Terveer was at Fort Wayne Thursday to visit Mrs. Dan Donovan who is still being treated at the hospital. The person who disturbed the congregation last Sunday by coughing, is requested to call on Holthouse, Callow & Co. and get a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar. It always gives relief. d Massachusetts has eight towns in which there is neither a clergyman, a doctor or a lawyer. What ideal communities they would be if the taxgatherer could also be eliminated. Many have lost confidence amt hope as well as health, because they t hought their kidnev disease was incurable. Foley’s Kidney Cure is a guaranteed remedy for the discouraged and disconsolate. Holthouse, Callow & Co. d The earlier in life a man hustles around and gets the rough corners of individuality rounded off so that he fits into society without friction the more successful may he hope to be. The latest song and how- it goes is always of interest to some but the condition of one’s health should be first in the line of consideration. If you take Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsi u you can’t have indigestion or stomach trouble. That is certain. Smith, Yager & Falk. d It is understood that the State Bar association will bring a suit soon inthe hope of getting a decision from the supreme court to the effect that the constitutional amendments voted at the recent election have carried, notwithstanding the decision of Governor Mount.

How to Cure Croup. Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia, Duchess county, N. Y., says: “Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the best medicine I have ever used. It is a fine children’s remedy for croup and never fails to cure.” When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. This should be borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for instant use as soon as these symptoms appear. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. d

For hoarseness. Benj. Tngerson, of Hutton, Ind., says he had not spoken a word above a whisper for months, and one bottle of Honey and Tar restored his voice. Used largely by speakers and singers. Holthouse, Callow & Co. d True wit is a gift, notan attainment. Those who use it aright never yield to the temptation of saying anything that can wound another in order to exhibit their own cleverness. It is natural and spontaneous. "He who runs after wit is liable to catch nonsense.” Help is needed at once when a person’s life is in danger. A neglected cough or cold may soon become serious and should’ be stopped at once. One Minute Cough Cure quickly cures coughs and colds and the worst cases of croup, bronchitis, grippe and other throat and lung troubles. Smith, Yager & Falk. ts The famous Kilties’ Band of the Forty-eighth Highlanders of Toronto have for a drum-major Roderick Donald McLeay, who is seven feet three inches tall, and is said to be the biggest drum-major in the world.

Among the tens of thousands who have used Chamlierlain’s Cough Remedy for colds and lagrippe during the past few years, to our knowledge, not a single case has resulted in pneumonia. Thos. Whitefield & Co., 240 Wabash avenue, Chicago, one of the most prominent retail druggists in that city, in speaking of this, says: "We recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for lagrippe iu many casese, as it does not only give prompt and complete recovery, but also counteracts any tendency of lagrippe to result in pneumonia,” For sale bv Holthouse, Callow & Co. d
