F. Tlsue acted aa secre tary. William Kammcr was selected as treasurer. The meeting was to protest against the alleged high assessment. It was stated that parties who would be benefitted had not been assessed at till. It Is claimed that the residents es caping taxation for the Improvement only need have a resolution nasspd In councils to connect, although they are not colled upon to pay a pro rata share of the cost. To overcome this apparent Injustice It was suggested that an effort be made to have the district enlarged, and falling In that, to have the assess ment readjusted, because In some cases the assessment Is almost as much as the property Is worth. The following committee was chosen, from about one hundred property own ers present at the meeting, to curry the matter to court and ask for a board of viewer's, If necessary: V. H. Barry, Patrick Walsh, Martin Flaherty, r. jp Tlgue, Michael Scznlter, Peter Kuhn.

Ho could play Peeping Tom at tlio windows of the tallest dwell ing, could crush its walls like an egg shell and reach into tho ruins and gather up his human victims as an ostrich might ravage an ant-hill. That was the monster of tho past, one of the gigantic Baurians "drag ons of the prune, that tear each other ii. ... i. ,t in uicir sumo." Tho modern monster is as minute nfl lUC niOllSter Of thn nnit Viu mniuo Tf !u InuiaiVilo in 1,n nnl-n.l Jivim when magnified thousands of times until its form can bo determined. it is still a harmless looking creature. And yet where tho monster of tlio fast slew its thousands, tho modern monster slays its tens of thousands, ts very minuteness nnd invisibility are in its favor. It casts no shadow of warning. Its presence is heralded by no bound. It is as silent and invisi- l, uic ao uawij iiu. aimusb as LUlTluie, I One of tho mightiest of modern monsters is tho Grippe germ. Cities that couiu ueai oacK armies uavq ueen practically overcome by this microscopio organism. Men, women and children tro down before it all to suffer. many to succumb. As a rule, Grippo only successfully attacks those who are debilitated and weak. Others throw off tho disease readily. Tt is notable that Grippe is most prevalent and most fatal in tho spring when atmospheric condi tions are most suitable to the propagation of the disease, and the human sys tem less able to resist its attacks. In winter tho open air exercise is reduced, the air of the home is usually over-hqated, and very often impure, and tho body heavily fed and heavily clothed, becomes enervated. A few months of this life ' lowers the tone of tho body and spring finds it ill conditioned to resist tho attack of disease. That is why Grippe reaps its harvest in the early spring. What can bo done to overcome the conditions which make the body tho easy prey of Grippe and kindred diseases ? Strengthen it. Tone it up. Purify tlio blood. Stir up tho sluggish liver. Put the whole body on the fighting footing of sound health. To accomplish this thoroughly and permanently requires a reliable tonic and blood purifying medicine, which is found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "Last spring I had a severe attack of La Grippe," writes Miss Ency M. Van Wey, of Mitchellcrcek, Tioga Co., Pa., "ifnd wis under treatment of one of the best physicians in this part of the country from March until in July, and although benefited by his treat ment, yet I was left in a miserable condition. Nervous prostration seemed to be the leading trouble ; was very despondent, would awake mornings with a dull pain over my eyes, had bilious headache a great share of the time ; great distress after eating, stomach would bloat and I was very weak. The least exertion would completely tire me out. I was advised to try Dr. R. V. Pierce's medicines. I wrote a letter of consultation to the doctor and received a prompt and very satisfactory reply. I immediately bought a bottle of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' one of ' Favorite" Prescription ' and a vial of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and took them as directed. By the time I had taken two-thirds of these medi cines I felt such a decided change for the better that I bought half a dozen bottles more, three of ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and three of 'Favorite Prescription.' Now I can truly say that I feel better than in five years before. One by one my symptoms gradu ally disappeared. No more weakness, despondency nor blues. Am well and happy, and I truly thank God that Dr. Pierce has been permitted to live to prepare and send out such valuable medicines for the relief of suffering humanity. "I would say to all sufferers, -Write immediately to the World's Dispensary Medical Association, then give Dr. Pierce's medicines a thorough trial.' " The debilitated condition which results from an attack of Grippe is not a mere superficial feeling, but a serious fact. In such a weak condition the sys tem easily falls a prey to any stray germs of disease which may attack tho body, and for this reason thqsc who recover from an attack of Grippo often tall victims to pneumonia or consumption. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery meets every demand of the debilitated system at this crisis of health. It cleanses the blood of poisonous accumulations. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands, so increasing the supply of pure, rich blood which feeds and strengthens every organ of the body. It heals tho diseased tissues of the throat and lungs, and restores tho body to perfect and permanent health. "A word for your 'Golden Medical Discovery,' " writes Mrs. E. A. Bender, of Keene, Cochocton Co., Ohio. "We have been using it as a family medicine for more than four years. As a cough remedy and blood purifier there is nothing better, and after having the Grippe Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is just the right medicine for a com plete building up." "Three years ago I had the Grippe," writes Mrs. Tillic m"Vi " vjiavc cwic-v:ii, iviauuu u., Jvy. "j.i scmeu on my lungs and the doctor said I had consumption. I took six bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' aud am thankful to say I am entirely well." Sick people, especially those suffering from chronic diseases, aro invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free, and so obtain, without charge, tho opinion of a specialist on their ailments.
