Just because you are not "laid up
or forced to quit your business or
pleasure, the warnings of stomach
and liver troubles should not go un-

to follow. These warnings take the
form of dyspepsia, Indigestion, bill
BUSINESS, dizziness, nervousness, con-
stipation, headache, backache, that
tired run down feeling, and various
other symptoms indicating deranged
stomach and liver.
Daily testimonials are received from
prominent people residing, in all parts
of Bridgeport, testifying how they
have been restored to health by the
use of the Wilderb treatment. Re-
Gently this signed statement was re-

SUED OVER CONTRACTS

Suit for 100000 has been brought
by Bernard Sachs Of this city against
the Park City Construction Co. OF

company has failed to fulfill certain
contracts for the erection of houses
in Stratford. Sheriff w. e. Steigler
has served the writs Of attachments
and keepers have been placed in
charge of the properties.

found stir in realty and construction
circles today and tended to explain
the recent filing of a mechanics lien
by Joseph Simko against property OF
Bernard Sachs in Sachs street, STRAIT
ford.
The Park City Construction Co. had
done considerable business in Bridge
port since It's organization May 49,
1915 when Incorporation papers filed
with the secretary Of state showed a
capitalization of $4,000 with Arthur
Bard Of Stratford and David Keen OF
