If 7 Three Doctors in Consultation. “When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the first place; what experience tells you is best, to be chosen in the second place; what reason (i.e., Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination. Dr. Experience and Dr. Reason to hold a consultation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken.” From Benjamin Franklin. When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclination would recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Experience would reccommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it because it is prepared on scientific principles, and acts on nature s plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy con-

dition. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. o Mrs. J. Q. Neptune was assaulted by some unknown person last evening about eight o’clock. The story so far as we can assertain it is that Mrs. Neptune stepped into the yard at the rear of the house. Her husband was there attending to some work. She talked to him a few minutes and then moved away a few steps. Suddenly some unknown person lumped from between the house and a buggy shed nearby, and struck her on the head. She was knocked down and was quite badly stunned for a time. The miscreant, whoever he was, as soon as he had struck her started on a run down the alley and succeeded in getting away. Mrs. Neptune was not seriously injured but was quite badly frightened. There is no clue to the villiany. Attention Democrats of Union Township.
