culties lias long been, and still is, Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. It cures Croup,
Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, and
Asthma; soothes irritation of the
Larynx and Fauces ; strengthens the
Vocal Organs; allays soreness of the
Lungs; prevents Consumption, and,
e-.on in advanced stages of that disease,
iclieves Coughing and induces Sleep.
Tlieie is no other preparation for dis
eases of the throat and lungs to be com
plied with this remedy.
"My wife had a distressing couch,
n ith pains in the side and breast. "We
tried various medicines, but none did
her any good until I got a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which has cured
her. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had the
measles, and the cough was relieved by
the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I
have no hesitation in recommending this
GCough IVSedicine
to every one afflicted." Robeit Horton,
Foreman Headlight, Morrilltou, Ark.
"I have been afflicted with asthma
for forty years. Last spring I was taken
w ith a violent cough, which threatened
to terminate my days. Every one pro
nounced me in consumption. I deter
mined to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
Its effects were magical. I was immedi-'
ately relieved and continued to improve
until entirely recovered." Joel Bullard,
Guilford, Conn.
" Six months ago I had a severe hem
orrhage of the lungs, brought on by an
incessant cough whiclr deprived me of
Bhep and rest. I tried various reme
dies, but obtained no relief until I he
pan to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. A
few bottles of this medicine cured me."

Daniel Frederick Of Indiana, Born 1789, '
Still Ou Earth. '
Daniel Frederick, yho lives on a i
farm four miles east of this city, was
100 years old October 16, and his fam
ily commemorated the event by ten
dering him a splendid repast. He
walks with a rustic cane, and is not
bowed with age. He steps with a
surprising alacrity, and hears with a
distinctness and answers with a
promptness that is remarkable. His
face is not full, nor is his body bur
dened with corpulency, but in every
movement ho manifests the wire and
endurance of Ins physical organiza
tion. His mind has always been clear,
and his life has been comparatively
quiet and uneventful. Indeed, he has
been perfectly contented with the
quiet lifo of a farmer, which perhaps
accounts largely for his longevity.
His short whiskers under Iris chin
were quite gray, if not white, but his
hair is still nearly black, and thick
upon bis head. It was no little aston
ishment to hear that he liad never
worn spectacles and that his eyesight
had never failed him. He said he
never bad what some people call their
"second eyesight."
His appetite is as good as it ever was,
and he sleeps as peacefully as a child.
His health has always been good ex
cept on two occasions, the last one of
which was nineteen years ago, when
he had what the physicians called a
fever. His father s name was Louis
Fredrick and his mother's name was
May Mary. They came from Tennessee
to this country when the Indians
slvulked through the country and
killed unsuspecting farmers as they
followed their plows. He was born
in Knox county, October 16, 1789, the
year "Washington took tho reins of
government under the present con
stitution, therefore he has lived under
every president since the beginning.
He was born and "raised" on the
Louis Marchino place in Johnson
township, and has always lived in the
country. "Youngsters now,' said he
"don't know what hard work is.
Since my young days, I worked hard,
minded nobody's business but my
own, and maintained my mother and
grandmother for forty years. The
best of farm laborers then only got $6
per month, and in harvest lime, when
extra pay was given, Ave only got 50
cents a day "We used reaphoolcs then
and plowed with wooden mouldboards.
"We raised just as good corn then as
now, but not so much of it Com
then was 10 cents per bushel and po
tatoes the same."
Mr. Fredrick had but few school
advantages in those days, but he
learned to read and write. Last June
fifty-one years ago he w;is married to
Miss Ithoda Fanner. She was then
but 18 years old, and on the 25th of next
December she will be 6fl. She is the
mother of 16 children, six of whom
were twins. Four of the twins are
dead. Vinoennes, Ind., Dispatch.
Dyspepsia is killing more people than
rum, ten times over. When a man has
dyspepsia his stomach is always with
him and he is always conscious of it.
He can't sleep, his food doesn't taste
right, he's morbid. Your stomach
ought to he your best friend, and it will
he if after eating you will take a little
Simmons Liver Regulator, to assist di
gestion and allay all irritation.
"After eating a heaity supper, if I
take about a tcaspoonful of Simmons
Liver Regulator, I never feel the effects
of the supper eaten." Ovid'G. Spakks,
cx-Maj'orof Macon, Ga.
As the result of 22,286 strikes from
1881 to 1887, involving 1,323,203 men,
the strikers lost nearly $52,000,000 and
the employers less than 31,000,000
and 30,000 men lost their employ
ment CAVr SLEEP MCHTS.

Suppression of the Menses may be

which produce the desired effect
through sympathetic action.

A PHYSICIAN'S OPINION.
"I have been practicing medicine for
twenty years and have never been able to
Imt upa egetablc compound that would,
ike Simmons Liver Regulator, promptly
and effectively move the Liver to action,
and at the same time aid (instead of weak
ening) the digestive and assimilative
powers of the system."

The "Washington legislature will in
all probability adopt a new rule for
obtaining the quantity of lumber in a,
log making 1x12x12 inches the basis of
measurement. Several rules have
already been filed in the house of rep
resentatives for adoption. Edward
McTaggarr, of TJtsalady, who for the
past twelve years has been lumber in
spector for Skagit, Snohomish and
Whatcom counties, h;is prepared anew
and novel rule which ho thinks ought
to be adopted.
The fundamental principles of his
rate are based upon each diameter
from twelve to seventy-two inches
The ratio of increase given in his log
table or chart is in accordance with
the ratio of increase of all the diam
eters from twelve to seventy-two in
ches, The government rule lies this
at thjrty-six-inch diameter and de
scends below the true line of ratio of
increase very materially and of nuch
above the true line the other way. -iScultlo

more, is beiDg brought to this city to

1.000 men to work on the road early

They pay their bills promptly and
have plenty of money backing the en

paid out over S10,000. They do not
seek any subscriptions to build the
road but go at it in a manner which
indicates that they mean business.
