We have -received a communication from Mr. W. Rogers, secretary of the Blackball Miners' Union, complaining of the ventilation in the Blackball mine. The complaint appears to be that, insufficient: air. is carried to the face of the workings. The general manager of the mine and the Government Inspector of Mines, in response to a complaint from the miners, visited the mine, lint declared the ventilation to be sufficient, although it is contended that the miners and check inspectors insist that it is not. According to the secretary of the Miners' Union, the air is undoubtedly in tho mine, and even in tho particular section the subject of complaint, but this, it is submitted, is of no benefit, to tho men by reason of it not being conducted to the face. Apparently what is desired is that the Coal Mines Act should be amended to provide the specifiej amount of air shall sweep 011 to tho working face where the men are employed. * "Dear mo," said Hip .vounsr wife, "what can be the matter with the tinned salmon? I have boiled it for two hours, and there is no indication of the tin coming off." ■
COUGH-COUGH. Nine-tenths of the diseases which io-dn.v afflict the human race have their rise iti ii common, ordinary little cold. The cold comes and is neglected. It moves down from nose to throat, from throat to bronchial tubes and lung.;, and if it is not checked there, may develop into something serious. The, after-effects of such n cold arc suro to weaken the whole system, and it is well for all to remember this. An equally important fact to remember is that tlie proper arid only scientific treatment for a cold' or in any sta?e is Dr. Sheldon's New Discovery. This remedy will quickly relieve and eventually euro tho most obstinate cold or comh, and will prevent all the dangerous aftereffects of Luu); and Throat disease. Dr. Sheldon's Xcw Discovery for Coushs and Colds is an unequalled preparation for tho immediate relief of all diseases of Hie Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Tilings. including Influenza. Bronchitis, roughs, Cold.-, Asthma, Quinsy, Sore throat. Hoarseness Difficult Respiration, and pains in the Chest.
