It Preyeuts Sore Throat.
No simpler way to kill a cold and
stamp out sore throat than by applying
Nerviline—rub it in freely, and then put
on a Nerviline Porous Plaster on the
chest. These remedies hunt out pain,
destroy every trace of congestion, cure
the cold and tendency to bronohitis.
Thousands find Nerviline inestimably
the best remedy for pains, aches, bruises,
neuralgia, sciatica, colds and winter ills.
Not only is it penetrating and powerful,
but it is safe and economical. All deal-
ers sell Poison's Nerviline. Large bot-
tles for 25o., the plasters same price.
Beware of substitutes.
TURNBEBRY.
Tuesday of last week Jas. MoBrien,
an old and well known settler of Let 53,
Con. 1, Tnrnberry, paid Nature's debt,
after an extended illness, in his 69th
year. He was a member of the Presby-
terian church and a Conservative in
politics. Mrs. McBrien and a daughter
(Mrs. Isaac Jewitt) survive. The funeral
took plane Thursday afternoon to Wrox-
eter cemetery, Rev. W. J. West, M.A.,
of Blnevale, conducting the services.
Pall -bearers were James and Peter
Moffatt, Pater McDougall, Samuel
Snell, John and David Miller. The
bereaved will share in the sympathy of
the community.
A. Wonderful Cold Cure,
Just think of it, a cold oared in ten
minutes—that's what happens when you
use "Catarrhozone." You inhale its
soothing balsams and out goes the cold
—sniffles are oared—headache is cured—
symptoms of Catarrh and grippe disap-
pear at onoe. It's the healing pine es-
sences and powerful antiseptios in Ca-
tarrhozone that enable it to act so
quickly. In disease of the nose, for
irritable throat, bronchitis, coughs and
catarrh, it's a marvel. Safe even for
children, 25o. and $1.00 sizes at all
dealers.
GODERICH.
The new conorete Government break-
water off the entrance of this harbor
was finished Friday evening. The
event was marked by a prolonged salute
from every available steam whistle
along the waterfront. Although an
experimental length of 500 feet was
commenced three years ago, and finally
abandoned, the time for completion un-
der the recent contract was remarkably
short, in view of the magnitude of the
work. So energetically has .the work
been carried on under Contractor Wil.
Liam Bermingham of Kingston, that
even the most severe gales proved small
hindrance. It is hoped the Government
will have the breakwater extended the
full length of 1,500 feet as originally
planned.
