He advised that 1 j;ive up business and go away somewhere for a long r«bt. a* that was all that could be done. As itooii ii» I was able to travel I went to Elgin. 111., where I took a court*- of 15 treatments from Prof. Leach, aod wan then able to re­ turn home aud resume my business, and have continued my work up to the present lime. Several years ago Prof. Leach cured rue of a >evere attack of neuralgia which had settled around the heart and my case seemed hope- lev*. 1 have personally known of many cures performed by J'rof. Leach during the past four or five years, in a wide variety of dis­ eases, after the doctors had failed to do any good, and having, personally, received very great benefit from his treatment.

According to figures shown by the St. Paul railroad company, just 200,000 per­ sons paid their fares to Fox Lake over their line this year, that is, that nnmber of persons left their trains at Fox Lake station. These figures are correct, in that they show how many people visited the lake, the number not indnding those who came via team, auto and in other ways. However, the 200,000 figures make it appear that the summer travel was enormous despite the cold season and a surprisingly short season as well. These figures are from May 1 to Sept. 1. The season was much shorter than any in a number of years, but the own­ ers of resorts are not discouraged, they say they did well while the season was on and they have hopes for a better trade next year. The shortness of the season had the result of bringing the people all in at uiice and many nights ^h© hotels could not accommodate the patrons and some of them had to sleep in, the woods, on porches, etc. The Miueola, hotel is to be kept open all winter for the first time, the plan in the past being to close it in October. White City Comedy an<l Vaudeville Co. The return engagement of the White City Comedy and Vaudeville company next Saturday and Sunday evenings will be hailed with delight by the peo­ ple of McHeury and surrounding terri­ tory. Those that witnessed the per­ formances of this company, last spring will remember that they were among the best performances ever given in the opera house. Everything is the clean­ est in comedy sketches and high-class vaudeville. This is not a company try­ ing out something to see if it is any good at all, bnt a finished, refined and amusing entertainment. Every person who'enjoys a good evening s amuse­ ment certainly should see this, the best show of the season. Hard Times In Kansas. , The old days of grasshoppers and drouth are almost forgotten in the prosperous Kansas of today; although a citizen of Codell, Earl Shamburg, has not yet forgotten a hard time he en­ countered. He says: "I was worn out and discouraged by coughing night and day, and could find no relief until I tried Dr. King's New Discovery. It took less than one bottle to completely cure we." The safest and most reliable-cough and cold core and lung and throat healer ever discovered. Guaranteed by N. H. Petesch, F. Masquelet, McHenry; G. W. Besley, West McHenry, druggist#.

I have found a tried and tested cure for Rhetv iMttiwn 1 Not a remedy that will straithten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor torn bony growths back to flesh a rain. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and panes of this deplorable disease. In Germany--with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt--I found the last ingredient with which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy was made » perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient, I successfully treated many, many cases ol Rheumatism; but now, at last, it uni­ formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular wastes, found In Rheumatic Blood, seem to dissolve and pass away under the action ofthls remedy aa frqely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause ol Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no real need--no actual excuse to suffer longer with­ out help. We sell, and In confidence recommend Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy N. H. PETESCH, J C Botton wa« in Woodstock Holi­ day. • " Fred Hartman Wat - It} Crystal Lake Monday. •><« Mrs. J. H.

Because yon have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not imagine for a moment that colds are not danger­ ous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a common cold. Consumption Fs not caused by a cold, but the cold prepares the system for the reception and devel­ opment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It is the same with all infections diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to bensontracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger lurks iu a common cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many remarkable enres effected by this preparation have made it a staple article of trade all over a large part of the world. For sale by all druggists. HOLCOMBVILLK. Mrs. A. P.

When the law went into effect there were many ingen­ ious efforts to evade its provisions. A saloon keeper in one of the small vil­ lages in Maine rented a small building adjoining his saloon, which was con­ nected by a door cut thru the walls. In an adjoining room he had a small pig which he asserted was blind. Whether the animal was totally blind I do not know, but there was no expression abont the eyes that indicated that he might be blind. The saloon keeper pasted a large placard over the < door announcing that a blind pig was on ex­ hibition within, admission 10 cents. Each visitor then passed into an adja­ cent bar room, where he was treated to a drink without charge. Thns the sa­ loon keeper could not be found guilty of selling liquor, but to see a blind pig. From this incident an evasion of the liquor law has come to be known as keeping a 'blind pig.' " For Cbroolc Diarrhoea. "While in the army in 1868 I was tak­ en with chronic diarrhoea," says George M. Felton of South Gilson, Pa. "I have since tried many remedies but without any permanent relief until Mr. A. W. Miles of this place persuaded me to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar­ rhoea Remedy, one bottle of which stopped it at once." For sale by all druggiate.
