character.

the maintenance of commissions and in
spectors. C. II. Guatafson, chairman of the legis

have the facilities for storing1 grain.

An Open Letter
. (About Bronchitis.) ' . ? "
TO THU rUBLIC: " ' V ' Auttat 1,14'
In Marcli, 114, I became afflicted with an attack of Bronchitis whtch.
rnrcrii m to rninalu In bed for two months. Tits doctor In attandanca
changed the medicine several tlmea, arid Instead of Improvement, I seemed
to row worse. .For a while I was despondent, until my wife read a little
pamphlet advertising the "Ksaence Mentho-l.uxene." Discouraged with
what I had been uninK without effect. I was willing- to try almost anything
that mmndod like a cure. The Menllio-Uaxenn was bought, the syrup pre
pared according to direction, and before half of Ihe quantity was conauined
the cough had abated and I waa at work four daya after, and have never
felt any symptoms of the dread dlaeane since. All who are acquainted with
Bronchitis will understand how hard It Is to subdue the cough, but today
1 am willing to take oath or make an affidavit to the effect, that my
case of Bronchitis was as severe as over afflicted man, and that I was ,
positively cured of it in less than four days, all due to the wonderful
curative powers of the "Ksaanre Mentho-taxene." Plnce then I hava recom
mended it to air sufferers as I was, or to those who were subject to colds
of any kind. In each case the medicine sustained the reputation 1 had
given It, and all were loud In their praises or this truly valuable pre
scription. . ; ,
All who may be skeptical In Its use can writs me. and t will cheerfully
give them all the information they desire above my personal signature.
