Agt. 10-3 If people only knew what we knew about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be used in nearly every household, as there few people who do not suffer from a feeling of fullness after eating, belching, flatulence, sour stomach or waterbrash, caused by indigestion and dyspepsia. A preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid from the stomach, will digest your food, certainly can’t help but do you good. Smith, Yager & Falk. m The editor of the Walkertown (Ind.) Independent says be has two subscribers who frequently “get full." and every time they are in that condition they come in and pay a year in advance. One of them is already credited to 1941, and the fraternity throughout the state is crazy to find out what brand of whisky he drinks. They want to offer it as a premium. Notice to Citv Water Consumers. I hereby wish to notify all persons who are delinquent on city water accounts, that the t*ook<* have been charged up to January 1. 1901, on all meter and past due accounts, and the said books are at City Treasurer Wm. Archlwld's office, and every one knowing themselves in arrears for water are requested to settle the same on or before April 20, 1901, or 10 per cent, penalty will lie attached after that date. 11. B. Kuoff, W. W. Supt. Its When a man is compelled to ask a merchant for credit and has run an account for a greater or less amount, it is the proper thing for him to do when he has money to spend at all, to spend it with the merchant who has thus befriended him. There are too many who “stand off" one merchant for all they can and at the same time buy of other men in the same line and pay them cash for goods. This is unfair and ought not be done. Knightstown. April 22, 1898. Pepsin Syrup Co., Monticello, 111. Gentlemen: I have been selling Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin ever since it was first introduced to the trade.
