Wednesday at the session of the county council an important report of great in- terest to '!ry county was presented by the finance committee. It dealt with the treasurer's statement of having redeem.nl all outstanding debentures amounting to two hundred and forty nine thousand dollars, under Railway Bylaw No. 174. There is a surplus on hand of one thousand ix hundred and eighty-two dollar* and fifty one cent* to be viiscrihuted among the municipalities forming the railway <r.'iij>. The member* of the council are evidently well pleased that such an amount of indebtness has been lifted "if their shouldar*, leaving as it does, the county free from any bonded debt, a po- sition which, we imagine, is enjoyed by very few counties in Ontario.

You are liable to have a cou^h at any time, and no other remedy is so effective I this world- i renowned prcpara- I tun. No houneholu, ' with young children, should be without it. Scores ot lives are saved every year by it* timely use. Jenner, Northampton, Mass., write* : " Common gratitude im- pels me to acknowledge tho great bene- nt* I have derived for my children from the use of Aver's most excellent Cherry Pectoral. Iliad lo*t two dear children from croup an. I consumption, and had the greatest fear of losing my only re- maining daughter and son, as they were delicate. Happily, 1 find that by giving them Ayer'* Cherry Pectoral, on the first symptoms of throat or lung trouble, they are relieved from danger, and are be- coming robust, healthy children." "In the winter of 1888 I took a bad cold which, in spite of every known remedy, grew worse, so that the family physician considered me incurable, sup- i>osing me to be in consumption. A-* a last resort I tried Ayer's Cherry Pecto- ral, and, in a short time, the cure waa complete. Since then I have never been without thi* medicine. I am fifty year* of age, weigh over 180 pound*, and at- tribute my good health to the u*e of Ayer'sCherry Pectoral." O.W.Youker, Salem, N. J. "Last winter I contracted a rarera cold, which by repeated exposure, be- came quit obstinate. I waa much troubled with hoarsenea* and bronchial Irritation. After trying various medi- cine*, without relief, I at last purchased a bottle of Ayer'* Cherry Pectoral.
