The Lincoln Call has been sympathiz ing with "poor old Nebraska City" and iu a general way claims it is the dullest grayeyard of a town to be found in the west. The Press returns the compliment in this wise: "Editor Bushnell of the Lincoln Call, iwho is a warm friend of the Press, it is said contemplates removing to Nebraska City. He is weary of Hying in a town where cattle roam at will thrqugh the city eating the grass that grows in the streets around the opera house and sleep ing at night on the moss that grows on the walks around the Call budding. The songof the meadow lark that greets Mr. Bushnell's ears when he wakes in the morning is becoming monotonous and Ine primeval stillness of the town has grown oppressive. He will come to Nebraska City and mix with the surg ing crowds and listen to the rumble of hacks nct carriages and street cars and he will gi ye him self the glad pleasure of sleeping in a room where there is gas and where he can see the light f electric lamps and he -will be awakened by the rnmble of heavy trucks and the noise of a busy world."

Nothing Is better adapted for such emergencies than Ayer's Cherry Tectoral. It soothes the inflamed membrane, promotes expect6rafion, relieves coughing, and induces sleep. The prompt use of this medicine has saved innumerable lives, both of young and old. " One of my children had croup. The case was attended by our physician, and was sup posed to be well under control. One night 1 was startled by the child's hard breathing, and on going to it found it Strangling. It had nearly ceased to breathe. Realizing that the child's alarming condition had be come possible in spite of the medicine it had taken, I reasoned that such remedies would be of no avail. Having a part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses, at short intervals, and anxiously waited results. From the moment the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing grew easier, and in a short time it was sleep- ing quietly and breathing naturally. The child is alive and well to-day, and I do not hesitate to say that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved its life." C. J. Wooldridge, Wortham, ; Texas.
