OF SOUTH EMO span

City officials yesterday made pre-
liminary survey for the opening up of
street entrances to the new bridge to
be placed across the river at South G
street.
A residence blocks the entrance to
the east approach. This will have to
be condemned and removed. The dis
tancesfrom the east approach to South
Fifth street is approximately one hun
dred feet. The street will be seventy
five feet wide.
On the west side of the river the
city will open street extending from
the bridge approach to the corporation
line, a distance of about two hundred
feet. From the corporation line a
road leads to the Abingdon pike. This
road is outside the city limits and will
have to be widened and improved by
the county.
The board of public works is con-
sidering the advisability of annexing
a small tract on the west river bank
so that the Whitewater boulevard can
extend from the west bridge entrance
to the National road to South West f

about their every day WORT, had run
no chance of loosing their life, had
suffered no pain, had received no scar,
and besides had expended a decidedly
smaller sum of money for the same re-
suits. Therefore if for no other
reason, it is business policy to haveI
this condition treated by a specialist
and treated without operation. Or in
other words, with medicines, which
have been tried, proven and found
satisfactory
Such is the kind of treatment, that
offer you, absolutely scientific, a
method of treatment that has not
proved successful in a few selected
cases, but one that has been the
means of curing hundreds afflicted
with goiter. Scores of patients have
consulted me, after they had given
up all hopes of securing results other
than by an operation. | accepted them
for treatment and treated them to
their entire and complete satisfaction,
sent them on their way rejoicing, as
they had reason to, for they had es-
capped the always much dreaded and
ever to be feared knife.
When patient suffering with
Goiter, or any other long-standing
chronic disease, consults me, | ex-
anime them carefully, l answer any
question they may desire to ask, ex-
plain their condition, and advise them
the proper measures to take. If they
desire to take treatment and their
! case is one which can be treated sue
cessfully, | tell them. Then if they
desire me to treat them, do so, but
they are at no time under any obli-
cation whatsoever to take or contract
for treatment. So you see, the patient
takes no chance in consulting me, for
consultation, examination and advice
are free and confidential.
Remember my remedies, treatments
and methods are those which have
been tried and proven by my own
personal experience, and in addition
combined and strengthened with the
newest, latest and most modern
| known to science and the medical pro-
fession. For limited time will
be able to treat those desiring same
at my same moderate prices, regard
| less of the enormous increase in price
of drugs.

Weak, Ailing Children

Remedy.

Remedy.
Here is another letter that has just
come to our attention, showing the
power of Vinol to build up health and
strength for weak, puny, ailing chill
dren.
w. A. Smith of Shanesville, Ohio,
says:-"My little child was puny, weak
and ailing, could not rest at night and
would not eat. / learned about Vinol
and tried it, and within week noticed
an improvement. The child's appetite
improved, it slept well, strength and
health were soon built up. We think
Vinol is excellent for weak, puny chill
dren.'
Vinol is a delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, containing beef
peptone, which creates an appetite
tones up the digestive organs, en-
riches the blood and creates strength
children love to take it.
We ask all parents of weak, sickly
delicate children in this vicinity tt
try Vinol with the understanding thai
we will return your money if it fails
to benefit your little ones.

If you are one of the many who are
unfortunate enough to suffer from a
condition known as Goiter or "big-
neck" you. will be interested in read
ing this article. Goiter is an over
growth or an enlargement of the thy
roid gland, which is situated in the
lower front portion of the neck. 1t is
very much more common in women
than men, and still more common in
young women and girls. There are
four general types or kinds of, and all
four give rise to certain common symp-
toms, namely shortness Of breath, par
ticularly upon eXertion, difficulty in
swallowing, palpitation of the heart, a
sense of construction around the neck
as though it were inclosed in tight
collar, and very often a short, dry
aggreVating cough. In addition tC
these symptoms, the exopthalmic
often called the "in-grown" goiter
causes a marked nervousness, protrud
ing eyeballs, and constantly increas
ed heart rate associated with irregu
larity and palpitation. There is also &
loss of body weight, loss of strength
sleeplessness and inability to work
without simply going to pieces" This
kind or type of Goiter is by far the
most serious, and is menace or dan
ger to life, death often resulting, il
untreated or incorrectly treated cases
Can Goiter be cured? This is the
question that will interest all who suf
fer from it. In reply: | will say, tina
