resignation; in his campaign he
was strenuous in presenting his
claims; he defeated some good

to the citizens 10 get the very
best possible successor. What
we need is the best man in the

PHYSICIANS STATEMENT.

There being many parties in

advisable for the physician tc
make 4 statement relative 10 the

take 20 grains Of Thymol in five

will require that he should drink
no more buttermilk for supper,

This diet will strengthen his

One strong symptom OF hook

can often see him lying around,

house. He went and looked at
the place and asked the gentie-
man what he would charge - MI

him he would do the work for $40
