purchased of the Original Patentee the er-
elusire right to make ord rend the same with
in and for the County Of Addison, VT, and
i'm Essex County State of New York.
The Patent Lace has now been before the
public for a number of months-hundreds
have been applied in different parts OF the
country. and with a success never before
equalled by any REMEDIAL agent. Numerous
well authenticated certificates of its beneficial
influence in the removal of diseases Of long
standing, might be furnished from this imme-
date yicinity-in addition to the statement
of cases and certificates Of cures furnished by
DIR. Banning and others. But this is not
deemed necessary, as at the present time ref
erence can be given to individuals wearing
the Lace in nearly every Town in the Coun-
ty.
PHYSICIANS have long felt the necessity OF
a supporter differently constructed and more
perfect in its adaptation to the human form
than any that had been presented to the pub
lie. The invention of DR. Banning's meets
with their general appreciation, as it is de-
signed to relieve symptoms, and to remedy a
class of physical maladies which can not be
reached by medicines alone.
The decent or displacement of the vicera
from relaxation of the abdominal muscles oil
other causes tends to alter and derange the
function of every organ in the human system
and in many cases this deviation from the
natural healthy position Of parts is the sole
cause of general debility in Males g. Females

quired his own presence elsewhere
These iete-a-tltts became, finally, the
must precious portion of Osmond's visit;
and he even began to feel disappointed
when his venerable friend was able to
remain at home, prc(erring much rather
the sweet society of Ellen Elmer. Yet
he was not in love: at least he was not
aware ofbeing so. He was only CON
scious of having more than once con'ras-
ted Annabel with the good rector's pro-
tegee, aud the result was always in favor
of the latter.
The Woodstock age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1844-1845, 1844-10-03

the young heir found himself universally
courted 1t The hall; where accordingly,
he always spent his vacations. On VS.
it of this kind he had now come.
by the bye, Annabel, said Osmond,
the next day, 'who is the pretty girl
met at the valley spring yesterday She
has dark hair and eyes and may be about
thirteen. saw her enter the second
cottage on the right as turned into the
street. She is the most beautiful crea-
turc ever saw, or dreamed Of
Indeed' said Annabel, surprised Out
of her usual languid tone.
'Ycs, perfect lIelon-only too young
for that, added Osmond, colorlng al his
earnestness when he saw his companion 8
eye fixed on him.
Annabel, though scarcely sixteen, had
already learned to be ariul. She saw
that Osmond was interested in this girl,
and she determined to destroy the pow
err of her rival, even at the expense Of a
lalschood.
she is pretty, but that is all Such a
temper: her mother can do nothing will,
her. She wished to bind her tn us, but
ma would not have her about the house
ON any account. There was some talk
about her having committed theft that
would have sent her to the Penitentary,
but it was hushed up: for her parents are
excellent people in their way, only poor,
and you know, as all such people are,
very vulgar"
Osmond sighed nvoluntarily that one
so beautiful should be so base; he implic-
lilly believed all that his companion had
said. He thought no more of the pretty
cottager that day; but finer image after
ward would sometimes rise before him,
he dismissed it with passing regret.
