Sciatic Trouble From Sprain

of B&cK.

Dizzy, Dull , Nervous, ' Constipated.

Dr. Miles*-Nerviixe Com* pletely Cured Me.

A, frequent complication of rheumatism and Sciatica is constipation/ T h e n i e o t D r . Miles' Kerve and Liyer Pills in conjunction with Restorative Nervine, makes an ideal treatment for such cases. The Nerve and Liver Pills, by their tome influence upon the nerves of the stomach, liver and bowels, cause them to actnaturally. Thus the system is readily cleansed of the impurities-which cause the trouble and the nourishing and soothing; effect of Nervine, is allowed to do its wonderful work of restoration without hindrance from the complication. *

"About ten months afco I sprained my back. This ran into sciatic trouble from which I have suffered more or less eversince. This wasrcomphcated by chrome indigestion, ihad sick headache every day with a disry, dull feeling1, also quite a little confusion. Was extremely nervous and suffered much from constipation. X was influenced to try Dr . Miles' Remedies and decided toeiye them a trial. I procured a bottle of the TJe-storative Nervine and a box of the Nerye , and Liver Pdls. J used them as per direc­tion* ancjreceivedmuchjehef. I continued the Nervine until I had used several bottles of the "Same and I am glad to state that it has cured me «ompletelv and permanently.

Ogdensburg, N . Y., March 4, 1903. Hon. George Hall , (Mayor Ogdenisburg,

N. Y.:, D e a r Sir:—

We, the unuers igned members of t h e oommititee appointed by you to consid­er the needs of the c i ty of Ogdenshurg a n d o the r t e r r i t o r y (adjoining the Os-wegatch ie river, 'between the ci ty of Ogdenisburg a n d the village of Gouver-neur , d o respectfully acknowledge t h e receipt of t h e letiter from Harry Ba tes , Esq. , sec re ta ry of ithe Water S torage commission, enclosing copy of proposed bill ent i t led "An a c t continuing the Uhe W a t e r S to r age commission and; in­c reas ing i t s powers , e tc . "

W e h a v e exaanined this proposed act and h a v e been surpr i sed that it w a s necessary ito anake t h e bill so volumin­ous . I t seems t o us too cumbersome a n d indefinite 'to work satisfactorily, a n d fu r the rmore -the ibiW does not seem t o iis t o h e i n l i n e with, the original p u r ­pose for wMcn tlhe W a t e r Storage Com­mission -was appointed.

On page 8, commencing with line 4, i t reads—'"They sluall then proceed to de te rmine -what proportion, If any , of such s u m Shall he "paid by t h e people of t h e 'State- of New York, talcing in to a c ­count t h e public importance, location a n d 'benefit of t h e said river improve­m e n t for t3ie publ ic health or safe ty or t h e promotion of navigation."

I t seems- t o us that a large portion, if not .aflil of t h e eosft of such improve-, (ments should -be paid by t h e S t a t e and t h a t t he improvemems should be m a d e only where i t satisfactorily appeared,, t h a t Ifchey were necessary for t h e p ro ­tect ion of life and property. B u t if a n y port ion of t h e cost is ito be paid b y a s ­sessment on local 'property it should be smal l a n d provision should be m a d e in tflie bill ' that i t should not in a n y case .exceed a cer ta in percentage of t h e va lue of t h e proper ty deemed to be benefitted.

T h e t e n t h ani iual repor t of thei S t a t e Oharjities Aid ' associat ion t o the ' State ' Commission i n L u n a c y , which ife j u s t ou t , conta ins the following reporjt of a vis i ta t ion t o St. L a w r e n c e S ta te hospi­t a l : " . !

The vis i tors represen t ing y o u r ; a s s o ­ciation called, a t - the St. Lawreneei S t a t e hospi ta l on Sept. 11,1902, wi thout notice of the i r intent ion to m a k e a visit i t th i s t ime. The d a y being b r i g h t and d e a r , much of our ibime w a s devoted fo k n in-spectioini of the grounds , the fa rm and garden connected wi th th i s ins t i tu t ion and the fa rm and g a r d e n cot tages , i n which a re quar te red pa t i en t s whlo aire physical ly best able t o ass is t in work on t h e farm, a n d in the extensive vege­table garden. The rniilk, pork a n d vege­t ab l e s produced forin a considerable p a r t of the food supply of the hospital .

The land owned by t h e S ta te and con­nected w i th th i s instStufcion. comprises approximate ly 1,000 acres^ The grounds sur rounding the buildings are beaut i ­fully laid out wiith lawns, drives and walks , and a r e ornamented wi th m a n y fine shade trees, shrubs , flower beds, etc., present ing a most a t t rac t ive a p ­pearance, t h a t cannot fall to have a beneficial Influence upon the mental and physical condition of the pat ients , m a n y of whom are employed in keeping in order the grounds and Sn mak ing im­provements thereon. The malin portion of the 1,000 acres is operated as a farm, which is s teadi ly being brought into a high s t a t e of cult ivation. A but te r factory is operated in connection with the farm, t h e principal supply of milk being purchased from farmers in the vicintity, supplemented a t t imes by the surp lus of milk, t he product of the large da i ry kept on the hosptttal farm, not re­quired t o supp ly the needs of the hos­pital . Bu t t e r from thSs factory is fur­nished to th i s inst i tut ion and other S t a t e hospi ta ls for t h e insane.

A thorough inspectlion was made of t h e women 's ward in t h e admin i s t ra ­tion group, and- every th ing w a s found 5n perfect order; the d a y rooms bright, clean and well vent i la ted; t he dormi­tor ies (unoccupied dur ing the day) with windows t h r o w n open, sun and air s t r e a m i n g in, a n d the beds, mat t ressss , blankets , sheets ' and THIIOWS sys temat ic ­ally a r ranged , so a s to ob ta in a g#od air ing.

P a t e n t s tokers have l a te ­ly been installed in the bofiler room, r e ­sul t ing in g rea t sav ing in fuel and. in labor of firing.

The fire depa r tmen t was found in ex­cellent order, hook and ladder and hose wagon of approved type, and "a noble-looking horse s t and ing in his stal l in readiness for a n emergency call. A regu la r fire drill i s ordered a t in tervals , and every precaut ion t aken t o avoid ser ious accident o r loss of life in the event of fire.

The w a t e r supply for t h i s ins t i tu t ion w a s formerly t aken from the St. L a w ­rence river, b u t ' o n account of the con­tamina t ion of th i s source of supply by sewage from the ' citv of Ogdensburg, i t was decided in 1900 to use t h e w a t e r of the Oswegatchie river, an Adirondack streams empty ing in to t h e St. Lawrence a t Ogdensburg, and from which the sa id ci ty ob ta ins i ts supply. An a r -a r r a n g e m e n t w a s accordingly made wi th t h e ci ty author i t ies , and t h e hos­pi tal haig been us ing t h e Oswegatchie r iver w a t e r for t h e p a s t t w e n t y months , wi th m o s t -sat isfactory resul t s .
