GERMS IN HER SYSTEM.
Every Woman Should Read this
Advice and the Generous Of
fer that Goes With il.

The number of diseases peculiar
to women is such that we believe
this space would hardly contain q
mere mention of their names, and
it is fact that most of these dis
eases are of a catarrhal nature. A
woman cannot be well if there is a
trace of catarrh in her system.
Some women think there is nc
help for them. We positively de-
clare this to be a mistaken idea
We are so sure of this that we offer
to supply medicine absolutely free
of all cost in every instance where

not substantiate our claims. With
this understanding, no woman
should hesitate to believe our hon

our claims TO test.
There is only one way to over.
come catarrh. That way is through
the blood. You may use all the
snuffs, douches or like remedies for
years without getting more than
temporary relief at best. Catarrh
in general is a diseased condition
of the system that shows locally
most frequently in discharges from
mucous membranes. Local treat
ment should be assisted by internal
treatment for the general diseased
condition If complete cure is to
be reached. That internal treat
ment should be scientifically devised
and faithfully administered.

CANvASS|NG PETITION
Board of Supervisors Engaged i'm
Examining Saloon Petition.
What Promises to be Long Drawn
Out Contest With Termination
i'm the Courts Commenced
Yesterday.

The final lap of the contest be-
tween the saloon and anti-saloon
forces of Winneshiek county start
ed at the court house yesterday
morning. The board of supervisors
met on Monday afternoon, but put
off action on the petition until yes

resented, the saloon forces by o. NJ.

Barber, president of the state anti
saloon league, Revs. Willett, Scar
vie, Schmidt, Torrison, Lemen, Nils
son and G. R. Baker and L. T.
Fosse. of Ridgeway, and possibly
others.
The board of supervisors gave
each side an opportunity to express
themselves as they saw fit concern
ing the canvassing of the petitions,
after which they began to compare
the signatures on the mulct petit
ton with the names on the poll
books of the recent election. 1t is
a slow process and will probably
take several days. Objections were
interposed by the anti-saloon forces
to several names, and notes were
made OF the objections for future
consideration. The checking of the
names with the poll list will be
completed, and then an examination
made of the list of Withdrawals pre-
sented by the anti-saloon forces.
The mulct petition was circulated
on election day and thereafter until
Nov. 2Sth, when it was filed with
the county auditor. 1t contained,
as heretofore announced, 3425
names, or over 20 per cent of the
1882 voters who voted at the recent
election, nes!Tly 6 per cent more
than the required 65 per cent. Since
that time a committee of anti-sa-
loon forces has been busy securing
signatures Of withdrawal from
those who signed the petition, and
If they have secured 2S5 of these
signatures in proper manner the
petition must be declared INSULT
cient. The withdrawal papers are
said to contain 420 names, although
their opponents claim that between
200 and 800 of. them are invalid
for various reasons. On the other
hand, the anti-saloon forces claim
that many of the names on the
mulct petition are invalid. So il
seems very probable that the con-
troversy will continue for some
time before it is definitely known
whether or not saloons may operate
in this county after next June, with
the probability that the matter will
finally be determined by the court.

The United States dispensatory, in
