JAN. 16, 139 Your Couch Has not yielded to the various remedies you have been taking. It troubles yotl day and night, breaks your rest and reduces your strength. Now try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, before the bronchial tubes become enlarged or the delicate tissues of the lungs sustain fatal injury. As »n anodyne and expectorant, this preparation has no equal. It soothes the irritated membrane, promotes expectoration, and induces repose. The worst cough Can Be Cured £>• - V . ~ ' by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Dr. J. G. Gordon, Carrol Co., Va., writes: “I use Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral In my practice, and pronounce it to be tihequalcd as a remedy for colds and coughs.” "After the grippe — cough. This was my experience —a hacking, dry cough, with an incessant tickling In the throat, keeping me awake nights, and disturbing the household. I tried a great number of ‘cough-cures,’ but they gave me only temi»orary relief. At last I concluded to take Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and before I had used half a bottle, I had my first all-night sleep. I continued to improve, and now consider myself cured.” — A. A. Sherman, Cocymans, N. V. By Using Acer’s Cherry Pectoral, many have been saved from fatal illness. E. D. Estabrooks, Canterbury, N. Th,says: “In the winter of 1859 I was a surveyor of lumber in Sacramento, Cal. Being considerably exposed, I took a bad cold accompanied with a terrible cough. I tried several remedies,’ but they failed to cure me, and it ■was thought I was going into a decline. On the advice of a friend, I began to use Ayer’s Clierr/ Pectoral, and less than half a bottle completely cured me.” a yard, ^ne lot Double Wide Brocke 1 at 12 1-2 cents, worth 25 cents.

Ask your druggist for them; take no other. The best. The Mishawaka knit boot factory was damaged by fire to the extent of about $25,000 early one morning last week. E. F. Marshall was chosen state central committeeman by the democracy at -their convention held in South Bend on Friday of last week. About 125 teams are now employed in grading the new railroad about 4 J miles east of North Liberty. The man who has contracted for doing the work through Liberty says that they will begin grading through that place about the middle of February. Last Friday was democracy’s big day—Jackson’s day—and the democrats of St. Joseph county honored the memory of the hero of New Orleans at South Bend by banquets, speeches and dancing. The affair was under the auspices of the Jefferson Club. Says the Plymouth Republican: “The Pittsburg road is being paralleled from Pittsburg to Chic<^o. East of Fort Wayne active preparations have already been made and at some places this side of that city the work has been commenced. In a talk with one of the surveyors we learned that a thousand men are already employed, and that the work is to be pushed through as rapidly as possible,” The Wabash road is negotiating for 800 acres of land near Ha^pacli, a few miles distant from Ligonier, for which they have offered $125 an acre. The difficulty seems to be that some of the farmers do not want to sell. A representative of the company has been at Ligonier endeavoring to purchase the , farms of W. L. Sipe and Milton Herald, but has not yet succeeded. The be- : lief is that the company proposed to jfe,. make the new town division headquaras it is nearly midway between MPl»ilroif and Chicago,—Ligonier Bun’r.

If you are dull and stupid you are bilious and need a tonic. Take Simmons Livej Regulator. Dyspepsia and its attendant ills are quickly cured by Simmons Liver Regulator. An excellent remedy for dyspepsia —Simmons IJ ver Regulator.—C. Masterson, Sheriff of Bibb Co., Ga. The Valparaiso Messenger is authority for the following: “The Keeley Institute at Plainfield, has a patient only five years old, who is a confirmed morphine eater.” A re.narkable case.—Mr. Walter Wheeler, of the Washington Mills, Lawrence, Mass., for two years afflicted with varicose veins, accompanied by a troublesome eruptioi was completely cured after taking only eight bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaprilla. It is said that Governor Chase has been petitioned for a pardon for Dr - E. W. Viets, the Plymouth rapist, who is serving a four years term. Governor Chase was the officiating clergyman at the marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Viets.— Goshen News. Having tied the knot that the Doctor seems to have considered not so extremely binding, we advise the Governor, to let the verdict stand. Tho Doctor had a loud reputation in the same direction, aside from the case in which ho was caught.—Warsaw IndiunianRepublican.

A report reached this city last ovon^.g that Samuel Florian, of this eity, committed suicide at Peru yesterday by shooting himself through the head. He was a young man of erratic disposition, was married a few’ months ago and separated in a few weeks. He went to Peru last Saturday and today will be brought home a corpse. He was not a bad young man and we are sorry to record his untimely death.—Plymouth Republican. Off for a Week's Sport. De Hunter—l say, old boy, let’s go down to Hot-Scotch Bay duck hunting.

Hewitt, of tbe LaGrange Register, tries to “lay this o»” the Michigan City News, but it is a good “kitten,” let it belong to who it will: A good one is told on a prominent society leader in a neighboring town, perhaps it was at LaPorte. He had long feared that he would some day become paralyzed, and on one occasion at dinner, he suddenly interrupted the guests by exclaiming that his worst fears had been realized; that be was paralyzed in his right leg; that be had been pinching his thigh for some moments and was unable to detect tbe slightest feeling. A lady sitting next to him assured him that he was mistaken, for it was her leg he had been pinching instead of bis. He was cured.—Gosbeu Democrat.

THE DOCTORS ARE GUILTY. Grave mistakes are made by physicians in their treatment of Heart Disease. Day after day, the roll of sudden deaths is increasing and hundteds become yictims to the ignorance and indifference of physicians in studying this disease. One in four persons has a diseased heart. Shortness of breath, palpitation and fluttering of heart, irregular pulse, choking sensation, asthmatic breathing, pain or tenderness in side, shoulder or arm, weak or hungry spells, these are symptoms of heart disease.

Jolin Taylor spent Tuesday and Wednesday with his daughter Fannie in South Bend. William Fritzen and Miss Edith Dane, of LaPorte, wer guests of Philip Weller’s, Monday and Tuesday. The chances look very favorable for a wedding over on the cast side in the near future. Keep low’. If you have any friends visiting with yon, or anything else you know of, make a note of it, hand it to the reporter, and by so doing you may get your name in the paper. John Sehmeltz and family, Charlie Weller, Willian Fritzen and James Taylor, each with their best girls, took advantage of the beautiful snow last Tuesday and drove over to Maple Grove for a sleigh ride. The jolly party took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. George Hummer and returned home in the evening. They report having an excellent time.

A Woman's Horrible Lover. (Goshen Democrat.’ Hore is a strange devotion of a widow to her dead husband, whose head she has in pickle. Lot sonjii of onr women who have good, hearty, live husbands read it. Tbe idea of a woman getting divorced from a live man, while thi poor woman worships a “dead head.” It makes the cold chills run down a fellow’s back, and cures them of eating tripe and pigs’ feet: To tbe uninitiated a surgical hospital is • of horrors at the best, but tbe city hospital of Cincinnati has one specimen beyond the ordinary. On a shelf in the museum of that institution in a glass jar two feet high au4 • foot wide, an entire human Load is primaryA T _ Vi their p O |jtan papers. How in ti f could the undertakers woman comeß, gazes upon it, waapa and addresses it in the most endearing terms. It is a strange case of moral affection. The face of the horror is slightly wrinkled and yellow by time. Tbe alcohol has caused the lips to draw back and expose the teeth in ghastly simulation of a smile, and as tbe eyelids are similarly drawn the cold and fishy eyes glare at the spectator with a look which makes visitors hasten from the apot after a single glance—all but one. She remains sometime alone, and only the attendant at tbe door bears her sobs and broken terms of sorrowful love. Seven years ago that bead was on the shoulders of a Mr. Packard, a fine specimen of stalwart manhood. One day a terrible pain prostrated him, and all tbe usual remedies failed. He went to tbe hospital and tbe physicians decided that be had tumor of the brain. It progressed so rapidly that he died before his system could be put in order for an operation. His wife remained with him to the last, and only consented to an autopsy on condition that the head should be preserved as it now is, and that she be allowed to visit it weekly. Tbe physicians naturally supposed she would change her mind, but not so. The grisly horror still stares through the clear glass, and the widow comes to gaze and weep.

SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE Mrs-F. C. Boe, at Watkins, left this letter: *’My husband—Forgive me if I cause you trouble, but I suffer so. You do not know what these lonsr, wakeful, wretched nights are to me, and I am so tired, darling—tbe pain will never be better. It is not easy to take my own life, but I have been sick so long. Good Lye, my husband, I love you—your wife.” This is but one of thousands that gives up, instead of using Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, and being speedly cured of their wretchedness. Go to J.

At the Universal Exposition of 1889, nt Paris, France, the best sewing machines of the world, Including those of America, wore in competition. They were passed upon by a jury composed of the best foreign mechanical experts, two of whom were the leading sewing machine manufacturers of France. This jury, after exhaustive examination and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler & Wilson machines were th ' best of all. and awarded that company the hignest prize offered—the GRAND PRlZE—giving other companies only gold, silver and bronze medals. The French government, as a further recogni tion of superiority, decorated Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the company, with the Cross of the Legion of Honor—the most prized honor of France. The No. 9. for family use. and the No. 19. for manufacturing uses, are the best in the world to-day. And now, when you want a sewing machine, if you do not get the'best it will be your own fault.
