"I have been suffering for
over two years with Dyspepsia.
For the last year I could not
take a drink of cold water nor
cat any meat without vomiting
- it up. My life was a misery. I
had had recommended Sim
mons I,iver Ilegulator. of which
I am now taking the second
bottle, and the fact is that
words cannot express the relief
I feel. My appetite is very
good, and I digest everything
thoroughly. I sleep well now,
and I used to be very restless.
I am fleshing up fast; good,
btrong food and Simmons Liv-
."'rxmlator have done it all.
I write t'1'3 m l'Pes f benefit-in"-

oflier inexausiible water supply:
"John Bigras, a carpenter living on
E'ght and South Park street?, recently
contracted to have a well dug upon his
lot. Alter going down about sixteen
feet there was eeven feet of water in the

A Disease.
From p.ivale adv:ces we learn that a
disease, thought by some to be Teias
feve--, is causing mime oas deaths among
cattle' in Platismonth. The disease
seems to baffle the sk ll of local veterina
rians and generally causes death m a'xnn

Itia t uo that dn.ing the month of
August several cattle did die with a pe
culiar disease, but their malady seems to
liave beei caused by something they had
eaten and not by Te-as fever. As to
4i,. "nnmornns deaths." wo think the
lUl -V------
"piivate advice" was a little in advance.
The cattle of th-s neighborhood are m

this case it is the o ner of the cow that
rets feverkU and not the cow. The cow
Mv released after an attack
of about three hours, bntnot by death.

have no power over tbi3 disease.
