A QIIAOK.-Periodically we have a

name of 'Wild Goose," and last Week
was here on his annual trip. He comes
from -near Stratford, 1 and we advise
the people to keep clear of him and his
herb medicine, as only regret will fol.
lose as was seen from the illness of
members of some of the families, by
which the call of the doctors from Cline
ton was required, ,It was a serious
case of what is known as irritant pois-
oning, the cause of which was the so-
called herb tnedidine of the "Wild
Goose.' Mr Young's family were very
ill, and at one time fears of recovery
were entertained, but through the
MUM:dm:Ss of reliable M. Dee from
ofinton, we are happy to report them.
out of danger. We would advise the
people to give the quack a wide berth.
When feeling' ill consult a reliable phy-
sician and do nob use bottles of so -
galled root or herb medicine. They
are werse than none. A warning is
sufficient to the wise.
