He suggested that the funds for the hotel be brot up to at least $150,000, and thus let no debt hang over the hotel. The fund is now about $143,000.

VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR REVEALS HEALTH SECRET Tells of Wonderful Remedy That Has Kept Him Fit for Thirty Years The Civil War ended more than fifty years ago, and the veterans of that great conflict are rapidly passing. The soldiers of that period endured many hardships, were exposed to the elements and in many cases, were ill fed. These conditions led to chronic ailments of all kinds, such as rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, constipation, heart trouble and diseases of the kidneys and liver. One veteran, Mr. Abram Arnold, R.F.D. No.2, Campbell, N.Y., now in his 77th year and hale and hearty, tells how he has kept himself in good health. He writes: "I have made use of Dr. A. W. Chase's medicines for 25 or 30 years and during that time they have never failed to do all that is recommended of them. I am a veteran of the Civil War—almost 77 years old, and was through fifteen hard fought battles, but am still living with the help of Dr. A. W. Chase's Tonic Pills. I have a bad heart, and find these pills of wonderful benefit for this trouble. Anyone wishing further particulars may write me, and I will gladly reply, as I want people to know of this wonderful remedy." You can buy Dr. A. W. Chase's remedies at all drug stores. To be sure of getting the genuine, see that portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M.D., are on each box. This is a trade mark for your protection against imitations.
