TO ALL, PAB.TICTJXARY INVALIDS.
Spring is a trying season. Indications of sick
ness Bhould at once be attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to become
constipated and the system to remain in a disor
dered condition, rntil tbe disorder has time to de
velop iiself. An ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure, is an old and truthful saying
Therefore, we advue all who are trotfbled with the
complaints now very prevalent -headache, indiges
tion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay, Seheock
Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so barn
less and decisive in its action. It at ouce strikes
at the root of the disease and produces a healthy
tune to the system. People never need suffer from
ny disease arising from a disordered condition of
the liver if they would take this excellent medicine
hen they feel the fi'tt indications of the malady
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or four boxes of these pills with
them. They have an almost lustaneous effect
They will relieve the patient of headache in one or
twe hours, and will rapidly cleause the liver of
surrounding bile, and will effectually pievent
bilious attack. They are sold by all Druggist.

A Board of Health.
An ordinance will be presented to the
city council a: the next meeting, for con
sideration, creating a board of health, said
board to consist of four members, includ
ing the mayor, with power to make by
laws and rules governing their actions, not
conflicting with the ordinance and looking
to the safety and sanitary condition of the
city. They shall hold office forne, two,
three and tour years, and one shall be ap
pointed each year. The city clerk will be
secretary ot the board and the police an
auxiliary, so that the labor will fall upon
pat ties paid f.r it by the tity. The ordi
nance requires that every physician, mid
wile, or other person who may profes
sionally assistror advise at any birth, shall
make and keep a registry of every such
birth, and therein state the time, place,
i t ri
sex ana color ol tne cnid, and the name
of parents. A death register to be kept
also, and a certificate ot death from tbe
attending physician must be presented to
the secretary ot the board before a permit
to bury or remove such dead body from
the city will be granted, aud no dead
body shall be buried or removed from the
city without such permit. The compensa
tion of the members of the board shall be
$2 per day for actual service rendered the
city.
Ibis is a very comprehensive plan, and
thing that the city has lmg felt the
need of. There is little doubt but it will
become a law at the next council meeting.
and if competent men are appointed to the
position, it will be an assurance of safety
to Health ana lite, tbe value ot winch is
inestimable.
