most it
