A 25- -cent bottle of Dr. Chase’s Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine will drive these away. It is, without doubt, the best medicine for the purpose to be had anywhere. Consumption is a disease which destroys the tissue of the lungs. Once gone, no medicine can replace that tissue. Good medicine may arrest the disease even after one lung is Wholly gone, as longas the other remains sound. Once both are attacked, however, the victim is doomed. Just why people should risk their lives to this to check it, it is hard to conceive. It IS much easier prevented than cured. Throat troubles and severe colds are its usual forerunners. A There are many remedies on the market for the cure of consumption, but consumption, once it reaches a certain stage, cannot be cured. In professing, therefore, to do what is impossible, these remedies prove themselves to be simply humbugs. .3 «9‘ It begins at the Throat and ends at the Grave c!- How many a human life is unneces- sarily sacrificed. .fi .29 .fi 5 For the past few weeks Hopeville ? and Vicinity have been infested by tramps.
