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.

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. BRUSSELS. The barn, 30x50 feet, the property of George Muldoon, has been moved and placed on a gement foundation on the skating rink corner, opposite the park. Thos. Newsome had the contract.
