Death of Christian \Vatper. — Death has removed another of the most esteemed and highly respected residents of this commurl:ty We re- fer to, the demise of MIr. Christian, Walper, who passed away at his home on the Mollard Line an Thursday last at the age of 68 years and 6 months. The deceased was amongst the sturdy and robust men, of the community and scarcely knew what sickness was until a month before his death, when he was taken do,.vn, and gradually .sank. Mr. Wolper was born, in the Township of Hay near Zurich, in 1855, and all his early life was ,spent in that Town- ship. Later he was for five years ani• the milling busnes,s in, 'Dashwood, be- ing a partner with the late Joseph Eidt. Twenty-nine years ago he moved frons. Dashwood to '.he Mallard Line.

For instance: "I suffered with all the symptoms of female trouble, pains low down in the back and sides, constipation. and constant headache. A doctor advised an operation.
