iAsjixv A man must reap as he sows. If he sows ill-health he will reap ill health. If he neglects his health the weeds of disease will grow’ up and choke it. It is a daily and hourly marvel that men will recklessly neglect their health, when a moment’s thought should tell them that theft are courting death. It lies in most every man’s power to live to a green old age. If a man would only take the same care of himself that he does of his horse, or cow. or dog, he would enjoy good health. When a man owns a hundred-dollar horse, and it gets sick, he docs not waste any time about doctoring him up. When his garden gets full of weeds, he doesn’t delay about rooting them out. for he knows they will choke out his vegetables. When he is out of sorts, sick, nervous, headachey, has no appetite and is restless and sleepless at night, he pays little attention to it. The result is consumption, nervous prostration or some serious blood or skin disease. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the best of all medicines for hard working men. It gives edge to the appetite, facilitates the flow of digestive juices, invigorates the liver and purifies and enriches the blood. It is the great blood-maker and fleshbuilder. It cures 98 per cent of all cases of lingering coughs, bronchial and throat affections, weak lungs, bleeding from lungs and kindred affections. Do not wait until the lungs are too far wasted to admit of being cured. “ As you know, five years ago the doctors had given me up to die with consumption,” writes Mr E. G. McKinney of Deepwater Hayette Co., W. Va. I took treatment from Dr. R V Pierce, and am entirely well now I had taken steadily, as directed, his Golden Medical Discovery.’ ” Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One little ’‘Pellet’’ is a dose.

Said walls to be two (2) feet thick and to commence below the freezing point on solid foundation and at least eighteen (18) inches below the bottom of the tile, and to be built up as high as the road bed or grade and be covered with a coping that is at least six (6) inches thick and to extend three (3) inches over the wall except on the side next to the grade. Said coping to be one (1) solid stone. All masonry shall be ‘pointed up.” also all layers to break at least six (6) inch joints and to not exceed a three-quarter (*£) inch joint between the layers.

At such points where the double tracks cross I the bridges or stone arches already in or that may hereafter be put in. the two tracks shall meet on either side of the bridges or culverts and form a graceful compound curve, each resuming the proper position as heretofore mentioned, also that the approaches to them shall be stoned to the full width thereof and to extend either wav to the distance ot fifty i (50) leet. gradually slowing to meet the earthen track, while the macadam track will remain as mentioned. At such points where the proposed road makes a right angle turn the contractor will i be required ti place in bowlders firmly set in the earth on the short side to prevent turning off too suddenly. stipulations.
